Customer Reviews Ariat Rambler Work Pull-On Steel Toe

I bought these as my first pair of cowboy boots about 2 months ago. Yesterday, I discovered that the rubber sole at the toe was splitting into layers. After further inspection, I discovered that the stitching had pulled through the rubber, so it was splitting all across the front, and was beginning to pull apart on the sides, too. For being so expensive, I didn't think structural integrity would be an issue, and am very disappointed because of it. I will be taking them back for a replacement, since they ARE incredibly comfortable and fit well, but if those fall apart as well, I will have to find another, sturdier boot.

I bought this boot in powder brown several months back and when I took them out of the box they looked so different than in the picture. The top was powder brown, but the bottoms were so dark that they looked funny with the tops. Also the tops are suede, so if you don't like suede stay away from this boot.

So i purchased these because let's face it, they look awesome! However, not even a year later, they are coming apart. The stiches that hold the sole are all ripping and the gap is ever growing where the big toe joint meets the sole. They have been taking on water from about 3 weeks after purchase and i don't mean i go swimming with them on, but just walking through morning grass with due will cause them to leak and eventually soak right through. This is my 2nd pair and i'm affraid after the dissapointment, will be my last Ariat boots. :(

I have worn Ariats for years and these are the most uncomfortable boots I have ever had. Very narrow in fit and hard insole and footpad structure. My feet kill me by end of day. Design is cute, comfort is awful.

There has always been so much to like about the Ariat Terrain over its lifespan as an Ariat boot model - fit, comfort, etc. However, since Ariat began the use of the 'hardshell' toe and heel covers, the Terrain has declined as my choice of boot. What in all aspects would appear to be a design improvement will, over time and wear, become a problem for the owners of this boot. I have had two pairs of boots with this feature, and both have come unstitched where the toe and heel material attaches to the leather of the boot. In the case of the recent pair I ended up taking them to a repair shop to have them re-stitched. For what this black plastic hardshell cover gives me, I would rather go back to a plain, reinforced leather model. Oh, and ARIAT has - I am certain - heard the following before, PLEASE lengthen and double or triple stitch the finger pull tab at the back of the shoe. At least on your men's shoes they are completely unusable - they are way too short, and tear easily. If you need help with this take a look at an Aussie boot - R.W. Williams, Baxter's, or Blundstone's.

I love the look of them, however, they are the stiffest upper that I have ever worn or even seen. I truly hope that they soften up soon orI willhaveto call customer service and ask them what Ican do.

The boots were better looking in the pic then on my feet =( I have wanted a pair of these boots for eons but once I got them, put them on,theyjust didn'twork for me. Awaitingmy refund now...

Boots are great and they fit awesome! It took a while to ship and get here. A lot longer than anything else I have everbought.

I got these for Christmas and was devastated they don't fit. It already sucks that most retailers don't carry a size 11, so my family travelleda couplehoursto find thesein an11, but when I went to put myfoot inthey are narrow! So narrow my foot couldnt even get IN the boot. These are a long narrow boot. They are a size 11 in length but a size 8 in width. I went and took a look at the rest of what ariat has to offer and they are all narrow. Guess ill keep my 3 year old pair of ariats and buy a new brand. I would normally consider these boots an everyday versatile boot, but I am rating them casual as I could see them being very discomforting to anyone with a wider foot.

my husband got this one for me for our aniversary. i really like it. so pretty. but i used just once, some rhinestonesfell off...shocking ':(

I loved these boots as soon as I put them on...take two steps and realize something is wrong. The forefoot and length fit perfectly. The heel issowidei canput my fingersbetween my heel and boot andnot eventouchmy heel. It's like the heel is two sizes two wide.

The boots were okay. I have another pair of Ariats that are very comfy and very sharp looking. These were just okay.But I could tell they wouldnever becomfortable andthe right boot fit bigger thantheleftboot(?) I sent them back.

I walk miles and miles on concrete and hoped I could wear these year round. I spoke to customer support and was told these would be perfectandwould evenhelp myfeet andalignment issues. I tested them out ona couple of 57 degree days and my feet were extremely hot. I tried the thinnest socks I could find and my feet were still hot and the top of my toe was on it's way to a blister. Also, it hasn't helped my knee issues at all. Lastly, these have full grain leather and a Cordura nylon upper -- whatever that means, but they feel like pleather. Customer service was very nice, but these boots aren't for me. Very disappointed.

I think that these are great work boots! My only big complaint is that there is not enough tread on the boot, if it rains i find myself slipping!

They are not very comfortable.

I found these uncomfortable - cut into me at the ankle. I think I'm just better with the boots that provide more support and cover the ankle, which I've wornforever.

I had a very old pair of these boots that I LOVED. The replacement pair from a few years ago were good, but much heavier, bulkier. Still,verygood, comfortable.Definitely protected your feet from injurywhenoutwalking. The newest ones (post Hurricane Sandy - no one would want to wear any shoes, boots or sneakers after that disgusting mess!) need to go back. They are long enough but narrow across the toe box. Boo. I literally have one pair of sneakers at the moment. I was counting on these boots.

I work as a lab tech on wet painted concrete floors and have owned many different brands of waterproof and slip resistant boots. I would have tosay these arethe worst i have ever purchased as faras slip control. Ihave owned them for 3 weeks and have injured my back and knee from slipping. They do not breathe and make my feet sweat. They are however very comfortable and light weight. Disappointed in my first Ariat purchase!

I'm an athletic person and I have big calves, I've had these boots for over 2 years now and they are still very tight around my ankles. Theyneverbrokeinright.

I purchased these boots to replace a pair of Ariats I had for a couple years. After only a couple months of wear the stitching has come completelyundone onboth boots. They're only worn once or twice aweek.I've owned only Ariat brand for over 9 years and I'm so disappointed in the quality of these, they will be the last pair I'll own. I gave a 2 star rating because they are comfortable, but the workmanship is inexcusable.

I wore these boots only 3 4 times and they got ugly. One even turned light brown and the other dark brown and i am normally a big fan of the boots but these really disappointed.

I used to love these boots, but they are unfortunately so uncomfortable to wear all day in the barn.

Bought brand new 4 months ago and already ripped out in toe area and unrepairable. Ariat used to be my go to workbook, but so disappointed. Customer service has been non responsive

My boots arrived with a discoloration on the right heel. I reached out to customer service and sent pictures. It has been 2 weeks and no word back.

After placing my order I got an email a couple of days later that my order was canceled.
