Wow! I have never worn cowboy boots before, but these won me over and I ordered them. Good move! They fit absolutely true to size, are totally comfortable, and the orchid lining blew me away! Total fun! I completely thank that lady in my Bible study class with all the great cowboy boots that were making me so envious! I will be back for more Ariats. That is the truth.

I put them on and wore them to Sturgis, every day for a week straight. Great for motorcycle riding, walking for hours, and look great, too. I used a thick white sport sock...comfy. I want another pair in another color.

These run big, but are so cute and I work in Kuwait so lots of rocks and sand etc. These boots are great for that. They are so cute that of course I have been asked where I got them and I send them to Zappos. One of my friends already got hers and she loves them, too.

Fat Baby isn't very fat -
I love the look of these boots and they feel pretty good, but I have wide feet and they are a bit snug across the forefoot.

These are really cute, but something about Ariat boots and my inside ankle do not get along. Like the Showbaby, these rubbed my inside ankle, and walking around for 15 minutes inside was uncomfortable. I even started to develop a red sore on my left ankle. These have to go back. I think they're too narrow in the ankle for me, which is weird because I'm a skinny girl. I will try Justin's next.

The boot is taller than I expected by about two inches. Comfortable for about 5 hours standing and walking around.

I was disappointed in this item. I have Ariat paddock boots (I am a rider) and was disappointed in the overall quality of the Fatbaby - not the same quality. Leather was poor quality. The concept of a "western fashion boot" is there but more follow-through on quality is needed. Size was a bit snug.

These are very comfortable high quality boots with great rubber soles. I like the texture and can't wait to get them dirty. 10/10 would highly recommend!

I have had these almost a year now. There was no breaking in period and they are super comfortable. I had to stand for 10 minutes in almost ankle deep water, to convince my noble steed that I wasn't dragging her to her death in a stream of lava. She finally crossed and my feet were dry as can be. Water, ankle deep muck, no problem, the best purchase I have made :)

These Fatbaby Sheila "brown bombers" are still my fav go-to boots, even after several years of hard work. Perfect for farm and barn, they multi-task nicely, and even look good on a casual night out. The bomber leather has held up well, getting softer and more weathered each year - and the pink stitching still looks pretty. Fit (7.5) was great straight from box, and they mold to fit perfectly. I have both Justin and Ariat boots, and prefer the Ariat fit, as they seem to be less clunky & with better arch support.

I love these boots! They are cute, stylish, and comfortable in true Ariat fashion. They're flat-ish on the bottom, though.

These have great support. I have ankle issues and find it hard to find shoes that are comfortable and supportive. I can wear these all day and my feet don't hurt. I wear them as casual shoes. I did order a 1/2 size larger (9 1/2) and they fit perfect. I normally wear a 9.

Love them! So comfortable! I have a high instep and boots that fit are hard to find. These are a dream.

Absolutely love my boots. Most comfortable boot ever. Only problem is, I need taller socks. The pulls on them are a little rough on bare skin.

Cute, "funky" style. Haven't gotten to wear on an all day outing, but so far very comfortable. I ordered a half size smaller than usual and fits great.

Cute and comfortable boots. As with pretty much all Ariat shoes I've had, there was virtually no "break in" time. One of my friends who has the same shoe size as me tried them on, too, and was pleasantly surprised her foot would go in since she has a high arch.

I just received these boots after ordering them yesterday. I have to say, my purchase was heavily influenced by the positive reviews on the site. They are on my feet as I type, and I have to say they are the most comfortable boots upon first wearing that I have ever purchased. Trust me. I am a self-admitted boot-a-holic, so I know. I wear everything from combat boots to high fashion boots, and these are going to be my favorite pair for general all around use!

I learned about these boots from a coworker and she brought hers in for me to try on. She had had foot surgery and raved about the comfort. I wanted a pair of comfy girly, rider tough boots with a low heel to wear on the motorcycle. Wore them to Rolling Thunder in D.C. this year (2010) all day and no blisters, no pain and alot of compliments and questions from other riders. True to size, tried them on after a full day on my feet, swollen ankles and all. No problem.

These boots are the cutest ever with the possible exception of my Justin Gypsies that I also purchased from Zappos. I have had a lot of trouble finding pull-on boots that work for me due to an extremely high instep. I wear a size 10 and often the shoes I buy in medium width are very tight at first, but the fit felt great right out of the box. The comfort range of four stars is due to the arch support. For me it is moderate, because I have an extremely high arch, but it would probably be perfect for people who don't have that particular issue. The toe box leaves plenty of room, which is also something that I appreciate. Having a size 10 foot like me, wearing a boot that makes your foot look like a six or seven is a definite plus!

These boots are great! They are so comfortable and fit perfect. I have wide feet and boots are often to tight. I am a fan for life. I have a pair of Fryes that hurt my toes after about an hour. These Fatbaby boots rock.

Absolutely love them. I read a review that something like the first time i put them on felt like I had been wearing them forever. This could not be more true. Plus they are absolutely beautiful. I get lots of compliments. Don't need to wait for them to stretch before they feel good.

These are the cutest, most comfortable pair of cowgirl boots I have ever owned. I have one tiny complaint: the lable on the inside is really rough and scratches my leg if I'm not wearing tall socks and has ruined two pairs of leggings. I fixed it with some cloth tape, but if you get a pair, be aware of this issue. Other than that, I get compliments every where I wear them and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. They feel like tennis shoes in the foot bed. And since the toes aren't pointy, the toe bed has plenty of wiggle room. No sacrificing comfort for style this time!
