Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby

I bought these 3 months ago. I had to get arch supports to put inside because these boots would kill my feet after hikes. And these boots were made for trailing and not for hiking, because I would slip climbing up a hill and onto rocks.

I ordered my normal size and they were huge so I exchanged them for a full size smaller. Once I got the correct size they seemed to fit great. These were great for hiking and were comfy at first but almost immediately rubbed huge blisters on my heels and sides of my feet. They fit snuggly and I was wearing thick socks with Band-Aids so I don't think they should have rubbed as much as they did. Not sure I will be able to wear them again if they are going to always rub this badly...

I have enjoyed this shoe for years...you changed the footbed....not nearly as comfortable as before...

These boots look and feel nice. I can wear them all day with no problem. My only issue is that one boot fits differently than the other. I have had other boots and I know my feet are not different in size.

I bought these in a 10D a month ago and have been happy with them. I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 in shoes, but the ones I tried on in store were WAY too big. So I went with a 10D in these. I thought with time the slipping on my heels would stop once they got broken in, but it's actually gotten worse. My left boot fits pretty well and is snug across the instep. My right boot is snug across the instep when I first put them on, but throughout the day they stretch and I can almost walk out of my right one. I don't know how to fix this issue, I couldn't get my foot into a 9.5 and the ball of my foot falls within the widest part of the boot.

Purchased the water proof boots before and no problem. This time, they are not extra wide (which I need for 1 horrible bunion on my foot). Boots say, extra wide but, I would have to challenge that. Otherwise I have NO problems with these boots.

I had a pair of original Fat Baby's for over 10 years. The new pair I have just isn't as comfortable and I hate they aren't leather on the inside anymore. Don't get hay, foxtails or anything else in your boot or it gets stuck. At least I still have my brow originals.

Some people have big feet Expand your sizes to at least a 12

Never thought I would own a real pair of "cowgirl" boots because of those pointed toes. These fatboys are perfect...no pointed toes and the fix is amazing! Love these!

Did not receive the color i ordered, and this boot is not as comfortable out of the box like the boots In the last

I bought these in June of 2019. I wore them everyday and they are comfortable but not as durable as I had hoped. It's now August and they are falling apart unfortunately and no longer waterproof. They are great for light usage but not everyday farmwork.

I was so excited to have a fresh pair of Ariats - my old ones are 15+ years old! These seemed to fit the bill and I wore them for about a year. I finally had to give up on them because they stretched out so much that I had to wear two pairs of socks with them and they still were loose! Rather disappointing, especially since I've had 5 other pairs of Ariats over the years that worked out well.

I bought these last year thinking they would stretch but I cant wear them they are brand new, they just wouldn't stretch to be comfortable I bought a 8 wide they a great, but it was after the time that I can return them so I have a brand new pair sitting in my closet. I emailed and nobody contacted me I just want to exchange

received these 3 days ago. bought the hombre red. It is more of a brown with a little red hue. toe is very tight. i always by a "B" width in my Ariat boots but find these almost too tight to wear.. Would not recommend if you have a slightly wide foot. narrower than most "B". I may have to return

Great boot except for color. They are very comfortable, but are not really black, rather a weird shade of blue. "Distressing" looks a bit like mildew.

I've owned these for few years and the boots are still in excellent shape all around except for the pink lining which is peeling, flaking and making a general mess every time I remove my boot. I have another pair of Fatbabys that also have a colored lining and it is sealed and flat like the day I bought them. Maybe I just got a defective pair? These boots are the most comfortable shoes I own but I only wear them around the house and for outside work now because of the mess.

I bought these about 9 months ago and the tred is almost completely worn off. I'm hard on boots, but I expected more from them since I've been purchasing from Ariat for years. They are nice on the eyes but I wouldn't reccommend them for barn work.

Bought a pair about 2.5 years ago and they had not much tread on the sole brand new. They got decent traction but I found myself sliding on gravel when walking on pavement and forget wet weather traction unless you are walking on very clean flat concrete. After about a year the soles are smooth as butter so no traction in wet grass or mud or really anything. Very comfortable boot however, I swap the insoles for some gel ones which helped I'm sure but the soft flexible uppers on the boot make them extremely comfortable.

Boots run small so order a half size longer than what you normally wear. Cute boots though.

Love the boots and the way they look. Fit was a bit snugger than the last pair I bought a few years back. Had to go up a half size. Hopefully when they get broke in they will live up to the fatbaby name and widen out like my last pair.

I was given these as a gift, and unfortunately they don't fit. I have a wide forefoot but generally a low volume foot and skinny ankles. I am usually a US mens 12, and I got the 12 EEWide. the toe box is perfectly wide enough, but the heel is so wide my foot just slides around in the boot. Maybe if I got a US11 EEWide they would fit better. I have tried a few different ways to keep my heel down,but since the majority of the boot is pliable leather, they have been unsuccessful. If not for the giant heel pocket, these would be great boots for both casual and outdoor rec/work. 10/10 style and comfort 5/10 for personal fit.

I tried them on and with the waterproofing it was too narrow. I have a previous pair that is really getting worn out.....many years... and that pair was fine

I bought these boots last summer in teal. I love the color. It's vibrant and I get compliments often. However, the boots fit extremely tight across the top - so much so that I have to urge myself to wear them more often. I have 4 pairs of Ariats and I love them all except for this one. They are always super comfortable from the start with no need to "break them in" except for this pair. Slowly over time they seem to be getting a little better and stretching out more so they're not so uncomfortable but it's been a long time coming.
