Customer Reviews Ariat Groundbreaker Pull-on Steel Toe

I am and have been a die hard Ariat boot and shoe guy but I bought these ground breakers and these are a absolutely terrible boot to wear I can wear my other boots all day no Issues and these after 15 minutes I can't do it anymore, my Feet feel like they are being squeezed in a vice and hurt for days after . I did try for a few weeks on and off trying To break them in but no luck so I'm in the market for another pair again and get rid of these

I have been buying these for 6 years. 1st pair lasted 2 years. Went downhill from there! Now I buy them every 6 months hoping the problem would get fixed. The linings come loose and you can't hardly get the boots off. It's sad because I love the boot until I can't get them off!! I have another pair I just bought in August and they are falling apart. I still have tags on them. I have tried many times to get in touch with customer service and always eternal hold with never a agent!! My original pair is still fine other than I wore the soles out. Did you guys go cheap on your products or what??

After like the second day wearing these to work the inside lining came loose and I can not get my feet out of them at all because the lining just rides up and bunches up with my feet. Very annoying because it's too late to return these, just wish I could get my money back.

I really wanted to like these boots. So much so that even after the first boot toe (almost immediately) started separating from the sole I bought a second pair. Now after 6-7 months I have 2 pairs of these that are essentially useless that is unless I want to walk around with my toe flapping. Buyer beware!!!

After the 3rd time wearing these the inside waterproof liner came loose and I could not remove the boot. I had to have the assistance of another person to help remove it from my foot.

The last pair I had was the best boots I've ever owned .But this pair ain't but about 2 months old if that and the soul is turning loose from the boot and they are not near as comfortable they rub blisters on my heals and they are the exact same boot exact same size

I purchased a pair on 8/20/22 on another website, they were delivered to me on 8/24/22. I wore these boots for two full days and on the second day the liner on the inside had become loose from the right boot. I came home from work and went to take them off and was highly disappointed to see that my right boot did not want to come off of my foot.

I have had several pairs of these boots. Like them. However I just bought a new pair. After wearing them 3 times I can't get my left foot out of the boot without help. The inside lining in the heal area is loose. Very disappointing

I have come back to write another review because my boots have managed to get worse. After continuing to rub blisters the left boots interior has come entirely loose and slides around all day while walking and is next to impossible to take off. Also they marked my initial review as having received a free product and I can tell you that is not true and I have not received anything. These boots went from being mediocre to absolutely terrible. Would not recommend buying.

Within 2 days of wearing the boots the sole began to split apart. Submitted 2 warranty inquiries with no response for over a week. Hoping one day they'll get back to me and it's only a 1 off defect because they were comfortable for the 12 hrs I used them.

I've been buying these boots for years, and they have worked great. Last year I bought a pair and they only lasted about 5 months. I thought maybe I just treated them badly. I bought a new pair and within a month the soul started coming off at the toe, the same problem I had with the previous pair. Unfortunately I will no longer be able to buy these boots has I need something dependable.

I liked the boots but the stitching around the sole messed up. Tried returning but don't have a receipt and the box is messed up. I'm disappointed in that as I've had a couple pairs of Ariats and never had that problem. Unfortunately I guess I'll have to look elsewhere bc I just wasted 180 bucks

The size is too small compared to other size 12 boots and I need to return but have yet to be able to do so. Can someone please help

The quality of the boot seemed decent, however I was unable to get them on my foot. I've always worn nothing but boots, so I know how they are supposed to fit. I ordered up in size due to these running small, but I could not get my foot past the ankle portion of this boot. My fiancee has an incredibly small foot (4 sizes smaller than me) and she wasn't even able to get them on. Maybe it's a defect, or maybe it's poor design. Either way... having to return them without ever getting them on.

This is my first pair of ariat boots. I chose these because I like some of their clothing so thought ide give them a try. I. An equipment operator so normally I can get a couple years out of a pair of boots from other brands. I hadn't worn these boots a total of three weeks and the lining came loose and can be very hard to take them off as they pull out with foot. Then when you put them on if you don't stuff lining in right it is very uncomfortable. Also not at all waterproof as walking in grass with a morning dew will soak your feet. Would not recommend. Tried to see if it was a warranty issue and got a reply that someone would look at my claim and despite attempts of reaching out again I have heard nothing. Don't waste your money on these.

Purchased these boots June 2020. After one year, the sole has started separating from the leather at the toe of both boots. I wear these boots almost everyday for work (landscaping). I wore these boots one day roofing. My feet were sliding and the inside material around the heels wore off. First pair of Ariat's I have bought, and I am disappointed. Would not recommend if you are hard on boots.

We LOVE Ariat Boots, but the pair I just ordered look NOTHING like the picture. Very disappointing!! Obviously several others have had the same problem. I would definitely recommend Ariat, but NOT this style!

These boots are terrible for work use, if you wanted to have them last you might just want to walk around on grass or have them be house boots, I work construction and always hear about ariat and how great they are, I had to return 2 different boots and ones I've only had for a month look like they went through a wood chipper because the leather they use is terrible and soft

I bought these boots and loved them at first. They're comfortable and waterproof, but like others have mentioned after about 6 months of occasional use the lining came unglued, and now it's a whole process to get them off. I reached out to Ariat about the issue and they didn't bother to respond. Poor quality product and even worse customer service.

I bought the EE Wide boot. It does not fit, boot seems to be more of a narrow/medium fit. Really like how the boot looks but very disappointed it does not fir the way advertised.

I ordered this boot in 10.5 wide, which is the same size as all other brand boots I have bought in the past. After wearing these for two days, the heel is slipping and feet are sliding all over the place in the boot. Appears to run a half size too big. 2 day old boots going in the trash bin. Won't be ordering this brand again.

Just had to send these boots back. Although they fit pretty well the color variation is what got me. It shows like a medium brown in the picture, the box shows a caramel color but the boot I got in the box was DARK brown. When I called about it they told me that the pictures online wouldn't match the boot and that if I wanted what was shown I was expecting too much. So buyer beware, if you want the boots to look like the picture don't hold your breath.

I've had these boots for a year and have only worn them a handful of times because the part around my shin is way to wide. I can only get some of the pants I have to go on the outside of the boot and even when I do it looks ridiculous and I have to constantly pull them down. I only wear them when I'm in the mud and tuck my pants in the boots. Also the lining is coming unglued and I have to pull really hard to get the boots off because it sticks to my feet.

I will be Returning this product it does not fit so I have to spend more time and returning and see if the next one fit.

The last two pair of ariat steeltoed boots I bought lasted well over a year. This pair not even a year and the soules are falling off. Definitely not what I expected from this company.
