Nice shoes but hit right at the top of the ankles and they rub so it is uncomfortable. I'm sure they will break in, in time.

They fit my foot good but the top part is to wide. I never wore boots before but I would like the leg part a little snug

Comfort is the number one reason I bought these boots, but be assured they look just as good! The size 8 ran true to size and took very little breaking in to become my new favorites.

My second pair of these boots. Great boot for casual wear, hitting the streets or hiking. Only issue, these boots are not ideal for all terrains. Not ideal for wet, or slick surfaces.

Very comfortable for those on their feet all day. The lacing system needs improvement; the lacing tends to loosen up and it is hard to keep the top from getting too loose.

They're a little tight across the top of my right foot. Hopefully it'll get better as they get broken in.

The fit is snug. I'd get a half size up at least. Maybe even a whole size if you intend to wear thick socks.

I've had 3 pairs of these boots. The style, comfort and being fairly waterproof have made these my favorite by far. My only complaint would be the stitching separates especially around the black trim guards on the front sides. Even my local tack shop was surprised to see this. I'll still buy another pair, I like riding in them. Their soles far outlast the timberland boot.

These shoes run very large. Had to return original order for smaller size. Color is much darker than shown in most pictures and from what I've seen in person.

I ordered the distressed brown which shows the lighter color boot, which is what I wanted. When I received the boot it was indeed the darker brown boot. Please correct the pictures of your boots. They are not right. I will reorder, but now I've lost my 10% first order discount. Booo....

Love these boots and have owned a few pairs. But these were too narrow for my feet.

Overall very happy with these. My last pair bit the dust after 10 years of hard wear and tear. Hoping to get the same amount of miles from these. Love the leopard print! Only complaint is that the insoles are not nearly are comfortable as my previous pair when they were new. I ordered a size 8 which is my normal and they were a little loose. Will fit perfect with thick socks in the winter though

Works great for a summer riding boot, not too hot to wear. Didn't realize when I ordered that the boot shaft is a fake suede. It is wearing off already after about 6 rides so don't hold out much hope for longevity.

I bought these a few years ago and they are rock solid. These are my 'go to' work boot for all my work around the property. I have worn them for countless hours. Took a bit for me to break them in (hence the 4 stars which is more like 4.5) as I have a somewhat narrow heel and I ware them for many hours. Now well broken in I ware them extensively. Waterproofing is very good. In Colorado we get snow...and mud. My feet are always dry in these. And, they are tough! Days of abuse and miss swings with a high RPM weed wacker hitting the boot and not one cut....heck not even a lasting mark. Tough as nails. I use mink oil once a year and these puppies are going to last for a decade or more. Comfort, waterproof, TOUGH, and at very good price. If you are looking for a boot like this...just buy them now.

These are the only boots I've found that work for both riding and hiking - great all-around boots that are also waterproof. I trail ride and they're perfect with half chaps (I don't use the Ariat ones, because they're a bit of overkill for me and I have thick calves - though they do look great with the boots).
I just got my second pair. First pair I've had for 4 years of off-and-on use; got the second for a trip to Iceland for riding, where you can't bring used leather gear to ride in. They fit exactly the same as the old ones did - these days that's unusual because many companies switch suppliers and often the fit or quality is different.
The only thing I want to warn people, they do stretch in width over time. You can even see that in the photo. I have normal-width feet and wear thick hiking socks, so it doesn't bother me much, but if you already have narrow feet, you might want to look for something else.

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...
