Customer Reviews Ariat Heritage Lacer II

It's been 15 years since I've ridden so I'm pretty much a newbie again. I wanted a shoe that I would work for both Western and English riding and landed on this one. They fit perfectly out of the box and I wore them around the house a bit before riding. I've used them for Western riding a couple times and they're been great. I had surgery on my right foot 12 years ago which resulted in sensitive parts on my foot and around the arch. I haven't had any issues with irritation along those areas. I would highly recommend this shoe!

I am female, and have a wide foot. I cannot wear the ladies cap toe paddock boots at all, although I have owned many over the years and end up giving them away due to the pain. However I recently was in a shop that carried mens, size 8 which is the same as a womens 9.5, but wider in the toe area. And, actually they can be ordered even wider still! I often have had to order a ladies in a 10 just to have room for toes. Great solution. Great boots. Worn them since Ariat girls first came out with them...a long long time ago!

I've have many pairs of these and a great long wearing comfortable. I have bad ankles and these help so much being able to lace and support my ankles. They wear forever and i"m hard on boots. I order wide width.. Its hard to find wide width riding boots. I bought a black saddle so I had to have Black boots to match. I usually ordered the brown. This is the best price I ever paid....Prompt delivery....This was my first time ordering from this site. I couldn't belive how much cheaper they were!

I've been looking for these boots for years finally found them I love them but didn't have my size I had to get them a little big I needed a size 5 had to get a 5 1/2 but I love them anyway

This is my third pair of these boots. I'm still using the first pair for training and the second pair for showing. This pair will be my "extra!" I have a narrow ankle and these lacers fit perfectly and provide support for all of the hours that I wear them. They also "wear like iron" in all kinds of weather. Love them!

I bought my first pair of these boots in 1999 in Montana, and am still wearing them. They are my best friends boots and have been worn hard and are still in pretty good shape. I just bought a new pair and love them. The leather in the new pair does not seem quite as supple but I think they will break in nicely.

I bought these boots for horseback riding lessons and they are perfect. I have wide feet, I printed out the size guide and measured my foot first. I usually wear a 7 but I got these in 7 1/2 wide and they fit perfectly even with socks on. They have great cushion and sturdy ankle support which you need for horseback riding. They aren't too tight and very comfortable. They also arrived quickly and were well packaged. Totally worth it!! I recommend pulling the laces completely out when you first get it, put on the boot then relace so you get a more comfortable fit.

I loooove these boots. The fringe gives them such an extra little something, and I adore it. They're very comfortable. Kind of narrow, but work great for my feet. My favorite boots.

From an italian horse outfitter and trainer: I bought in USA a pair 12 years ago. Now are totally worn out after so long time of daily work: I'm going to buy exactly another pair just now!

I bought my first pair of these used at a tack shop. 1) most comfortable paddock boots I have every worn. 2) love LOVE LOVE the Kiltie. 3) incredibly durable. I bought mine very used and I wore them pretty much daily for two years. I kept them out of the mud but other than that I wore them to muck, wash the horse, walk, everything. I wear them 4-7 hours per day, 5-7 days per week. The leather is still in decent shape...I'm only getting a new pair because the sole is giving out a TINY bit and I haven't taken care of the soles very well. Actually, I haven't taken care of the entire boot other than keeping them out of the mud. Remember, I bought them used, wore them HARD for two years and they're STILL kicking. But I am buying a new pair anyway. Because I deserve it.

I was so surprised at how comfortable these boots were. I opened them and decided to walk around in my place to break them in. No need for that as the insides have so much cushion and comfort. Your going to love these boots.

I have been wearing these lacers for years, thanks to a recommendation of a friend of my mom's who knows about the trouble I have had with my feet since I was a kid. They are by far the best boots I have ever tried, and I will stick with them! After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;)

I bought this boot about 20 years ago and really loved it. I was very happy to find it again. I ordered the boots and received them a few days ago. I really love the boots. They are exactly the same as the old boots. A little stiff at first but that is to be expected. I know from the last pair I had that they will soften up. The last pair were so comfortable I wore them all day every day. I have never had a pair of boots as comfortable as these. GREAT JOB ARIAT!!!!

This is my 3rd pair and I love them. Great fit and very comfortable once broken in.

First of all, I couldn't have ordered my correct size without printing off the size chart. For years I have worn either an 8 or 8 1/2 Medium. I measured my feet on the printable chart and ordered a 9 Wide. They fit beautifully!! Finally, the quality of the leather and construction of the boots is top notch! They are light weight and very durable. I have no problem working in these boots all day. I have also received many compliments because they are just as stylish as they are practical!

I buy these boots in a 9C and they fit perfectly. Have worn them for 20 years or more. Most comfortable shoe I own. Wish all my shoes were this comfortable and durable. Use them to ride, do cow and horse chores, cut wood, anything I need protection and ankle support for. I also have a bunion on my left foot which is why I wear the C width and they work great. I'm diligent about keeping them oiled since they do get wet quite often and want to protect and preserve them as much as possible. They usually last at least two years before I feel like I need to order another pair. The last pair separated where the sole and the leather come together after 3 years of wear.

Hi I just wanted to show my gratitude and satisfaction to the Ariat company... I have owned these Heritage lacers since around 2004 I believe. They've gone through barn muck, western trail riding, and every season and weather condition imaginable...yet are still going strong! At the same time that lacers became popular, so did Leather Therapy products, which have helped these boots along the way. Thanks so much for a good quality boot that is continuing to hold up 14 years later!

I just bought these at a local store and i have to say they are more comfortable than any shoe i have ever owned.... i do not ride .... i am just very vinetagy and love the look and total support i need for my weak ankles thank you Ariat ... you made my year...

I bought my original pair after a breakup. They were one of those emotional shopping trip buys. Fell in love with them immediately. For five years I wore them nearly every single day. To work, my classes, dates, while riding...you name it. Finally the second pair of laces I bought for them last spring gave out and I replaced them with full leather laces. Huge mistake. My young dog got a hold of them and very carefully pulled the laces out and ate them...then she ate my boots. I was so close to giving my dog away. I went nearly a year without them but this last Christmas, my girlfriend bought me a new pair of the brown heritage boots and surprised me with them on Christmas. Not going to lie, I cried like a baby. The leather on these are different than the olds one used to be, but they're ageing so nicely. The leather is darkening and softening up just right. I wear either these or my Birkenstocks, I can't imagine my life without these stupid boots.
