Customer Reviews Ariat Hybrid Rancher

This is my third pair of boots. Can't get the right boot on without extreme difficulty.

I have a narrow foot so my feet slid around more than I would like in this boot. Other than that solid construction and nice design!

Ok so after some wear... im ready to leave a truthful review. So when I first got them. Very hard to put on. More so my left foot then my right. And I understand sometimes they need some breaking in. And I've done that for months... and I still!! Fight to get them on. Once on they are a great boot. But, the fact that I have to struggle SO darn hard to get them On ruins the love of the boots. Im literally in tears! Cause I can't get my heel past the opening part. And it destroys my lower back everytime cause I suffer from sciatic lower back pain. And I have to use them cause I need them for work. Ive even tried dipping them in boiling water to stretch them. And its works for a few days! But goes back to impossible to get on. So then I conditioned them and that worked for a few days. But why do they keep going back to the way they were! Where i can't get the top of my foot and heel past that impossible point! I'm so upset just crying trying to get them on. I'm so fed up. I dont want to have to keep a darn bottle of water beside me everytime I want to put my boots on! Cause that's the only way they will give to force it on. I wanted so bad to love these boots... im just so over trying to get them on. Once on! They fit perfectly and some room to spare! So no way in hell....they are too small. Frustrated beyond any boot ive ever owned. And I've put runs small only because the opening is tight. The foot fits fine inside the boot once on.

Wore them for two weeks straight, the right boot is still way to tight compared to the left very disappointed. It seems to be they are defective as the right one has zero heel support

I bought 2 pair one for me one for a friend both pair of boots the left one cant even get on some times and when you do get it on you are tired from trying so long but once you have them on you can wear all day without any problems at all if not for that I would give 5 STARS have have bought Ariats in the past and will continue to do they need to fix this problem, thinking these problem area would stretch out after a few times wearing they did not so to return them is not even an option I would recommend these boot if the problem is resolved as of now no

I am still waiting on our exchanged product. Purchased a pair for my husband and they were wrong size. Sent back the original pair to be exchanged for different size. The original pair were received by the Ariat Company, but have not yet received the new size for the exchange. It has now been 3 weeks since the original pair were sent back.

I bought this work boots for my husband did not last long five months Mickey attached from the side

Handsome boots; however, likely best worn for dress purposes only. Outsoles provide little to no traction on wet leaves, Mud, or snow. The boot leather started a handsome, dark pebbled brown. Now, anytime the boots get even a little wet that appearance goes away, and a white line appears (The line in the images was from a little bit of rain in the northeast, no chemicals, no cleaners, no hazardous material materials). Difficult fit (Had to order wide for the first time ever). Hard to break in, and not exactly comfortable after breaking in. They have received a lot of compliments for their appearance. For their looks, they're fine so long as you keep them dry. These do not hold up to any real work.

The distressed brown does not come tan it's really brown. It looks just like the other color

Ordered the lighter version of the rancher boots, instead of them notifying me they didn't have any, they just sent the dark pair. it's for a gift if i could give less stars i would. lazy and embarrassing on Ariats behalf.

These boots had horrible quality. After 5 months of wearing them for work, I had blown out the sides of both boots. This was the 1st pair of ariat boots I have purchased and they will be the last pair I purchase.

Bought the Hybrid Rancher because I wanted a western style waterproof boot. Well 4 months later they're not waterproof anymore. Good looking boot but very disappointed in them

Very inconsistent with the sizing of boots throughout the company. I order a 7.5D it should fit the same regardless of the style of model. I have ordered 4 pairs of different boots and shoes. All 7.5D's are different fit. I'm sorry to say but I think it's the same across all brands. To me, you fix that issue you'll find yourself having a great reputation with your customers

Never received my order. Got charged and never got anything. Won't buy again.

Liner came out of boot making them impossible to get them off

ordered these thinking their gonna be light color like in the pictures, but they are a dark brown...

Just got a pair the leather was very hard and dry after wearing for 2 hours leather was cracking.

I've ordered four pair of these boots and they're all defective. The first pair has damage on the toe. The second pair one of the boots made a popping sound as I walked. The third pair one boots is shorter than the other and the fourth pair the stitching is coming undone.

I can't wear your boots. They are far too uncomfortable.

I've owned several pairs of Ariat through the years and like the brand. Loved the color of the boots that are pictured above but I did not receive the ones pictured. I ordered what I thought was a kind of dark tan and received a really dark brown. Deceived is best way to feel the way I felt. Have messaged them about it around 1-1.5 weeks ago and still no response. As stated they're nice but don't expect the color that is pictured above.

I've had these for about 3-4 months now and live in Alaska. I've probably fallen 3-4 times now and I have nearly fallen more than 40 times. That's not exaggerating. The rubber compound on the bottom is so hard, it does the opposite of being "slip resistant". It's so hard it's acts like plastic on ice. I could turn these into ice skates it's so bad. They're very dangerous and I would not recommend them. They are not designed for snow, ice or slippery surfaces. Whomever did the formula for rubber compound hardness was way off. Please don't buy these if you're looking for more traction. You're better off with traditional boot soles.

Not comfortable, soul is coming off, stitching is fading Overall hate this boot, not worth the money.

Boot liner detached from boot within a week. Boots were unusable after that.

Boot was too big. I've owned other Ariats the same size that fit fine.

The wrong size boots were sent. I sent back for a refund and still have yet to get it. It's been about a month. I have reached out multiple times for an update but instead I keep get emails asking how I like them.
