I bought these to replace my old Carolina work boots and these are so much more comfortable. I have a pretty wide foot so I was worried they would be tight but they aren't at all. Would highly recommend.

Having worn them all day after receiving them in the mail, I am delighted with how they fit. For one, I surprised at how well they hold the foot in the heel and against the vamp. There is one downside, however. I found the color for "dark brown" to be drastically darker than the images on the website; brand new, the difference in color between the shaft and body portion is much fainter than the striking brown tones found in the online images. Aside from the colorwhich doesn't matter as much as fit does for a pair of work bootsthey function comfortably brand new without giving off the steel-toe vibes most work boots bring to the table.

I got these boots for Christmas and I immediately fell in love with them they were perfect for me. I felt like I could do anything in them. When I go to feed the horses and cows I am confident in the steel tow or when I have to cross the creek to get a calf I know my feet are going to stay dry. They leather is sturdy for the most part but after a couple of weeks I did start to crack and some of the threads came undone but this isn't unique as all friends boots that are steel toe do the same thing. It took me a twelve hour car trip, a movie, and a couple of blisters to break in the leather and my boots do have some creases in them. I recommend to use leather conditioner (the waxy stuff works better than oils and sprays) to clean and shine these boots. I slip on these boots any time I want to leave the house.

I bought these a few weeks ago and it was the best decision I made for a new shoe purchase! There was no break in period! They were so comfortable from the moment I put them on out of the box. They keep my feet dry and warm. They are easy to clean and the sole is definitely slip and oil resistant! They are comfortable to wear driving and climbing in and out of the semi. They are lightweight I am a female so I bought a 7 wide and they fit so well! I love them and plan on buying a couple pairs to rotate boots.

I bought these about a year ago, the soles are strong and have stayed together. The leather that covers the steel toe has worn away because I'm a plumber pipefitter. I have gotten oil, paint, clean and dirty water, mud, and also hazardous material on my boots yet the color still looks great! And with any arias boot the insoles are amazing and I can wear these for 12+ hr shifts with comfort. I have decided instead of buying a new pair I will get the tough toe epoxy and try and get more use out of them. With the toe being repaired and new insoles I'll be counting down the time until the soles start to rip from the boot.

I bought these boots as an alternative to the usual lace up boots that I wore to work everyday. These are extremely comfortable and I really like the style. They fit great and are easy on and easy off. They may not provide as much ankle support as a lace up boot, but that is not something that I need.

Bought these for everyday use to gain some support, instead of wearing tennis shoes all the time. These boots exceeded all expectations. I have a hammer toe so I need a shoe that sits a little higher on the top of the foot. I am usually hard to fit in boots but these boots were excellent to wear. First time wearing did not even require breaking in and after 5 hours standing I had no soreness on my toes or feet at all. Im 62 years old and this is the first pair of boots I have owned that did not require a break in period. Very nice and well made boot.

My husband bought these for work, and he likes them a lot. He bought a size 14 and they fit perfectly; he wears a 15 in tennis shoes and a 14 in wide (EE) boots and nike slides.

I've only had these a few months, but they are without a doubt the most comfortable boot I've ever had straight out of the box. Very light weight for a steel toe and has worn well so far. I bought them on a recommendation from a couple friends in the steel industry and would absolutely recommend them to anyone else. I did size up to accommodate my thicker thermal socks.

First pair of boots I've owned. I bought these to wear to work at the golf course and also casual dress. They get the job done. Pretty comfortable for a heavy duty work boot. Waterproof is a big bonus. Got them SOAKED one day in standing water. Feet never felt a drop. And they dried in less than 15 minutes.

I use this boot every day, very comfortable, easy to put on or kick off, no more lenghty lacing like with the workboots I had earlier. When I bought them I tried three different brands but the Ariat boots were the most comfortable, they are easy to put on but still holds your feet firm, with minimal movement at the heels. Would I use them for a 20-30 mile hike? Not likely as laced boots are better for long walks, but for everyday work it is really comfortable. These are my first Ariat boots but Im sure not the last ones.

Working as a mechanic at a Chevy dealer in the midwest, my work boots see a lot of action. They get drenched in everything from water to coolant to diesel oil and still keep my feet dry. I've had my Groundbreaker steel toes for roughly a year. They have their share of scuffs and nicks, but still have a lot of life in them. I haven't seen any signs of the soles separating like another user posted, either. When they do give up the ghost, I'll likely be buying another set of these.

Owned these boots for 2 years. The description says it all. These are a great everyday, do it all boot. Comfortable, and waterproof. I do irrigation and never have a problem. I do use mink oil though. Ariat is the best
