Customer Reviews Ariat Groundbreaker Pull-on Steel Toe

I needed to change to a work boot without laces as my back just couldnt take the bending over 5 times a day to tie my laces. I went with this steel toe cowboy boot and I couldnt be happier. Break in was about 6 days and after that, this boot was super comfortable. I run a metal fabrication shop and Im on my feet 50 hours a week. On a concrete slab. So far so good with durability and comfort. I wear a size 10.5 sneaker. I went with a size 10 Ariat and the fit was perfect.

I use them bc they are very comfortable I am on my feet 10 hours a day. My feet dont hurt at the end of the day. I am an X Ray tech and always on different outdoor terrain I would recommend these boots to anybody who likes comfortable boots and if you dont like them you can return them for free. Thx for reading my comments on them

Anyone that works in any type of construction knows that work boots honestly dont last more than a year anymore. Ive had high end boots in the 400 dollar range that have lasted a year and everything in between. I oil boots on occasion (who has time to do this every day or even weekly) and treat the boots as good as possible when working. So I bought these boots because they had no material to rip out and extra stuff to go wrong on them. And they were cheap. SOMEHOW they lasted me 2 1/2 years. I will say at 2 years the sole did come lose and I glued it back and kept going. So I may have gotten lucky with my first pair but Im on my second now. Recommend buying a pair of insoles that match your arch if you want to really have added comfort unless you like the ones that come with it. The stock ones are fine I just have an high arch. Quit buying the expensive boots and get these they last longer and are better.

I have had these boots for about 5 years and they have been solid weekend work boots that have taken a beating. In the last year, the souls of the boots have begun to delaminate. Some glue fixed them for now. The rubber is starting to crack in a few spots but this has not affected its functionality.

The boots are comfortable and wear them every day.

Seems a bit tight for an EE, and not sure how much of the boot is leather. Over all so good so far.

I bought these boots about a month ago and I've been very pleased. Comfortable n rugged. These will easily last year!

Runs a bit big size wise but overall great quality boots.

I work highway construction and boots typically don't last very long. I would regularly replace other brand boot every 3-6 months. With these ground breakers boots I replace them every two. The first pair I purchased lasted longer than two years but the wear on them really started showing after two. But I would highly recommend these. Great boots that are comfortable after breaking them in after a few days.

Good boot. May have to condition leather to make water resistant

A gift for my husband and he loves them. They advertise soft leather but they seem to be very stiff so he keeps stretching them out. Likes them anyhow.

They look good The comfort is good All I can say is good

Really comfortable, everything I need for a hearty workboot.

My first time wearing slip on boots after 10+ years in lace up boots regularly. Overall a great boot. I always have issues finding the right sizes depending on the maker. Everything 8.5W to 10W, average 9. This fits pretty good, especially after a short but, comfortable break-in of about 36 hours total wear. Shaft is a little bigger than I'd like but not uncomfortable.

First time owning Ariat steel toe boot. Had to return for 1/2 size smaller.

Nice boot, not sure about sizing. 8.5 M too small, 9 M slightly too big??

Love the boots super comfortable,can walk on them all day at work and my feet won't hurt.

Although a little too big and wish I got half a size smaller. They are great boots all Around

My third pair of the same model. They usually last about 1.5 -2 years in my trade of refrigeration. That's a pretty good run . They are comfortable and easy to live with . Only thing is, I bought size 12 ( as always) but these seem looser than normal maybe I'm shrinking.

The pic shows a lighter color than what I received. Very dark. I read other reviews that said the same but just figured it was the leather they used for that boot. Apparently, it is for all this type of boot. It's a work boot so I really don't care about the color. I hope this pair lasts longer than the last pair I bought. The side split out and can't repair. I even kept them conditioned. We will see

I ordered these as a second pair of work boots for my boyfriend. They fit true to size. He said they are comfortable.

I keep ordering these work boots because they are comfortable and stylish

Feels good when wearing and everything is good about it. but i can only wear a few pants where it doesn't show the top of the boot

This is my second pair of Ariat boots. My other pair are leather soled with a thicker heel. I was looking for a boot with a rubber sole and lower heel that I could wear for work. I needed a lower heel as the thicker ones aggravate a hip injury. These are made well and look good. I bought them in a store so the issues of color and fit were no issue as I saw them in person and tried them on. I have already gotten compliments on my first day wearing them. They are comfortable to walk around in and do not squeak on floors. I am outside and indoors and these boots seem to be versatile in being comfortable, rugged, and look good when I need to be in khakis.

Im very pleased with these boots. The look great, and are comfortable. There wasn't a long break in period which is a plus. I was looking at Wolverines and saw these sitting next to them and looks wise there was no comparison. I would recommend these to anyone. I got a wide boot, which I've never had to do on any other boot or shoe. The regular width was not going to work for me.
