Customer Reviews Ariat Terrain

You don't know your size. I can only conclude that Ariat does not cross-check their size guidelines when it comes to this particular make of boot, as the size charts (US/UK/EU) do not correspond with the print-out measuring plate. I generally wear a women's 10, and the print-out plate indicated that I should give that a try. Got the 10 in the mail, MASSIVE toe box gave me more than an inch of toe room. Alright, no problem--returned, ordered a pair of 9.5. Almost an inch of toe room. Huh. Ordered the 9s. Toes feel packed in. Moral: do not assume when trying on several pairs of these that the toe room decreases in a linear fashion. Ultimately, as a true women's 10 in every other brand, the 9s were the correct length for my foot, but the break/flex on these boots convinced me to keep the 9.5. Hopefully I will not rue that decision as the ankles loosen (although the laces give me some hope that these will remain usable for quite a while). These, unfortunately, may be a "only buy if you can buy in store" product. They definitely run large. Ignore their sizing chart and subtract a half-size from your sneaker size to get started. And cultivate a good relationship with your local UPS store. At least Ariat's return policy allows some trial and error. Good news--I ended up ordering two different colors in pursuit of the correct size. The photos online are color accurate--the Cordovans are particularly beautiful.

I got these a little over a year ago, and they have held up pretty well for an everyday boot. The break in time took a while, however after a week or two they fit well. The leather is solid, and definitely waterproof. It still holds up well. One caveat with these boots is the fake leather in the front, this material started ripping and breaking down after a few months. If you are looking for a casual every day boot for a reasonable price you can't go wrong with these. If you are working in a field that requires a lot of leg work in harsh conditions, I would go with something more sturdy and rugged.

First of all, I really like these boots. I've only had them for about two months, but I am generally hard on boots. I do a lot of field work in various types of terrain including uplands, swamps, pastures, etc. This is not hiking on a trail, but going in the roughest areas of any property. I got a stress fracture in my right foot last year (wearing different boots), so I looked to find something this year that leaned a bit more towards comfort than utility. I've worn these boots through streams and swamps, horse pastures, upland forests, coastal habitats, and climbing boulders. These definitely hit the mark on comfort as I've had no issues with my feet since switching to these boots. This boot would be perfect if you are looking for a good all around hiking boot. However, I would make a couple of minor changes for my own purposes. The boots have done a good job of keeping the water out until... you overtop them. I've got 15" rubber boots and hip waders for my wettest work, but it would be great to see these in an 8" boot to add a little more utility. The outsoles provide decent traction on dry surfaces, but slip easily in wet or muddy conditions. I little bit more aggressive tread for a hiking boot would be a big improvement. I would not go as far as to say that these are the perfect compromise between comfort and utility, but they are not far off. I would say these run true to size, but different from my Ariat western boots. I wear an 11.5 on western boots, but an 11 in these (and most everything else).

I've owned several pair of Ariat Terrain boots over the years. My wife also. My recent pair though, seem a bit more stiff than usual. I've had them for over a year and condition them with our saddle soap regularly. Not sure what is up with that. Also the quality of their shoe strings has gone downhill. I have an old pair that still have the original strings and get abused in mud and wet conditions... they're still good. My new pair the strings have already frayed and broken their outer lining. On the hunt for a new set already...

Hi everyone I want these boots but don't know my size? I usually wear size 7 shoes

I am on my 3rd pair of these. I love them! They go with just about everything! Dress or casual.

I was recommended these shoes when I was looking for a great winter boot for playing disc golf in the cold winter months and sloppy spring. Need to wear thick socks with them cause my feet are pretty narrow which is not a problem by me cause I love wool socks. Happy with the water proof aspect but I still get snow in them and my feet get wet but I don't think it's cause of the boot just the deep snow. I also have plantar fasciitis and they are nice a supportive so I'm in less pain.

I bought the boots and matching chaps for occasional riding - perfect. I took them out for a short hike - blisters even with Smartwool insulation socks on. Ok, I deserved that... Broke them in - hours of heavy gardening with or without socks and they're FLAWLESSLY COMFY. BUT... The soles on both pairs started peeling off - WTH? Guerilla glue with rubber bands until fully dry as a last resort. It worked! - but these were rarely worn and not ever in wet conditions. So why the poor craftsmanship on the soles? Despite all that I will buy again, no one else makes an upper so comfortable once broken in.

I love these boots. They are very good quality for the price. I ordered 7B and although I have a wide foot they are very comfortable and wide enough for some heavy socks.

I bought this boot about a month ago, went by the size of my Fatboy boots and these were too small. No problem though! I returned the boots and reordered a half size larger. they fit good and I wear them to work on a regular basis. The Fatbaby is not quite as tall in the arch area but still fits good.

It's a good Cowboy Boot. I wish they sold all the accessories. Like cedar boot trees and most importantly some kind of cleaner/conditioner, polish, and water proofer. They give a brief recommendation in their "FAQ" but I know some store include it with the boots.

