Fit true to size and liked the boot. Good price point but ultimately decided on a leather boot over the synthetic.

Got a new pair after my five year old pair finally gave out. The insole feels less padded than the old pair, but still feels comfortable, hope this pair lasts as long as the last ones

These are rather tight on my leg, these replace a pair that I have worn for 10+ years at the barn. I am hoping these will loosen up after much wear.

While these LOOK great, and feel good most of the time, they are not made for any real walking during the day -- beyond to and from short distances (across the office/parking lot, up and down, etc.) but not for "longer hauls" (don't expect all day shopping, campus walks, etc.) The Zippers stick a bit too.... but with boots this sharp... getting stuck in them wouldn't be that bad... but having to be cut out of them would NOT be good.

I have a pair in brown that are about 15 years old and I still wear them. I will be returning the black pair I just bought though as the instep is a little too short for me. These are amazing boots though! I had just forgotten that it took me a while to break in the instep - it's just my foot - high arches, high instep.

Bought these a little more than 2 years ago. Wore them for maybe 2 months. Brought them out today to clean up and wear.. while applying leather polish, the leather (?? Over fabric) coating on the tongue of one boot literally crumbled and peeled off. Does not affect functionality of boot... can't even say it is cosmetic as you cannot see it when zipped. It was just a bit disappointing and surprising... I'd expected a little better quality. The right side has a little spot that appear as though the same thing will happen... so I will not be cleaning up further.

I'm an adult novice rider... been using hiking boots till now when I take classes. So far the scouts have been a big improvement. Very comfortable even without my custom orthotics. And they've made it easier to keep my heels low. Easy to put on and pair with the half chaps. I didn't have a problem with sizing chart... fit was fine as received.

The fit was a tad large but good for my high instep foot. I wish the ankle part was a little wider as it is very snug on my leg, even with the elastic inserts. It is comfortable and love the front zipper option.

Comfortable, good starter paddock boot! I've just started riding again and didn't want to commit to $500+ boots until I knew I would be riding regularly - these are a perfect solution. I typically wear a size 8.5, but bought an 8 after trying a pair on.

My old pair had thicker leather and a better fit. It was cut above the ankle. Could not find that model so got the paddock boot. Was too narrow so I went up a size and a half for more comfort but longer toe now, still a comfortable fit. Until I wore them for a day. the upper cuts into my calf all around. So now I can't wear for more than a few hours at a time. I have thin to average sized calves so wondering when Ariat designed this model did they not try them on to shorten the height or taper it in? I gave it 3 stars as it seems like a durable boot and easy to slip on and zipper up, minus 2 stars for the issue above.

These are beautiful entry level riding boots. Unfortunately I ordered them in my normal size 8 1/2 and they felt at least a half a size too big. I had to return them so order a half size down.

It comes in true to size, but not much of arch support and very hard and stiff inside. The upper leather feels like rubber instead of leather. Not as shiny as the picture. Ankle part is tight so not comfortable while walking. It may take a while to shape it to fit the feet, but not worth to wait especially if you are aiming for comfortable boots.

The tongue on both boots is peeling and the color is rubbing onto my socks. Not sure if it's worth it to replace the tongue by a cobbler with real leather.

I used to own a pair of Ariat paddock boots that are sadly no longer in production. Those things could take a beating. These lasted 1 year before the zipper gave out. It just locks up and I can't zip the boot fully closed. They're also not very secure in the ankle and tight across the instep. Overall not worth it.

I need new paddock boots to replace my ancient pair of Dansko paddock boots. I have loved my Dansko's, but they no longer make riding boots so I turned to Ariats. I ordered several styles & models of Ariat boots and these were my least favorite. They were also the least expensive. They were very tight through the ankle and I didn't have as much room in the toe box as I wanted. The leather also felt really stiff. I returned them in favor of another style of lace-up Ariat paddock boots.
I'd also recommend:
Dansko, Ariat, Cole Haan, Brooks, Naturalizer, Born

I don't have particularly big ankles, but these were really tight, and the material was stiff and dull. I returned them.
