Customer Reviews Ariat Heritage Western X Toe

Great boot purchase! Wanted something traditional but not boring. Also am usually an 8.5 in shoes and the 8 fit. The boots will stretch a bit in the width and even until then, the slightly snug fit is not uncomfortable and have not had any blisters. Would highly recommend Ariats!

These boots are beautiful right out of the box [and by the way, Ariat packages them impeccably, with tissue, and "boot tree" to keep the shaft from getting crushed...all in a great box]. They feel great, fit a little on the large size like all Ariats do on me, so instead of my normal 6 1/2, I ordered a 6 and they were perfect. Great heel height just as long as you are not wearing a petite length boot leg pant. I am 5'2 and definitely need a 30 inseam bootcut jean to do the boots justice. If you are wavering on this one...take the plunge. A great value for this low cost.

Overall, these are super boots. Very pretty and comfortable. They aren't quite a comfortable as the Ariat Heritage Western R Toe - but only because the heel is an inch higher. However, the higher heel and the higher boot height look great with skirts, so you have to choose. They still are very comfortable for having a higher heel. If you have a "low volume" foot (one that isn't very thick), you might be better off ordering a half size down from your usual size. I've also found that using a good boot conditioner can help soften up the leather more quickly and protect your boots at the same time.

These boots are beautiful and take one wearing to break in. They are little hard going on but I have wide feet. Zappos service is GREAT!

I've had these boots about a month now, -4 stars for a tumultuous beginning, would be 5 otherwise. They were so stiff and painful when I got them, I could barely get them on, my feet got rubbed raw after wearing them for 30 minutes, I was so disappointed - but then I read about breaking them in. I soaked them 30 min in water a couple of times and then wore them around, and they really improved - then I wore them in the rain, and now they fit like a glove. I love these!! They're incredibly comfortable, especially with thick socks. Amazing for hiking, and keep my feet dry and warm in SF rains. And they are gorgeous!!!

I always order half size down for boots, however I had to return because they were too small. I could not even get my foot in the boot. I wear a size 8, I ordered a 7.5. Order your true size! Otherwise they are beautiful boost!

I just got these boots yesterday (thanks for the super fast shipping, Zappos!) and although I think they are really beautiful, I am sending them back today because the shaft is really uncomfortable and stiff. It feels a bit odd to walk in them and when bending down, the hard leather creases really hurt my ankles. I have 2 pairs of Ariat boots (Dixie and Dandy, both Black Deertan) and I don't have this issue with them, so I just ordered another Dandy pair in Sassy Brown.

Simply amazing! I ordered these boots just barely over 24 hours ago and I'm wearing them now! They look great! I am so in love with them, that as soon as I received, I took off my other boots and put these on immediately!

I was very disappointed when I received my boots today. I have very skinny calves so wearing cowboy boots with dresses always look funny on me. I was really excited about these boots because it said the calf circumference is about 12¾". That is a lie. These are definitely way bigger. They are just as loose as the other boots that I own. I am returning these because they do not fit how I expected them to. On one positive note, the soles were very cushiony. The toe was bit narrower than I normally wear but I would have managed if the shaft was thinner. The width and size of the foot part were exact to fit.

These boots are gorgeous. I was so excited to receive them. I wore them around the house that night and I ended up with blisters on each heel. They were a little stiff. I have narrow feet and narrow ankles so I could not imagine why I was getting so injured by these boots. I returned them and bought a different brand. Zappos was very helpful.
