Customer Reviews Ariat Overdrive XTR Pullon H20

I loved the look of these boots but ended up returning them as they didn't offer the comfort I am used to. I work on my feet for 12+ hours a day and these caused knee pain.

Really comfortable, supportive boots. I typically wear Keen shoes, because they have a wide enough toe-box for me. Thing is, I have a wide foot, wide enough that I cant even slide into the wellington style boots that keen makes. I barely get into these, but I do get in. I wish Keen would use a wider neck on their wellies. These run a bit narrower, and I just barely squeeze into the Ariat EE wide. Honestly, if the boots weren't so kick-a$$, I would have called them too narrow. I'm glad I stuck with them, because they are breaking in nicely, and I have had no soreness wearing them all day. I do wish they would make the "pad" at the top of the heel a little more smooth or slippery. It catches a little on the edge as my sock slides in. In the least, they should have inverted that seam so an entering foot slides over it, rather than catching the lip of the pad. Smooth leather at that one slide-point would be my only wish.

Nice looking boot. I'm usually a 10.5 wide. I can work with an 11 medium (normal width). Ordered an 11 EE wide and it was really narrow. Will return for a new one.

Just so you can get a good feel for my feet, a wide in Carhartt boots and a wide in Keens are perfect. The Ariat's hurt when I put my feet in them. I can't imagine a normal size foot in these.

I bought this boot for my son who is a pipe fitter and needs substantial, but comfortable boots. We ordered the wide for him but it was not really very wide. He said the boot was the most uncomfortable boot he had ever put on, surprising for an Ariat. He said it was stiff and felt like there was no support in the footbed. I am an ARIAT fanatic--even wear Ariats with my dress slacks and suits as a teacher! Never a problem, but evidently, these boots don't meet the comfort and necessary wideness standard.
