Great comfort and functionality. Bought them to replace my tactical boots that I wear working on the ambulance. Have never had an issue with traction and seem to be very well designed and well made. Sized wide but are just slightly narrower than I would like.

Boot construction seems excellent. B width still not narrow enough in heel. After serious break-in the 'loose heel fit' hopefully will resolve itself. Overall, I am pleased with the boots and would recommend them to anyone with a narrow foot.

I bought these to replace and older pair of Ariat's I had. I use these for the horse barn, ride in them, muck stalls, any other chore at the barn. I really like them, they are soft and supple. My only compliant is that they run small. I am a true size 10 and I had to end up purchasing a size 11. I do not understand but glad I went to a local dealer and tried them on first. I have had them for a few months and they are holding up real well. I did buy waterproof stuff and put them on it just in case. My last boots were destroyed because I did not apply the waterproof stuff.

A handsome simple design but for me the heel area was a little too loose and I had too much heel lift. THe C width was great for me. Ordered true to size.

I've had a pair of these boots for about 20 years. The pair I've had are what is shown in the picture on the website. I would describe them as "slightly darkened natural leather." I wanted to replace what I had with the same boots. There were only two choices, so - going by the pictures - I selected the one that looked like the boots I had. What I received looks nothing like the picture, but is consistent with the description "Distressed Brown." I'm okay with the color and will keep the boots, but other buyers should be aware that if they select the Distressed Brown boot, it will NOT look like the picture. It is more of a milk chocolate or chocolate brown. Seems like an easy fix on Ariat's part... just take a picture of the current Distressed Brown boot and swap it with the one being used! This is a very good boot. It's both comfortable and rugged. I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of the first pair, and expect the same from the second. I did put a pair of Dr. Scholl's insoles in them to take the comfort up a notch, and expect to do the same with the new ones.

The Heritage Stockman boot was my go to boot for years, but now they've discontinued it apparently. So sad! I really liked it better than this one, style and fit-wise. I guess this one will have to do, until I find something better. And, what is the deal with all of the square toe styles? Am I the only one that prefers an almond/round toe in a roper style?

My husband loved the boots. The Only issue was he went to put them on (the first time mind you) and the boot strap broke. He had not even worn them once. But he still loves them and said the fit was perfect! I was just sad that they didn't even hold up for the first time placing his foot in the boot.

I found the sizing off maybe by 1/2. I’m going to add some rear sole extensions I found on Amazon. With dress socks they’re nearly a decent fit. Leather is good, build is good, soles are good. Keep in mind cowboy style boots need a lot of time to break in so don’t expect them to be like a pair of Skechers. Walk in them a LOT - don’t sit around in them. Pilot recommended!

This is a great boot overall. It is stiff and takes some time to break in. I ordered a wide and it's not that wide. The leather overall is quite stiff. I've been wearing it almost every day for the last 10 days and it's still not broken in yet. If you have wide feet the C width is not very wide. And, I like the boot.

First, I ordered an 8 C (wide)! WHY is this one of the very few women's footwear items that is available in a wide!?!?! This boot fits so perfect that all I have to do is step into them like loafers and wear them all day long!!! Only 4 stars because no where on the website describing the finish does it say whether or not these boots are water proof!! They should be. Also, the finish is "designed" to scratch!! (RME) Seriously?? Boots, especially work boots, scratch and get distressed naturally!! (RME again). I will definitely buy Ariat boots again. This is pair #8 in my eclectic collection of boots!!

These were my first western boot purchase after years of field and paddock boots in the jumper world. I purchased both these and the Round-Up Bermuda's to compare and these were a million times better looking! The biggest issue I have is the fit between the two boots. My right foot is ~slightly~ larger than my left so one shoe is always a tiny bit snugger, but generally unnoticeable. I normally wear a W 6.5 or 7 and always a 6.5 in Ariat boots. Oddly enough, the right boot of these is incredibly comfortable with just enough room, but the left is horribly tight, even painful, to put on even after a couple weeks. If anything, it should be the other way around. I actually exchanged my first pair because of this and it's the same thing in the new ones! Super odd since I haven't seen any others with the same experience... They're very nice to look at though, I'm curious how they will hold up seeing as they get marked-up very easily.

I bought them online, received and started wearing them. The size is between too wide and true to size, I hesitated to send them back and regret I did not order 2 sizes to send back the one that does not fit but finally kept them. I love their simple sturdy look, but I wonder how to protect them as there are no indication and they seem to be stained or scratches easily which is not what I expect from sturdy boots. Should I waterproof spray them?

Have had boots about 2 weeks. Extremely comfortable. Only problem encountered is the inside seam on right boot rubs inside of ankle. Another pair of Ariat rompers does the same thing. Great as long as I remember to put band aid on ankle.

I love these boots. I needed a cowboy boot which looked great but could withstand the vigors of ranch work. This boot is great in pastures, in dirt, on the road and climbing up and down old barn frames. These are comfortable and mould immediately. Breaking in took two days and then no blisters. The scuffs rub out and the sole is great for work. Downside is getting the things on over the reinforced heel. Still using boot pulls or plastic grocery bags but we're getting there!

Bought these boots to wear while motorcycling and general knock around wear. After a few hours of wear my feet were killing me. I replaced the insoles with Dr Scholls gel sport insoles and they're like a different pair of boots. I think Ariat should include a better insole,this is a major deficiency on a otherwise nice boot.

This is the first time I've purchased western style boots. I have not been disappointed. These boots are very comfortable but also very rugged.

This is my first pair of ropers, had over a dozen pair of "cowboy boots"that I've worn over the last nearly 2 decades. Also my first pair of Ariat. I'm now planning my next purchase, I'm thinking the Ariat distressed ropers.

I work on guest ranch, so I bought this for everyday use. It is very comfortable and a great height for someone short like me (I'm 5'1). It broke in after one day of wearing it and is a touch loose, but still looks and feels good.

I purchased these boots 2 years ago, I couldn't be happier. They hold up to all kinds of activity and they polish up well no matter how I abuse them.

Good overall dress boot or casual. Vintage style in traditional roper style. I like the non-leather sole to keep from slipping.

Between my husband and I we have bought oh about 6 pair of these boots. The earliest prior to 2002. I still have a pair from say 2006 and I measured the 7 1/2EE from then to the pair I bought a few years ago. The bottom sole is 1/4 in. smaller on the newer boot. Compared to my husbands newer model 8EE and the old 7 1/2 EE was also bigger. So they are cutting corners in my opinion. I didn't wear the newer pair cuz I thought they were too tight. So I finally started wearing them..they stretched out pretty quick. I love them now and maybe want another pair. Neither one of us have EVER had a problem with them leaking..we are rancher/farmer folks and brutalize our footwear. That is an issue If around animals It is important to occasionally treat the uppers with a good oil Otherwise it cracks and wears out long before the sole does. Also my husband wears his boots 7 days a week all year long.
