I am almost impossible to find shoes for. Nothing fits right. Everything about my foot is too skinny. I had been looking for months for a pair of shoes and had been to 15 different shoe stores in just a week and couldn't find anything that was comfortable. I had tried gym shoes and hiking boots. The last place I tried had me try on several different styles of boot, but I would walk right out of them. She found out that none of the boots actually touched my heal or the top of my foot so she ran back and got a pair of these and they were perfect. They actually hugged my foot and didn't slip off. I have the right amount of slip in the heal and my feet went from hurting constantly to not hurting at all. My back and knees don't hurt anymore either. These are the only pair of shoes I own so they are what I wear all of the time. I will be going back to get a second pair.

A relative bought these for me and I was pleasantly surprised- very comfortable, absolutely great for trail riding, and the best part is that I can hop off my horse and go to the grocery store without feeling like I look like I came from the barn. Also great for hiking! Very comfortable, and I have had mine for about a year with no issues with them falling apart; however, I primarily ride in them, waterproofed them when I got them, and tend to avoid slogging through mud in them, so maybe I don't wear them as hard as others. Great boot, especially for the price.

These boots are a great buy. The rugged look is very attractive and they are comfortable too. I went one size smaller and found a good fit. A good Ariat product for a good price.

Love these boots. I have four pairs of Ariat boots and I can't say enough about them. No break in time, lots of compliments and comfortable too!

Wanted to add onto my previous somewhat negative review - without my asking, Ariat exchanged my boots for a brand new pair. Thanks for the excellent service. I was not expecting anything, since I had worn them already, but I got much more. Pleasant surprise from a stand-up company.

I've had these boots for over a year and they're still good as new! They're super comfortable and I use them for riding, going out, and even mucking and they're only covered in dust! Highly recommended boot for anyone looking for a versatile riding boot.

Bought them on vacation and they are my first pair. So glad I got these. They are extremely comfortable and very stylish. I told some other girls about them and they are considering buying some themselves!

I bought these after I took a job caring for the pony ride horses at our local zoo. I am on my feet all day, for 8-9 hours, leading pony rides, cleaning paddocks and caring for the horses. These boots are not only comfortable all day long, but they stand up well to water, getting stepped on and still manage to fit the western theme of the pony area. I love them! My old boots were giving me blisters and runner's toe (bruising under toenail) but these boots don't rub and have a nice roomy toebox. LOVE THEM!!

I have owned the Ariat Fatbaby in black for at least three years. This review is specifically for the black ones. At first I was embarrassed by their wild stitching and clunky rounded toe, and relegated them to the back of the closet for a while. Then something happened. I'm not exactly sure when I "fell in love" but now I wear them everywhere (except maybe the opera). Fatbabys are my go-to footwear for dog walking, rainy days, quick trips to market, apres-mountain biking and around the campsite. They are cute with leggings, jeggings, skinny jeans, and casual skirts. It's so easy; just step in and go. Out of the box I found them soft yet supportive. With wear the comfort factor has increased almost exponentially. They love me too- they must, for they have changed subtly and molded to my feet! Also, my black Fatbabys are so superbly crafted they will surely outlive me. I cannot attest to suitability around the paddock; however, I don't foresee any problems there.

These boots are the perfect classic western boot. They not only look gorgeous, but are also the most comfortable boots I have ever worn!

I have moron's neuroma in my foot. These boots are the only thing I can wear that don't hurt my foot. I love these boots. I loved them so much I bought two more pair. I wear them all the time.

I bought these for Christmas this year. Due to my left food being a little wider than my right had to wear a few hours to get them just right. Now I wear them everywhere, work, church, just to run out to the store. Can't wait to purchase my next pair! Love love the camo. Wore them Friday and everyone at work kept asking me about them and saying they love them... :)

In 2012, I was on the hunt for a pair of cowboy boots. I absolutely LOVE camo so when I found these babies, I just had to get them. I ended up putting these on my Christmas list and got them. These are my first pair of Ariat's so I can't really compare or contrast them to any other of Ariat's boots. What I DO know is that they are extremely comfortable for both riding and daily wear. I wear them to school, church, to go riding. Just about anywhere. I absolutely love them and can't wait to receive my next pair that I got for my birthday this year!

Ordered these in a couple sizes online since I wasn't sure of Ariat's fit and local shops didn't have these styles... wish I could visit the local Ariat HQ, it be like Disneyland to me...though I digress! I ended up with the pair that is a full size less than my regular shoe size (7M) for that perfect snug fit that I can wear with my reg cotton socks, especially since leather does stretch as it breaks in. I love that these fit my big (16.5" calves) with no issues or stretching needed. Recommended these to all my friends who have been inspired to get a pair of their own from my pics and seeing them IRL! I wear them with everything, dresses, jeans - over and tucked in, shorts, EVERYTHING and sometimes nothing. LOL!! I do love them that much. I've worn these for all day events with tons of walking and dancing with no issues whatsoever. Perfect for riding and working in, too! I bought the Sahara's next (less than a year later) and I adore them but they need a little more work to get them to be Legends perfect! :) I do wish Ariats offered leather (non rubber) soles 'cuz a gal just can't slide/shuffle so cute in these, as perfect as they are for the country bars, no slipping on spilled beer/drinks otherwise... Though I think I like best, is supporting a local business and also a friend's mom who works for them, too! Great company, great gear! Thank you, Ariat!! :D

I can't say enough good about these boots! Love how comfortable they are and I'm a bit surprised at that because I've had 4 different kinds of boots before, but it's a great surprise at just how comfortable Fat Babys are! They were tight for the first 20 minutes of wear then not even noticeable after that. Love the color, love the feel, love these boots! Very pleased!

I just got these and i LOVE them they are so comfy and they look great! The holes on the side are great to help me put them on and the toe and heel are very hard so if i get stepped on by a horse i'll be covered. Thank You Ariat for making these boots!

I bought these because when I go to rodeos and horseback riding I see them all the time. Now, I know why they are so comfortable and they are stylish where I have worn them to school and everyone asks me where I got them. I would definitely order more of these. Only thing is the shoe size at least in the style I got was to big I had to get a whole size smaller

I have owned my pair of Fatbaby's for 3 years now and they are fantastic. I can wear them with my skinny jeans tucked in to show off the style or I can wear my bootcut jeans over the top with no problem. They slide right on with NO problems at all, I practically jump right in them, I wear them almost constantly all winter (in Wisconsin) so they are not pampered and the sole is just now starting to show a little bit of wear. Anywhere I go with these I almost always get compliments! These are high quality, very comfortable boots that are worth every penny. I would get the black pair as well if the stitching wasn't purple (I have no purple in my wardrobe), I have the brown with gold and turquoise stitching, which in the photo looks a little harsh, but is much more beautiful in person. Can you tell I LOVE these boots? Maybe I should buy another pair....
