Customer Reviews Ariat Ariat Rambler

I was unable to even insert my foot into this boot. I bought the appropriate size (10 1/2) but was unable to get my heel past the back heel support of the boot. And no I am not a chubby kid with fat ankles or Flintstone feet. Too bad cause they are sweet looking.

First pair of the Rambler I ordered was just big. I ordered a size 12 to start and then went to an 11 and even the 11 was a bit big. The problem I had with these boots was a raised seam on the inside of the left boot. This occurred with 2 pairs of 11's and 1 pair of 10.5, all in the same spot. The right boot was fine and I could not feel the seem whatsoever. I tried inserting different and additional insoles to stop the persistent raised seem in the boot to no avail. Maybe I have sensitive feet? All I really know is that I have owned dozens of boots in my life some good, some bad. But I have never had to deal with this type of product reliability with a boot. I have worn Justin's, Laredo's, Nick's, White's, Hawthorne's, Tony Lama's, Double H's and probably others I can't remember and I have never had this kind of problem. I believe that problems lies with where Ariat decided to place the seams for the sole and insole of the boot which runs right under the ball of your foot, in perfect line to cause issues if there were to be any. Don't get me wrong I understand with any boot that there is a break in period that a person should endure and that break in period can be longer with a higher quality boot. It has taken me months sometimes to break in a boot. I gave these boots almost 4 months before I had enough, which is more than enough time for a boot to break in. So whoever is making the left boot in the Ariat Factory needs to wise up and get with the program. To anyone who considers this boot please be cautious when ordering.
