    As always, reliable comfort and fit from Ariat. I was concerned that the photo looked brownish-black, but the boots were true black as desired.

    Well made boot and perfect for western styling. Toe box a little snug for me and the heel a little too loose. Have a normal width foot with a narrow heel and a bunion. Felt a full size larger than marked. Love the boot - my foot just isn't a good match. Very comfortable and looks like it's built to last!

    This is my first pair of cowboy boots. I've had a few different styles of Ariat shoes and paddock boots before but never these cowboy style boots before. As always, Ariat shoes are true to form and fit my feet perfectly (size 8 medium). Boots were comfy right out of the box, so easy to slip on and off and very stylish. Perfectly comfortable to walk in all day. Wish I'd taken the plunge years ago with these comfy boots!

    This is the first time I have ordered from Zappos. It has been a great experience! For the boots, they are fantastic! They are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I do have a narrow foot, so I was a little unsure of how they would work for me. They were perfect the first few times I wore them, but since they are leather, they stretch. I added the insert that I have to add to all my shoes and again they were perfect! My hubby says I should get the brown ones too since he sees me in my black ones all the time!

    These boots are exactly as you described and fit just right. I tried a pair on at our local store and they fit so well but was priced much higher. Zappos service and shipment was as promised and we received them when they said. Thanks.

    About Ariat

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Ariat are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    In 1990, Ariat International co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker set out to create a new company and a new way of thinking about footwear for riders. They realized that traditional English and Western riding boots were stiff, heavy and hard on the feet – not very well suited for riding. Both riders with backgrounds in the athletic shoe industry, they realized the unique needs of equestrians – both in the saddle and on the ground – and the performance-enhancing benefits that could be brought to riding boots to give these athletes an edge.

    So they assembled a group of top footwear engineers and designers, and set them on the task of creating the world's most technically innovative performance riding boots. They started by re-designing the outsole, rethinking the arch support system and finally taking a hard look at the suitability of "traditional" last shape and fit. While they were building the technology platform for Ariat boots, they were also talking to hundreds of top riders who helped in the design and development of the final product.

    In 1993, Ariat shipped their first pair of boots, and today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear, offering a full range of English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual footwear – plus new lines of performance apparel and accessories to fully outfit today’s equine athletes and equestrian-inspired lifestyle enthusiasts.

    Whether you are a professional equestrian athlete or a novice rider, you will find an Ariat boot with the performance technology that is perfect for you. Ariat boots cushion the foot while stabilizing the heel and arch, dramatically reducing fatigue and stress to the feet, legs and lower back. This amazing technology can also be found in a variety of casual Ariat shoes – providing you with comfortable and stylish alternative for those relaxed, easy-going days.

    Wonderfully made boot -- great deal! Crazy comfortable with decent arch support and a removable insole...I can hardly believe it is a boot and not a sneaker. I love the quiet non-slip rubber sole. I wear a 7.5 heel and an 8 sneaker normally. The 7.5 Ariat fits perfect! It is mis-listed as having a 9.5" shaft. It is actually 11" tall from the top of the 1.5" heel (12.5" total). It is such a great boot that Justin tried to copy it with their Stampede collection. The R-toe is the classic Cowboy style, but I returned it in favor of a more flashy fashionable J-toe (listed on Zappos as simply the "Heritage Western," opposed to the "Heritage Western R-toe"). It almost the same boot, save the toe and circumference. One problem for me with the R-toe (that is not a problem with the J-toe) is the circumference at the top of the shaft is 14" (.5" bigger than the J-toe) and the boot is made of softer leather than the J-toe, so it makes my skinny legs look like they are stuck in a too wide bucket. The J-toe is more stiff and straight and fitted to my calf.

    I really love these boots. They are very comfortable a little pull to get on but it is worth it. I would wear them all the time if they fit the fashion. the look is great as a western boot.

    These are the best boots I\'ve ever owned. Not only are they gorgeous when you get them, but they just get better looking with time. If they are a bit snug at first don\'t give up on them! In a week or so they will be so comfortable you won\'t ever want to take them off. I don\'t ride horses or anything but I find these shoes very fashionable. They can be casual or dressy and they go with just about anything. I highly recommend these shoes.

    Love these boots! Wore them brand new and walked for miles in sloppy, wet weather. They were completely comfortable. Got soaked through, but recovered well. My feet were happy at the end of the day.

    This was my first pair of cowboy boots. They take a little getting used to! Your heel does not touch the back of the boot so they almost feel like a pair of clogs that wrap around your instep but don't touch your heel. It took several days to get used to them, but they are so comfortable! I love them and would like another pair in brown! And they are dressy enough for a skirt or look great with jeans. Great for slushy Colorado winter weather.

    My daughter has these boots and raved about them. Now I have them also and am delighted with my purchase. Even with a resolving case of plantar fasciitis, I can walk in these boots all day. Very stylish and so comfortable. Zappos' speed of delivery is amazing, less than 24 hrs after ordering!

    I can not rate the fit of these boots because I could not get my foot past the shaft - too tight at the turn! Tried them at a local western store - same thing. Don't know how people get these on their feet.

    I have never written a review before in my life, but I am so impressed with these boots I just have to share! I have been looking for the prefect pair of cowboy boots for about 7 years now and I have not had any luck. I could never even get the boots on my feet because of my large ankle/calf area, I could only wear boots that zippered. But these slid on easily and fit like a dream right out of the box! I ordered half a size larger because I was afraid they would fit like all the other pairs I have encountered. They are so comfortable, amazing!

    These boots are excellent! I have large feet (size 11) and always have a problem finding boots to fit right. Not no more! These boots fit perfectly and also are comfortable! I can wear them for a night out on the town or all day at work and my feet don't hurt. Yea!

    I am a hairstylist, and I wore these to work right out of the box. The first day my feet were a bit sore, but that was it! Now these are some of my most comfortable shoes! They are a beautiful pair of boots, and I love the simplicity of them. They look exactly as I expected. I have never owned a pair of cowboy boots before, but I think I'm a convert! Thanks Zappos!

    Happy Purchase! The boot is extremely comfortable. I bought the "daisy" one in brown in blue a while back and the black one has been easier to break in. I am trying to wear these boots as often as possible, since they are easy to throw on and get out and about.

    Great Boots - Great Service - These are the most comfortable cowboy boots I have ever worn. The first time I wore them; I went shopping and had them on for hours with no problems. The Zappos experience was wonderful, as well. I ordered the boots on Tuesday, regular shipping and received them on Thursday of the same week!

    Good looking boots - I really like these boots, but they feel a little snug. I wear a size 9 and most size 9's fit me perfectly. I don't know if my foot is getting wider, but the last couple of pairs of shoes that I have bought have been a little narrow. I've been wearing them around the house to break them in.
