Customer Reviews Ariat Santa Cruz Mule

Loved the look and overall comfort of these shoes. I've worn them at work (nursing) day in and day out also on vacation. One thing I found with the mule heel-bed is that the slight rim on the mules tore my socks to shreds and really caused lots of callous build up on the skin of my heels. I wish they just had a plain, flat, heel-bed instead of that slight raised rim. When they first were new, I found myself hammering away at the heel rims to try to soften and flatten them a bit so they wouldn't ruin my socks.

I love this shoe - I have four pairs of Ariat shoes, three clogs and one pair of boots. I love them. They are true to size, comfortable, and they last. I am very hard on my shoes, these hold up really well. I stand and do a lot of walking in them and they are very comfortable.

What I love about Ariat brand is there is no break in period and these shoes were no different. They fit perfectly with great support and I had no break in period whatsoever!

Great work shoes. I'm a nurse in a very busy unit and am on my feet for ten hours a day. Finding the best shoes has been a trial. I had purchased a pair of Arait for dress and found them very comfortable so I got another pair for work. Best decision I ever made!

Problem with strap attachment - I absolutely love this shoe and wore it for 3 months until the rivet holding the strap on started to loosen and then finally broke. Contacted Ariat and was told to bring it back to the retailer to either get an exchange or credit. Will try the Santa Cruz clog instead!

These shoes are really nicely made, but alas to big. So, sadly I am returning them

Loved the shoe but no arch support. Had to return

Like my shoes - They came in 2 days and fit perfectly (I had a pair before).

Comfortable and good-looking.

I sized up and a little too big but it works and they are so comfortable at such a great price they are keepers! I basically never take them off.

These shoes are great; comfortable and true to size. The leather is gorgeous and sturdy. The shoes are leather lined and feel good even with sockless feet.

I love Ariat shoes and this is no exception. Wore them right out of the box to work (I work as a nurse) and they are very comfortable and look great too. Love the heel height and arch support.

I am at times a 7 1/2 and at others an 8. This particular shoe runs a little big and so I'll need a 7 1/2. It's an attractive shoe!

Nicely made shoes, but clunkier than I was looking for. Made my size 8 feet look very big.

More comfortable than Dansko because of strap - I tried these clogs because they had a strap which could be used to hold the foot in. I have stenosis so I need a well padded shoe. These fit the bill. I also have a high arch. Unfortunately, the last pair I ordered was a little tight across the top but I have ordered another pair. I am sure that was a fluke. Comfortable to walk in all day.

Soo Comfortable - This is my second pair of Ariat Mules (Clogs). I have always had a problem with getting a comfortable pair of shoes that is until now. The width and shape are great; the arch support is enough for someone like me -- slightly flat-footed, overpronator; the weight of the shoe is not so heavy as to make my legs weary; and the soles absorb impact so well, that I can walk on concrete for hours and have no back pain. The leather of the shoe is soft enough to feel broken in the first time that they are worn, but are thick enough to hold up over time and still look good. The moveable sling-back is a great idea and works very well. If you are considering a new mule, you can't go wrong with this one.

I love this shoe - I had a much older pair of Ariat's that I loved and wore out. They lasted for years! I was so excited when I found these. I plan on buying them in both colors. Love, Love, Love these shoes. Classic and comfortable! Look great with jeans or can be dressy!

My second pair - I purchased these shoes to replace the Ariat Mule's I bought 10 years ago. They are a bit different in that my previous pair had a tapered toe which gave them more of a boot look. But these are fine and just as comfortable as my old ones! I love the sling back because I can swing it around my heel when I need to chase after my five year old, I place it forward for a stylish look. I recommend these shoes for comfort, durability and stylish appearance.

Love it all! Love the shoes, love that they arrived 2 days after ordering without paying extra, love the whole deal. Would definitely order from Zappos again. I know this review is supposed to be about the shoes, but I am just so impressed with this website! The shoes are perfect -- they fit great and are very comfortable with just enough heel height. Get 'em and get em here.

If You have bad feet Ariat is a must! I have orderd so many shoes from Zappos. I have plantar faciatis and Morton Neuroma. These are fantastic! Also they have such a fantastic return service. If you are looking for comfort with some height you must try!

Really nice clogs - They are very comfortable and can wear them all day at work. They look great too.

Very Comfortable - As I read in the reviews that prompted me to buy this shoe - it was very very comfortable. I wore them for the first time and had them on all day while teaching. They were great!!!
