I usually wear size 8, bought these boots in 7.5 and they fit great with thick socks. Attractive boot, good arch support and insole, I usually get ball of foot pain in all types of footwear, but not a bit in these; comfortable from the moment I put them on and even after full day and evening of wearing them. They do scuff but you could put protective finish on if that bothers you. Very happy with this purchase and will definitely look for more Ariat products. Exceptional quality at a very reasonable price.

Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Naot - good for people with ball of foot pain, some Clarks are also good

I have purchased many shoes over the past 3 years from Zappos, from mules, sandals, dress/casual. I love the large selection, the ability to order the shoe in 2 sizes dependent on style/cut, and return what does not fit at no charge. Free shipping both ways! What a company. I live over an hour 1/2 from the closest mall. So shopping Zappos is wonderful, it is not an all day planned event. I purchased these riding shoes as my current ones are over 8 years old and I desperately need new ones and there are no nearby tack shops to purchase from. The Horse catalogs charge shipping both ways which is not economical if shoes do not fit. So I was very happy that Zappos carried this particular brand of equestrian riding shoe. Thanks Zappos. I recommend you to all my friends, male and female, as my husband has purchased shoes from you as well!

Love these boots. I've always been a fan of Ariat, but these really did the trick. Wore them for a full weekend immediately after receiving them. The heel is a little larger than my last pair of Ariats, but a thicker pair of socks took care of the issue.

These boots were recommended by the guide for a backcountry horseback/hiking trip in the Tetons. A good call to order a half size smaller than normal. Took them on a two-hour trail ride last weekend, and they were great.

Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Justin also makes a hiking/riding boot, but I haven\'t tried it.

I bought these boots for gardening work as I am a professional gardener. Do buy the next size down. The boots have a good arch support. I do wish they were offered in a narrower width though. I have had them for a month or so and they are no longer waterproof, which was one of the reasons I bought them. As for style hey they're work boots

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.

Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width

Ariat Terrain Waterproof - I ordered the Ariat Terrain Copper Waterproof boots. One thing to note is that you should definitely order a full size below your shoe size. But the boot is very very comfortable. I rode and worked in it the other day and my feet didn't hurt at the end of the day for once. I also gave one of our horses a bath and tramped through some mud and the boots protected my foot just great. My only comment is that the back of my heel felt a little sore, but I wasn't wearing the best socks when I work them, so that is probably the problem. Overall, this is a GREAT shoe!

Ariat Terrain - I love Ariat riding shoes. I've tried other brands but always come back to them. The comfort is unbelievable...I wear them all the time. It's hard to find size 5 1/2 in stores or catalogs, even, so I was delighted to see them at Zappos.

I bought a pair of these almost 2 years ago and I can't say enough good about them. I wear them when I ride my horses, I wear them around the farm, and I wear them to town. I've stepped in water with these on and my feet stayed dry. Also the leather still looked perfect after a quick wipe-down. They've gotten stepped on (by a horse) scuffed, scraped, scratched, and they still look amazing. Getting another pair!!!

I have had plantar fasciitis for quite some time, so finding good work shoes is always difficult when you're not allowed to wear sneakers. These shoes are the only shoes thus far that give me any level of comfort. Something about the way the heel cup is designed is what seems to be the magic. Be advised, no matter what anyone else says about this shoe, that you should order it at least one size smaller. I only discovered this when I bought my first pair a few years ago at a western wear store and actually tried them on before buying. I am normally a women's size 9.5, and I was able to fit into an 8B. I could have gone a half size larger at most. I've bought this in several colors and now have the greatest work shoes ever!

Great shoes! I'm an Ariat fan and these shoes did not disappoint me! I put them on and wore them to a festival the first day and a 12 mile trail ride the next day, no problems!

Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked

Love this boot! Okay, maybe it isn't really a boot, but it's close. Stabilizing feature makes this an extraordinarily comfortable shoe, especially for someone who has leg and back problems. This IS wider than the usual shoe so I didn't think the medium width would work but it fits my wide feet just fine, with plenty of room in the toe box. I'm not used to anything hugging the ankle and didn't know if it would irritate, but even that is fine. No break-in needed; it felt great from the first minute. Plenty of arch support and the laces make it possible to "custom fit" if you have a high instep. I got the black and will certainly get other colors. Can be worn with jeans or casual pants and they are so comfortable and non-skid that I wear them for my dog training sessions. This is the first pair of Ariat shoes I've had and if all of them are this comfortable - and provide this stability - you can bet I'll try some others!

Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width

Excellent arch support, soft straps, airy, non-sweaty design, and immediately so comfortable thanks to the soft footbed. After this sandal, in comparison, the regular footbed was just too hard for me. The only downside is that, for myself, I think it is just so hideously ugly. ut when your arch hurts, who cares? It’s unbeatable 5 star when it comes to supportive, cool, soft comfort. I wear it in the house and use the Birkenstock insole (also excellent) in my shoes. FYI - Birkenstock sizes run huge for me (I don’t follow the UK to US sizing they go by).

My second pair of these boots! I love these boots. I've worn my first pair for 5 years now. They're the most comfortable boots I own, I wear them as an all purpose work boot as well as a hiking boot. They never hurt around the ankle like a lot of high-top boots.

Good hiking boot - I bought this boot based upon other reviews, and they were pretty much on the money. They can get warm though, which I guess would be good if colder weather! My only complaint, in the toe crease, it changed from dark brown to a lighter color, almost as if the leather was painted. Because it is a hiking boot for me, I am not sending it back, but if you wanted it to keep the natural leather appearance, it might be something to think about. I was actually surprised to read it was resistant to manure...not that I am a farm girl, but my sister is a dairy farmer...so I might just have to wear them there and see how they hold up.

Great Boot - This is the fourth pair of Ariat Terrain boots I have purchased. I have a wide foot and this accommodates very comfortably. I have to wear boots to work and this one is great with good traction, comfort and is cute, too.

Aaaaah! This is the MOST comfortable shoe/boot I have ever put on my sore, tired, worn feet. The first pair I purchased was when I went to find a pair of paddock boots to ride in but when I tried the Ariat Terrain on I forgot about the paddock boots! I just couldn't take them off. And I have used them for riding western out on trails...thank goodness because when my horse went lame I had to dismount and walk. With the foot problems I have I would never have been able to walk the distance I did in my regular boots. THESE ARE GREAT SHOES FOR COMFORT...BUY THEM AND WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON YOU WILL SAY AAAAAH ALSO.

Great boot but not for hiking - A typically wonderful Ariat product--good fit and comfort, but the sole is too thin and flexible to be good on a trail if you like a stiffer, thicker sole that keeps you from feeling every rock and gives you a more rigid foot support for short up and down and climbs.

Troubled feet have found a home!! I ordered these boots for work. I’m on my feet all day in all kinds of weather so needed something strong, waterproof, but comfy. I have issues with my feet so really need support, comfort, not too tight. This boot is GREAT!! Put it on right out of the box, wore it around the house for five hours and my feet felt supported but not squished. Thank you Zappos once again. This is the only place to buy shoes!!

Love the Ariat Terrain! Love Ariat shoes! I love Ariat shoes. This boot is wonderful! I stand on my feet for hours and they feel so comfortable even at the end of the day. I normally order wide in other shoes but no need to with Ariat. Room in the toes and support in the sole. I can tighten the laces to keep the shoe securely on. I have heavy ankles but this boot certainly accommodates! No chafing anywhere!
