Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby

I ordered wide feet and wide calf. My calves aren't necessarily that big, but I like to have room. But I di have wide feet. These are not wide. No way. I struggled, and I mean it, to get in. The space in the neck of the boot is too narrow for me to allow my foot to go in with my ankle still trying to go in. Not sure how to explains, so I hope it makes sense. I managed to go in. Buy then it eas compressing my foot at the top, but extremely loose on my calves. I thought these would be perfect. Well not for me. Returning and still looking.

I had a pair of these and it took mu hours longer go break in then any other pair of footwear I have ever owned. On top of that the soles became unglued in a matter of two months.

I normally LOVE Ariat but out of the 3 pair I purchased this pair is just very tight around the top. I have worn them 3 times so far and they do not seem to be stretching at all. Any suggestions?

Color in picture is nowhere near the color of boot received. Was told by rep that

This is my 4th pair of this same boot and the quality has gone downhill! They also don't fit the same- used to wear an 8- now I need a 71/2. The quality of the leather is thin and the soles are plastic feeling,- not rubber like they used to. I can tell they won't last long! Very disappointed with Ariat company- they USED to be the only boot I would buy!

Bought this boot 2years ago wore maybe 6 times fell completely apart. Bummer to spend theobey hoping to get quality that would last and this boot fell completely apart mostly in the toe area.

Mediocre, don't last long given the price point, and Ariat as a company will email you ten thousand times no matter how many times you unsubscribe (because your feedback is more important to them than respecting your no) but as an equestrian with wide calves I have zero other boot options, hooray!

If you have wide feet, probably need to size up a half size at least. Sad that I just got these today and they don't even fit and they're non returnable! I usually just wear mens boots because they never run small.

Very narrow despite buying the wide size. The calf for wide calf didn't seem to be much difference either.

Only reason I didn't like these was because of the quarter inch edge of the tred Around the base. It doesn't feel right walking or looking down at them. Nothing wrong with the boot. Just not the original style I like personally.

I bought these this year and they are already worn out. Doesn't seem to be as long lasting of quality as the previous exact boots I have ordered. Disappointed.

I work on a horse farm and was wanting a good boot for everyday wear. Something waterproof, comfortable and durable. I thought Ariat would be the best because in the past I have well loved western boots that lasted forever. Well after only 4 months of everyday use they're cracking on the sides, the sole is coming apart and are no longer waterproof. If I'm spending this kind of money on any boot I expect better quality from such well respected equine brand. It seems the quality has gone downhill.

I wore these for about a week and afterwards I had pain all the way from my feet to my hips. I changed the insoles and everything and they still just killed my feet and hips especially. My coworkers swore by them but I couldn't bear to wear them anymore. In addition they got dirty so quickly and creased after day 3. Not a fan (personally)

I was so looking forward to wearing this boot! Unfortunately, it has a very narrow neck and I am unable to even get my foot past the turn. If I could get my foot in the boot it would likely fit. So sad.

I have purchased numerous Terrain Waterproof boots for the last 10 years. Something has happened with the quality of these and other Ariat boots. In fact, at the horse rescue ranch where I volunteer, a few of the other gals agree with me about this significant decline in quality (and increase in price!). This review is for the latest pair of Terrain Waterproof boots I bought about two years ago. I wear these boots twice per week at the ranch for about 5 hours each day. My feet are KILLING me by the time I'm done and this did not start happening until my last pair (which I replaced with these and now have to replace again - but this time with a different brand). Also, my feet feel like they are on fire after my day is done. I'm just really sad that Ariat quality has taken a tumble - there were so many years where their women's boots were unbeatable. I gave them two stars because they are still pretty well waterproofed!

I've had these boots in the past with no complaints but they have changed. Not the same quality! I may have kept them but in addition there was a defect inside the boot that made them so uncomfortable I had to return them. Easy return & refund but disappointed. I've been around long enough to remember Ariat from the start, when they were a good quality company. Now like every other company they have outsourced to China.

I've been buying Terrains for years and the quality has progressively gotten worse and worse. I always have at least 2 pairs of paddock boots, and often are rotating 3 pairs. The Terrains are super comfortable and useful for me BUT they DO NOT last anymore. For example I usually wear a specific pair of Terrains twice a week. The last 5 pairs I bought separated at the seam at the ball of my foot on both boots within 9 months. That's not much wear!! I never get them wet or wear them in the mud - I have muck boots for that. I clean and condition them weekly at least once. I've even tried 2 different sizes but they still fall apart at the same place. Looking for a replacement - going to try Justin or Mountain Horse. No more Ariat Terrains for me.

When the Terrain boots first came out they were the only shoes I could wear when I had plantar fasciitis. The last 3 pairs I've gotten have not lived up to that quality. The materials seem cheaper, more plastic than leather, my feet float around inside them, they stretch out faster and don't even last a year now. And the ATS foot beds flatten out way too quickly and seem very thin. I've had this pair just under a month and my feet already hurt. I wish they would go back to the original quality. Unfortunately I can't return them because I've already worn them outside working.

I absolutely love these boots. However, I just noticed that on one of the heels the glue/gloss is peeling off. I have worn these boots maybe 5 times. For the price of these boots, they should be better quality. Very disappointed.

Loved these boots until they came apart where the leather meets the sole. Both boots both sides. Boots aren't even a year old.

I bought these about a month ago and they are very stylish boots. My reason for buying them is I work long hours on concrete flooring and I need something that keeps me comfortable. I have received a lot of compliments on the style of these boots, however, my feet and body hurt at the end of the day after wearing them. I tried putting inserts in them but, it didn't help. Maybe I need try Ariat inserts for them. They seem like they will last and I love the Aztec design but, I wish they were more comfortable. I also wear thicker socks because they are a little wider than expected. I wear an average width size the they're slighter wider than that. For style I would recommend. For comfort I would not.

This is my third pair of Ramblers. My first two were exceptional. This last pair it appears that the quality of leather has changed (not for the better). The toe is not as squared as they used to be, and stitching is a much different color. These boots are also now higher than the last ones. I realize fit changes with leather but the fit on these is off. My left boot is perfect and my right boot is very loose. Tough deal but I'll be shopping for a different style next time.

I loved the look of these boots, I had read all the good reviews and was so excited for them! Unfortunately I found the leather extremely stiff and uncomfortable. My left foot fitted inside the boot but I couldn't get my right foot into the other one! I was sad to send these boots back.

I have had two sets of these boots. I love them because they are comfortable for riding as well as hiking. But one boot on both sets ripped at the toe so it isnt waterproof anymore. This happened on each set only after 6 months! And I only wear them in the mornings....though they do get wet a lot. I would not call these boots very rugged at all.
