Ariat Heritage Lacer II SKU: #7528096

I ordered a 6.5 I usually wear 6.5 or 7. They were too big so I ended up with a 5.5 and they fit great. Love Zappos, they sent me the smaller size before I even sent back the shoes. I ended up taking off the leather fringe thing, I think it made the shoe look too clunky. I live in the desert and these are perfect winter shoes.

I am an Ariat fan. I have numerous styles of boots. These have a bit more formal look and are reserved for special events.

I could not believe that I could get a perfect fit from online orders. The Lacer not only fits well but is very sturdy. It goes well with casual or dress-up attire. I have been looking for a lace up shoe that would support a weakened arch and this shoe fit the bill. Thank you, Zappos

Ariat Heritage Lacers are the only cowboy boots I wear! They are extremely comfortable, and Zappos has the best prices around. With free shipping, I save even more! Its win, win, with Ariat and Zappos!

These are great boots. However, they do run large, as I later found out by reading reviews after I ordered my normal size. But, when I went down 1/2 size, they fit great.

Really great boots. I bought them for showing in horse shows. Very comfortable. I wore them all day and had no problems. No break in necessary. I wear an 8, but got a 7.5 and they were perfect! I also have very narrow feet and these fit like a glove. So if your feet are wide, they might not work. I have several Ariat boots and they are always comfy right out of the box!

I love these boots. I've been looking for at least five years to replace boots much like this that I couldn't find anymore. These boots do run a little big, though. I tried my normal size, 7, and they were so huge I went all the way down and tried a 6. A little tight. So finally I tried a 6.5 and they were just right. So comfortable, in fact, that they required no breaking in time, felt great from the first moment. Also, I have high arches and need great arch support or my feet cramp up. These are great, and my feet never hurt at the end of the day, and no cramping up. I immediately ordered the brown pair! Love 'em! I'm all set for years!

I love these. They're very comfortable and versatile. As other reviewers mentioned, these aren't dainty little boots - they have a slightly "tough" look to them. I'm not sure yet about the kilts - but they are easily removed, so I might take them off for a simpler look. These do seem to run a little bit big both in length & width. I ordered an 8 and could have gone with a 7.5.

I bought these last fall on a whim. I searched Zappos for black, leather, lace up boots. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but by process of elimination - these won out. The price was right and I really enjoyed every last detail on the boot - from the kilts down to the engraved shoelace hooks. Right out of the box, these looked fantastic on my feet. I only wear skinny jeans; these look great with your pants tucked into them, or with your pants pulled over. I also love wearing them with skirts. They have a slight, tough-looking, military edge to them, but at the same time they are never clunky. I wear them with everything from over-sized flannel shirts and torn denim to lace camisoles. They always seem to work and I always get compliments. Now, the best part - they are extremely comfortable! I work a job where I'm on hard concrete for 50 hours a week. Danskos were my salvation, but attractive - they were not. I was able to swap these in, and (excepting a few crazy Christmas shopping days) I experienced no comfort loss compared to the Danskos. Arch support and a slight heel give support to your legs and keeps your back nice and straight. So, I basically wore these every day in the fall, winter, and spring in cold and miserable Vermont. They were also very warm, very waterproof, and easy to clean if I stepped in a puddle of salt/slush. Now I see stores like Urban Outfitters and TopShop selling look-a-likes of these boots. There's no way they could match the Ariat in terms of comfort and workmanship.

Great boots! Good quality, true to size, and solidly constructed. Thanks, Zappos!

I absolutely love these boots! After trying many brands and styles including Dr. Martens and fitzwell, I lucked across this brand in someone's review. My feet are hard to fit. They are wide, the left is half a size smaller, and I have arthritis and a cyst in my large toe. These, however, fit comfortable. I was worried the right foot might be a little loose in the heel area, but after wearing them two full days now I can say they didn't need breaking in time. These should be the perfect shoe for everyday wear and trips. I didn't have a problem with the heaviness of the shoe, like some people.

This is a great pair of boots! They have wonderful arch support, are very well made. The manufacturer seem to expect them to last beyond the life of the very sturdy soles. They even offer re-soling services. This is not a glamor shoe, but it is not clunky. It looks fine with pants. I like the kiltie, but it is removable if a buyer wished to take it off. They are very comfortable for all day wear. I originally bought my usual size (11) but it was too long. The size 10 fits me well.

I’m very happy with these boots. Appearance: stylish enough for work. I like them better with the decorative kiltie even though it’s not my usual style. I’ve had several compliments on them. Fit and comfort: runs a bit large. Would order a half size smaller next time and see how they fit. I’m wearing with double socks. The leather is soft yet sturdy. They are comfortable walking shoes. Utility: I wanted a boot that would protect and support my ankles for riding my scooter to work, yet look nice enough to wear with slacks. These boots were just the ticket. The soles are "grippy" enough to provide the needed traction for riding a motorscooter. Quality: The boots seem very well made. I’m not hard on my shoes, but based on other reviews here, it appears they hold up well.

This style is very popular on sites like Urban Outfitters and Topshop right now. I love the trend, but didn't want to pay tons of money for something that is poorly made. I stumbled upon the Ariat Heritage Lacer II and was impressed with all the (+) reviews. My boots arrived last night and I was very happy with their appearance. The soles have excellent tread and provide support that you won't find in similar boots. Good quality leather too. My only warning to the ladies: these boots are not dainty. Not super clunky, but if you are self-conscious about your foot size (I'm a 9.5), just be aware that they won't do you any extra favors in that department. Definitely recommend this to others. Plus, if you get sick of the kiltie style, you can remove it and are left with nice black boots.

These boots are great. I took the tassel off and like the look better. They are great with wool socks, and they keep my feet warm. I love the combat boot look with jeans.
