Customer Reviews Ariat Heritage Roper

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!! (Smiley face)

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 have a pair of each color. Comfortable all day and look great with Jeans.

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.

First I would like to say I have many pairs of boots Ariats and other name brands I wear boots everyday of my life to school, work, around the house, in the pasture and even grocery shopping and normally I purchase square toe boots but I decided to buy these round toe working boots in hopes they would be more effective for my everyday wear. I purchased the brown distressed Heritage Roper boots size 7.5C about two months ago, and just like any boot I have ever owned I had to do some breaking in; the boot was extremely uncomfortable at first to where they were unbearable to wear at times. I own another pair of Ariat's that have a square toe and more for causal wear not for work and I can honestly say I do not remember them hurting so bad to break in while wearing them. After about a week the boot started to feel more comfortable but the heel is somewhat loose this does not cause me discomfort but I know boots are made to fit snug. Overall I love the look of the boot, the material, the width and the comfort and I would purchase them again I wear them everyday and I have already put them through a lot so they seem to be withstanding well.

I was given these about four years ago, I have worn them three days a week at least three months throughout the summer every year, as well as sporadically throughout the rest of the year, in rain, manure, mud, extreme heat. Just this last year they've started to break down slightly on the inside, but only the lining, the rest is still top notch. The reason I give this boot four stars instead of five is just that I think they could be slightly more comfortable, the sole becomes a bit hard after walking in them for a few hours.

They are good boots I've been wearing them for a better part of a year now. They are comfortable to walk most places in, they hold up well whenhiking,theylook good enoughforalmost every day wear, good bootsfor the price. Thanks for your time

I have worn the Heritage Roper boots since 2005. These boots were made in Indonesia and my fit was 11.5 W. I have tried to purchase the same boots that are made in Vietnam and the size is not consistent. The 11.5 boots were too large, the 11.0 boots were a little too large, and the 10.5 boots were really odd. The right boot fit properly, but the left boot was so small I couldn't get my foot into the foot box. I'll keep trying, but I can no longer order on-line.