I purchased a pair several years ago and quickly had three pairs of these. They have lasted more than three years with daily use in dirt, mud, and miles of uneven walking. I would recommend them for an everyday boot.

I'm a 6.5 in Ariat tall boots (for English riding) but these are too big, and I almost sprained my foot. Exchanging them! I'm sure a half size lower should be good.I don't know why these are big on me, it seems like they're the right size for everyone else. Maybe my feet shrunk?? Lol. I know people get shorter as they grow older, but I'm not **THAT** much older since I bought my tall boots. I love Ariat so much though, so it must be a fluke. Hopefully I can exchange them.

We bought these months ago and now would like another pair. Size 13 Width EE. Could you let me know when they might be available again?

I've had my Ariat boots for about 4-5 years now and have taken them hiking all over the US. There are lots of things I love about these boots, but there are a few things I've learned over the years that have helped me to get the most use out of them as well. 1. They are great for protecting your toes and supporting your ankles. I am so clumsy and stub my toe on everything. I also have terribly weak ankles and roll them often, but love challenging hikes. These boots always ensure that I never have to worry about either of those things. They are super tough and give great support and *knock on wood* haven't hurt my feet or my ankles yet because of them. 2. With that said, they are such good quality. As I previously mentioned, I've had mine for awhile now and they are just as sturdy/stiff as when I first bought them. I've put them through some serious hell, so these boots are long-lasting. Have yet to have any problems with ripping, tearing, or fraying. Even the shoelaces look as perfect as when I first got them. 3. They're so stylish. Maybe that doesn't matter to some, but they are easy to clean and look good with literally any gear. I always feel confident and prepared in these bad boys. 4. The options with a leather upper have very little breathability. This just means that your feet will sweat more and you will be more likely to get blisters. At first, I thought the blistering was due to having to wear in the boots, but later realized it's just a lack of air flow. To make up for this, I use sock liners and blister covers and I don't have any problems. For this reason alone, I am SO glad I did not purchase the waterproof version. I can only imagine how stifling those things can get. 5. Another thing I've noticed is that the shoelaces become loose pretty easily. I would probably recommend getting a better set of laces, as loosening shoelaces can also cause some blistering when hiking. 6. Something other people have noted the lack of traction on these boots. I think the most important point is that the tread on these boots is not made for every single type of terrain. For example, I love taking these out in the rain on trails that have sticky mud or grippy surfaces. I would not, however, take these on trails that have a lot of loose rock or gravel, rain or shine, as it will be more likely for you to slip due to lack of traction. I think this is overall a small inconvenience as I do not expect one pair of shoes to get me through every sort of terrain. I can typically wear these boots for about 80% of my hiking activities, and that's good enough for me. Overall, I have absolutely loved these boots. They've taken me to some pretty cool places. Hopefully I won't be needing to buy a new pair anytime soon, but, if I did, I would definitely purchase these same exact boots a second time.

Have worn Ariat terrain boots for many, many, years. I really like them. However, I would rather have these boots in a zip up style. Last two pair I purchased were zip and prefer them over the tie boots. These were true to size and arrived very quicky. What happened to the zip style?

Comfortable, durable, quality boot. I wear these daily for work where I can be walking up to 12 miles per day. They have held up remarkably.

I needed a boot for this fall and really liked the look of this one and the glowing reviews it got, especially the short break in time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some heal rubbing and dont know what to do to help it. Any ideas?

Still, they are advertised as made to last, and they do not. I have had many pairs of them, and each pair lasted no more than one year, as the sole in front separates from the shoe. No amount of glue can get it then to stay affixed. Also, one would think that it is possible to supply shoe laces which stay tied. Other boots can do so, but with Ariat, after a short period of time, they simply will not stay tied without double knotting them, and eventually the ends fray and it is have to put them through the holes.

I love these boots, although I really wish you still made the zipper ones. So much easier at the barn with zippers. I've been buying Ariat's for years and have never had a complaint until the last boots I purchased. They were a waterproof pro boot that came up higher on the ankle.....they didn't last as long as previous purchases. The zipper totally broke and the leather split. I notice you no longer offer that boot. Thank Goodness!!

Got these for working around the barn, on my feet for a few hours at a time made my feet ache in the paddock boots I was wearing. I did have to buy some wick away moisture socks to make them super comfy but my feet don't ache anymore. They are true to size!

The color and stitching is beautiful. The height is perfect. Much nicer leather than Justin. Hope they wear well.

I am on my third round of these. I ride in them multiple times a week stomp in the mud and walk around town. My only reason for not giving a 5 star- the cushioning would be improved, when I try other Ariat boots the cushion is much softer and more supportive.

They were so comfy, lightweight and comfortable. a little darker than the photo online but very pretty. I returned them because the back of the heel area had a scratch and looked like glue was on there. Customer service was nice on the phone and they emailed me a free return shipping label. I will be re ordering another pair because I loved them. But I was being picky with the quality.

My first ariat boot purchase and I am very satisfied. These are super lightweight and comfortable. The color seems a bit darker than what is shown on the website. Overall I really like them.
