Customer Reviews Ariat Groundbreaker Pull-on Steel Toe

Really liked these boots, fit good. However, within 2 weeks of wearing them, the soles started coming off of both boots. Returned and received a refund. Just wish they had been better made.

I bought these boots last Saturday, May 10th to be exact I asked for something waterproof something I can pull on and something that would last and was shown these. Fast forward to today I'm off of work trying to take my boot of for legit 15 minutes because this inner lining is moving around with my foot everytime I try to pull my foot out of the boot this is ridiculous after 5 days of use I stick to Ariat brand for my work boots and this was by far the absolute worst boot I've ever worn 0 stars.

Start has went way down hill they are just over a year old and they are falling apart at the soles!

Had them for about 2 weeks and the sleeve inside of them started coming out as I took my foot out the boot don't recommend them

Did not receive this product, poor communication between shipper and shipping company. UPS and Ariat don't play well together!

Just got them. Bought these to replace Durangos that I liked but fell apart well before their time. They feel very comfortable, and I'm praying they hold up better than other brands.

Inner lining detached after wearing them for less than a dozen times. No response for warranty return from email and unable to get anyone on the phone. Had a prevision version of this boot from 4 years ago and it appears they have changed something that caused the quality to go down.

i ordered these boots on november 30th we are now january 4 and still havent received my boots, i tried contacting customer service and i never heard anything back from them. I'm in canada but still it should not take over a month to receive a package, i'll never order anything from them again

I ordered the exact boot from a previous order. It arrived and was much smaller than the original boot. I sent them back and received a size larger. Fit was good but after a week and a half the heel began coming off the right boot. Customer service is fantastic but boot quality has gone away.

These boots are awful, the inner layer pops out everytime I try to take my foot out and then I have to sit there and fight it for 30 minutes. After I finally got it out I went to put them back on for work and the plastic was messed up and dug into my foot.

I purchased these boots about 3 months ago. The inner lining is not attached and slides up and down making this weird noise. The first time I wore these in the rain my feet got wet. Now the inner lining is worse and I struggle to take them off. Would not recommend.

For being as expensive as they are, they sure are terrible quality as of late. Literally about to stop wearing the one boot brand I actually like. I've had these boots for less than two weeks and the leather is already fading. I conditioned and water proofed them before use. This is completely unacceptable.

Bought 3 months ago and the boots are totally destroyed! Worst boots iEver owned!

Just after 2 months or wearing them they started to get hard to get off due to that insulation thing inside it had happend to me with my old ariat boots different model but had that same inside insulation or whatever it's called it's not glued to the boot itself it is loose and when trying to take off that thing wants to come out with your foot and gets stuck

i loved these boots very comfortable from the beginning for daily wear in maybe a shop would be good but out on sites are bad after time after 4-5 months the soles ripped off and water was leaking in them aswell of the inner lining falling apart making it impossible to wear comfortably

Not pleased at all order with these boots I ordered them in March now its June and it takes me and my husband working very hard to get his boot off due to the inside liner coming out....

I have bought 5 pair of these same boots I. The same size over the years. The last pair lost their waterproofing after a month. Trying to reach someone at customer service was impossible. When I did they offered a small discount on a new pair. When I said no they told me someone would call me and they never did. These new boots are smaller than all previous boots and I called to do an exchange and I was told they do not do exchanges and need to send back and reorder everything. This is stupid. I won't be buying from this company again.

Have used them occasionally and within one year sole comes loose Poor quality

They fell apart within three months the whole sole was falling off smh

The inside sole came out rubbing his foot into a callus. It is so painful he limps when he walks.

Bad work boots, side stitching tore open, Inside linning came loose, I normally get a full work season out a a good pair of boots, this were good for 4-5 months half a 3rd what good boots usually last.

I bought two pairs of these and the inside of the boot came off. I wouldn't really recommend these. Sucked because they were comfortable.

I have purchased 4 pairs of this boot over the last 10 years or so and was always very impressed with the comfort and quality of the boot. I purchased a new pair in October 0f '23 and the first time I put the boots on and took them off the liner on the rt boot pulled out. A replacement pair was sent out and now 3 months later the liner on the left boot has pulled out. Very disappointed and hoping to find out if they have identified the problem with manufacturing so that I know if I should get a replacement of the same boot or not.. Hoping to be able to update the review positively to reflect my history of wearing this boot.

After about two weeks of wear, the entire lining of the right boot came out with my foot. It now continues to do so every time I put the boot on.
