Customer Reviews Ariat Ariat Rambler

I'm a 6.5 in Ariat tall boots (for English riding) but these are too big, and I almost sprained my foot. Exchanging them! I'm sure a half size lower should be good.I don't know why these are big on me, it seems like they're the right size for everyone else. Maybe my feet shrunk?? Lol. I know people get shorter as they grow older, but I'm not **THAT** much older since I bought my tall boots. I love Ariat so much though, so it must be a fluke. Hopefully I can exchange them.

We bought these months ago and now would like another pair. Size 13 Width EE. Could you let me know when they might be available again?

I've had my Ariat boots for about 4-5 years now and have taken them hiking all over the US. There are lots of things I love about these boots, but there are a few things I've learned over the years that have helped me to get the most use out of them as well. 1. They are great for protecting your toes and supporting your ankles. I am so clumsy and stub my toe on everything. I also have terribly weak ankles and roll them often, but love challenging hikes. These boots always ensure that I never have to worry about either of those things. They are super tough and give great support and *knock on wood* haven't hurt my feet or my ankles yet because of them. 2. With that said, they are such good quality. As I previously mentioned, I've had mine for awhile now and they are just as sturdy/stiff as when I first bought them. I've put them through some serious hell, so these boots are long-lasting. Have yet to have any problems with ripping, tearing, or fraying. Even the shoelaces look as perfect as when I first got them. 3. They're so stylish. Maybe that doesn't matter to some, but they are easy to clean and look good with literally any gear. I always feel confident and prepared in these bad boys. 4. The options with a leather upper have very little breathability. This just means that your feet will sweat more and you will be more likely to get blisters. At first, I thought the blistering was due to having to wear in the boots, but later realized it's just a lack of air flow. To make up for this, I use sock liners and blister covers and I don't have any problems. For this reason alone, I am SO glad I did not purchase the waterproof version. I can only imagine how stifling those things can get. 5. Another thing I've noticed is that the shoelaces become loose pretty easily. I would probably recommend getting a better set of laces, as loosening shoelaces can also cause some blistering when hiking. 6. Something other people have noted the lack of traction on these boots. I think the most important point is that the tread on these boots is not made for every single type of terrain. For example, I love taking these out in the rain on trails that have sticky mud or grippy surfaces. I would not, however, take these on trails that have a lot of loose rock or gravel, rain or shine, as it will be more likely for you to slip due to lack of traction. I think this is overall a small inconvenience as I do not expect one pair of shoes to get me through every sort of terrain. I can typically wear these boots for about 80% of my hiking activities, and that's good enough for me. Overall, I have absolutely loved these boots. They've taken me to some pretty cool places. Hopefully I won't be needing to buy a new pair anytime soon, but, if I did, I would definitely purchase these same exact boots a second time.

Have worn Ariat terrain boots for many, many, years. I really like them. However, I would rather have these boots in a zip up style. Last two pair I purchased were zip and prefer them over the tie boots. These were true to size and arrived very quicky. What happened to the zip style?

Comfortable, durable, quality boot. I wear these daily for work where I can be walking up to 12 miles per day. They have held up remarkably.

I needed a boot for this fall and really liked the look of this one and the glowing reviews it got, especially the short break in time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some heal rubbing and dont know what to do to help it. Any ideas?

Still, they are advertised as made to last, and they do not. I have had many pairs of them, and each pair lasted no more than one year, as the sole in front separates from the shoe. No amount of glue can get it then to stay affixed. Also, one would think that it is possible to supply shoe laces which stay tied. Other boots can do so, but with Ariat, after a short period of time, they simply will not stay tied without double knotting them, and eventually the ends fray and it is have to put them through the holes.

I love these boots, although I really wish you still made the zipper ones. So much easier at the barn with zippers. I've been buying Ariat's for years and have never had a complaint until the last boots I purchased. They were a waterproof pro boot that came up higher on the ankle.....they didn't last as long as previous purchases. The zipper totally broke and the leather split. I notice you no longer offer that boot. Thank Goodness!!

Got these for working around the barn, on my feet for a few hours at a time made my feet ache in the paddock boots I was wearing. I did have to buy some wick away moisture socks to make them super comfy but my feet don't ache anymore. They are true to size!

The color and stitching is beautiful. The height is perfect. Much nicer leather than Justin. Hope they wear well.

I am on my third round of these. I ride in them multiple times a week stomp in the mud and walk around town. My only reason for not giving a 5 star- the cushioning would be improved, when I try other Ariat boots the cushion is much softer and more supportive.

They were so comfy, lightweight and comfortable. a little darker than the photo online but very pretty. I returned them because the back of the heel area had a scratch and looked like glue was on there. Customer service was nice on the phone and they emailed me a free return shipping label. I will be re ordering another pair because I loved them. But I was being picky with the quality.

My first ariat boot purchase and I am very satisfied. These are super lightweight and comfortable. The color seems a bit darker than what is shown on the website. Overall I really like them.

bought them for my husband and he loves them wears them 5 days a week for work. Bad thing is the sole of the boots cracked on both of them and now i have to buy new ones and there pretty pricey. He loves them though and i will have to get him some new ones they lasted him 2 years so that was good.

I just wish it was a composite toe and had the same stitching on the toe as the other rambler. I got 3 years out of the pair I had.

Love the look and feel of these boots. The rep told me to order them in my tennis shoe size (9.5D), but if I could go back, I'd order them 1/2 size down as them seem to run a little large (loose in the heel and a bit long). Other than that they're extremely comfortable and look great.

I like non insulated boots for summer. It's not waterproof, which is what I like. They have a more comfortable sole than the WorkHogs... I like them so far. 3 weeks old

Incredibly comfortable boots. I'm on my third pair. I've worn them everywhere. I am hard on the soles of footwear and the heels hold up great.

There was a manufacturing defect in the seam of the boot so I called customer service and I sent them back and I'm currently awaiting the refund

I wear these boots to work, to work in the yard and to ride in. Great boot, takes all the punishment and clean up great!

I got them as a gift from Christmas. When they arrived they already had a big scuff across them and I was upset but I have worn them outside doing chores and every where and love them. They are so comfortable and hold up well.
