I ordered these first in a 7.5 because I was worried they'd be too narrow. The width was fine, but there was an inch of room at my toes. I have a pair of Ariat paddock boots from about five years ago that are a 7, so I figured I'd return those and try a 7. They're still too long, and they're also too narrow now. I love the boots, they're gorgeous, I just wish I had the feet to fit them. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them.

These are very sturdy, well-made boots, for the outdoors. I bought a half size smaller than I usually do and they fit perfectly. They are a little stiff, which seems to fatigue my feet (no pain) after wearing them all day. I hope they loosen up.

I didn't even try these on. They were heavy and bulky looking. Reminded me of a man's work boot. Leather was stiff.

These boots are really cute. The dark brown finish and crocodile pattern really make the boot something special. I love lacers and it's nice to see something different than black or distressed brown.

The boots look nice in the internet but in person, they look rough and boots are heavy.

These boots are very comfortable, feel good on my feet. I like the extra protection over my toes. They clean up nicely after being at the barn all day.

I absolutely love these boots! I bought my first pair over 10 years ago. I wore them all the time was so happy to find them again. I ordered my normal size and then ended up going half a size smaller. These provide great support for my narrow feet. They are highly recommend! Zappos' service is unbelievable. They are highly recommend!

I have difficult feet: size 10, narrow, and high-arched. (Ever try to find light-weight, non-ugly hiking shoes in a narrow size?) I HATE shopping for shoes, and when I finally convince myself to buy some, I sit around staring at them for weeks, unwilling to try something that will probably prove to be too wide or take months to break in. I had none of these problems with the Ariat Heritage Lacers that my husband kindly bought me on Zappos so that I would have something rugged and waterproof for travel. They are slightly too wide, so I needed two pairs of socks. I was also put off at first by how long my feet looked in a paddock boot. On the other hand, when I finally made myself wear them, the AHLs went on my feet and stayed there for 30 hours while I traveled from California to Britain. They didn’t pinch, my very narrow heels didn’t shift and blister, and my feet stayed warm and dry. I wore them up steep Welsh hills, in various airports, and around miles and miles of London pavement. My horse-riding daughter was right: these Ariats are keepers.

Great boot -
These are comfortable with almost no break-in. The leather is very soft. Great for all-day wear and walking.

I'M AN ARITAT GIRL -
Have a pair of Ariat Ropers that are possibly 20-years-old and they're still the first pair of shoes that I grab whenever I put on a pair of jeans. My Ropers are a true testament to Ariat....hardwearing, hardworking, and good looking.
My Lacers had NO break-in time and look great, and honestly, I'm hoping they last just as long...PS I'm going to keep my Ropers forever…love 'em that much.

Love these boots! They look especially great with blue jeans. I thought I'd immediately remove the kilt thing, but somehow still haven't! The leather is terrific. Basically, these boots are a fantastic value; they are comfortable, elegant and slightly chunky at the same time!

Most comfortable boot ever!
No breaking in was needed. My regular size 7 Med was a perfect fit. I wear them almost daily, dress slacks or jeans. I get lots of compliments on them. Love the black, thinking of getting another color too!

Best boots I've ever purchased -
I needed a good pair of boots for a winter trip to Europe. My legs may have been aching for all the stair climbing, hill climbing etc I did, but my feet were NEVER SORE!!! And, they were always warm! No breaking in necessary! Great support, a nice neutral heal and the kilt on the front can come off for an alternate look! LOVE these boots so much I am going to buy a second pair for when I wear the first ones out!

WOW -
I am not sure if this is the same boot made over, but this is the boot that turned me on to Ariat. I have had them for around 8 years. Can't say enough about the comfort and durability. I have foot problem and Ariats are great for support and comfort. Cannot recommend them more highly. Zappos is the greatest!!!

The build quality of these boots was excellent for the price. Deertan was soft and the sole was solid yet allowed for bending around the ball of the foot. The only con was that the shoes ran a full size larger for me. I am usually a 9 and tried an 8.5, and then an 8. The 8.5 fit perfectly except that my heel was very loose. Even with the 8 my heel was loose and then the rest of the shoe was uncomfortably tight. I don't have the right type of feet for these, but they were great boots!

Very strong, well-made shoes. I plan to wear them mainly with pants, both dressy and jeans. The reviews said the shoes ran a half size larger, so I planned for that when I chose the size, and they fit fine. They are verging on a "work boot look," but that's okay. The lace-ups are easy and fast because three of the top ones are hooks.

The construction of this boot was great. I normally have to go up one size to insert my orthotics but I was able to do this with my normal size 6. So I found them to be one size bigger. The boot does feel heavy and I don't think I'll be able to wear them for long periods of time, but I'm keeping them anyway.

Bought these to replace same shoe from years before. So disappointed! No padded collar at the top so leather cuts into your calf. Eyelet at top nearly impossible to lace without unlacing at least one of the speed lace prongs. They're open! How stupid is that? Previous pair had closed lace holders. Believe me, it's much faster to loosen the laces to get the boots on than trying to thread an eyelet while keeping the laces in the speed lacers!

Love the look of these boots and the quality is superb, but they are so heavy, my legs ache from the weight. I wanted something a bit more country looking because I usually wear pretty girly looking stuff. These were to be the start of a mid-life image change for me. Sadly, I don’t have the leg strength to wear them.

Well, I love Ariat boots, had a pair of paddock Ariats that I wore out after 10 years. So, I thought I\'d try these. Unfortunately, they are not true to size - I am a 9.5 in shoes and these fit more like a 10. Also, the right was stretched out compared to the left boot. Also noticed they were made in China - not happy about that. So, I returned them and have ordered a pair of 1880 Lucchese boots. More true to size and made in America, which I think is something we all should support these days.

I REALLY needed some new boots. My current boots were starting to rub and cause a blister. I remembered a pair of Ariats that i had several years ago and liked (but ultimately destroyed) so a search began. Buying shoes online can be iffy so i was prepared to send them back if they didnt work out. I'm very happy with these boots. They are comfortable, provide good support, and look nice. I got my usual size. I did take the frill at the bottom off. I hope these will last me several years. I'll try to be nicer to them than my former pairs.

The most comfortable boot that I've ever worn. I suffer from major arch issues and nothing is comfortable. I wear this boot for an entire day with no issues. It can also be worn as a formal dress boot and work boot. I loved it so much I purchased both colors
