Customer Reviews Ariat Workhog Wide Square Toe H20

These boots have been wonderful, but unfortunately they didn't even last a 3/4 of a year. I wear my work boots on the job and after work I will typically change to some more casual boots. I have these in a 8.5 eeee and that's hard to find, so thanks go to ariat making extremely wide boots. It's really hard to find a boot that isn't a compromise when it comes to fit and these deliver. I have to say they feel great, the fit is awesome, and I love them other than the durability issues. The uppers have held up well with regular maintenance and the composite toe has saved me a few times, but the outer sole and heel is just too soft. I work in the commercial and industrial construction sector as a project manager. I am 185lbs and about 5.6, just to be clear that I'm not a huge guy adding strain to these boots. My time in these boots has consisted of walking sites, meeting with subcontractors, checking daily site conditions/progress, and overseeing crews. That being said I'm not the guy doing many of the tasks that destroy boots. I do however walk, stand, and climb in many environments a lot, but I feel like I'm on my feet less than the average tradesman. I also have separate boots that are worn when the composite toe isn't required, when I'm walking roofs, in the office/client meetings, or for time outside of work. I typically will have boots about 12-15 months before they fail, but these didn't even last a year before the heel blew out. I took these in for sole replacement to our local dealer and they said that this one cannot be repaired. Maybe these would be a good choice if you don't need something to hold up to the demands of a commercial setting. I think these would be great for someone needing a boot for work around the house or maybe for residential.

it is a good-looking boot, stable underfoot and solid, however, the heel pocket has a sharp edge that is tough to slip on without pain or issues

This is my 3rd pair. The 1st, lasted a long time. The 2nd pair was only purchased on 9/23. I had issues with the heel support and cracks on the sole. I contacted them with no reply back about the issues. I'm giving them one last try to see how this pair holds up.

Had these boots 2 years. Wear great but we had about 6 inchs snow and had to walk around in it. Found out that walking in the rain they have been fine but standing in the snow they are not waterproof. Walking around with cold wet feet in 12 degree weather is not fun. Sole seems to be separatin.Other than that i have had no problems.

Nice boots, but my son has a pretty narrow foot and usually wears a regular width and these were tight on him. He also didn't like that the color was darker in person than they appeared in pictures. Unfortunately, we are returning them.

This is my third pair in two years. Same size as before however the latest I can not get off unless I have a long shoe horn. Not sure what changed. Very aggravating.

Boots are comfortable like my others. One of the boots was a bit scuffed up above the ankle, almost looked like it might be dry rotted and tore up.

Bought these for my son. He likes them but One of the boots is already coming apart on the inside by the heel and it makes it hard to get off. I've never had this problem before it's very disappointing.

3rd pair of boots like this, however these new ones don't seem as well built as my old ones. Not sure if they have some type of coating but stuff started flaking off of the boots immediately just from my jeans rubbing against them. Good boots but expensive for that to be happening.

Purchased is Nov. Of 2022. Now it's April 2023, Leather is holding up. Only issue is not water proof enoug. Yes I oil them now and then. Only lasted like 3 months of actual work. I live in GA. I work on a farm. My point this pair didn't hold up like the last ones.

What a bummer, I received 2 pairs today that will be gifts and the colors are way dark. So I double checked the item numbers and they're correct. I take product photos for a living and find this really disappointing that the photos do not accurately depict the coloration at all. Bruin Brown is actually entirely black. For the price especially, this is disappointing.

Like the boot other than the liner inside runs a little warm durning the summer some started ripping in first week of wearing but work in a very harsh environment

I love my Ariat, but for some reason this specific style required a longer break-in time than my WorkHog XT Work Boots and my Big Rig Work Boots. Both of those required almost no break-in period. With the WorkHog Work Boots unfortunately I had to wear only for a few hours then switch to other work shoes until they were fully broken in which was far more of a hassle. For reference I walk a guaranteed 7,500-10,000 to steps a day on concrete, gravel, and climbing ladders. In general Ariat will last me a little over a year (1 year, 2 or 3 months) before the sole starts to really show wear and the liner will rip. The Timberland Pros I used to use prior to switching to Ariat would start to have the sole separate from the shoe at about the 6 month mark, and cloth liner would wear through and absolutely ruin the foam beneath before the 1 year mark. The Merrells before that started to have issue with the soles between 4-6 months. In my experience the Ariat work boots have been significantly more durable for only a little bit higher upfront cost.

Why not make a solid color sole rather than than the bright colors takes the cowboy out of those boots

I have been wearing these boots for years. I have only one problem with them. The tend to split on the back of the boot. Earlier and earlier with each pair. They used to last 2 years. This pair is less than a year old. There is still plenty of tread left on them but the back doesn't last as long as the rest.

They don't come in a bigger size that I need......

I like these boots extremely well except the sole is tough to clean in a farm environment. They provide excellent traction but extremely tough to clean Would love to have a sole easier to clean. Any suggestion?

The boots are nice, but i hate how i order my size and they are to loose when i walk i took them to work today i had the worst day ever crazy heel and foot pain do them being to big, i cant return them because of the policy i used them, these were my first pair of ariat wont wont ve buying anymore do to return policy and the sizing hard to tell how they'll feel before yoi get them.

Normal boots they are not good at being waterproof I bought them a year ago almost and the leather is a good quality and the soul is very comfortable nice boots but again not good against water a little heavy but if you looking for lighter boots you might wanna get something different than this great for outside and heavy duty work not good on shop and water environment.

Got them about 4 months ago and the left boot is wearing uneven and braking down weirdly

I'll never buy these again. Wanted a strong comfortable long lasting work boot that was 100% waterproof. I've had these boots for less than a year. The leather is strong and durable. The rubber sole is also very tough but the layers between the insole and the sole are coming apart.. cracking and separating. These boots are water resistant at the most.. my feet are always wet.. if I walk through wet grass for more than 5 minutes oiled or not I can expect to be putting them on the dryer overnight. The worst thing about these works boots which is my biggest issue is they're terribly uncomfortable. I get 4 hours on my feet before they start hurting. I have 7 horses and many other animals. I'm on my feet for 14-16 hours everyday. I wouldn't recommend these Ariat boots for wet seasons or long days. I do consider them a safe reliable pair of work boots, but not for the price.

Real comfortable, but didn't last past 5 months the sole on both boots cracked in half and the bottom started peeling, they're not waterproof anymore.

For as expensive as theses boots are they didn't even last a year and the soles in bottom are so soft that walking across a gravel driveway I could feel stones pushing up into the bottom of my feet. The bottoms started separating and i had to glue back together after 6 months. Loved the composite toe and the fit was good otherwise. Would not buy again

Very comfortable boots and not a lot of break-in time is needed. However, I have had two pairs of these boots (one replaced under warranty) and both pairs have had the inner liner separated making it very difficult to remove the boot. The first time the boots only made it 2.5 months before it happened, the second time it took about 6 months for the liner to detach. I wish they would fix this issue because I love how comfortable the boots are.
