Customer Reviews Ariat Groundbreaker Wide Square Toe

I pulled them out of the box, put them on, and went to work. I never took them off all day and I wear them now every single day. Comfortable, durable. Great work boot.

I liked it but the they were too long and not wide enough. Had a gotten a smaller size for length the width would have been off even more. Nice looking boot though.

These boots are perfect! My son was injured and wasn't able to wear his cowboy boots. Once he recovered these were the first boots he tried on and they were a perfect fit!

Unlike many work boots these were not heavy clod-hoppers. They were surprisingly light with a softer type of rubber sole that doesn't clunk around on every surface that you walk on. The sole which has a 1inch heel also makes it more comfortable for the knees when doing a lot of walking on concrete and asphalt. The wide toe box gives plenty of room for the feet but also makes the boot a little larger than normal. I found I had to go 1/2 down from what I normally buy in boots and I have normal to slim D width feet. The leather on the shoe part seems thick and stand up well to constant knocks and friction at work. The boot is fairly breathable, I did not buy the water proof, and my feet do are not getting overheated in the hot and humid summers. Agin the weight of the boot is nice and light. I barely know I have boots on my feet through the day. A handsome, comfortable, but tough boot for work. I am happy with my purchase.

Just picked up another pair of these my favorite pair of Ariats you can do anything with them. They are very comfortable and lightweight and durable. You can never go wrong with Ariat and this style get a pair today and see what I mean. Ariat is #1.

I have owned three pairs of this same style. I wear a 12D in all. This last pair I ordered was way to tight over top of my foot. Leather although I liked look , did not reflect the picture in website. It was darker and appeared to have more sheen/polish. All past pairs have fit like a glove, this last pair was just a tad too tight, and did not loosen enough so either the leather used did not meet normal spec or was cut a tad too much or sewn a bit too tight. I normally wear 13 but in my past three boots the 12D has fit like a glove.

This is by far the best work boot I have ever owned. I purchased my first pair of these in 2014 and just purchased my third pair in February of 2026. These boots are great quality and offer great all day comfort! I've only replaced these boots due to physical appearance from my lack of maintenance, other than that, they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Highly recommend for anyone looking an everyday, comfortable wear.

Just bought another pair of these and once again Ariat you did not disappoint. These boots are comfortable from the time you slip your foot in the boot. I use them for everything I do and they last a long time. If you are looking for the most comfortable boot these are the ones. Thanks Ariat for making excellent boots and please don't stop making this one.

I'm going to keep buying these for work, I like them

Great fit and look exactly as advertised! Fashionable and comfortable

Love these boots. So comfortable, I love the lower heel for stability; i wish the made more "non-work" boots with lower heels. I've worn them for general yard work, "around the town", up on the roof (mistake, shingles were hard on those), out in the field prepping hunting, and even for a firearms course. So comfy I'm considering a second pair that I don't beat up. Like all Ariats, they run a half size big. Normally a 10.5 shoe, these are great in a 10. They also run pretty roomy width wise.

Picked up a pair of these today and wow are they comfortable. Put them on in the store after I paid for them and walked out had them on all day with no pain. They feel broken in already. Ariat Boots are the best on the market I never wear anything else but Ariats

My boyfriend had a pair of the round toe version of this boot and decided he wanted the square toe. Switching from the brand name that starts with "T" (which absolutely killed his feet) he hasn't complained once about these boots!

I bought these to replace another brand's work boots. This is my 2nd pair of Ariat boots, and the first ones sold me for life. Light and sturdy. And I work as an engineer in a 111-year-old steamboat, so they get put through their paces.

Very satisfied with purchasing and amazing quality.

Great boot. Fit is on point with size. Comfortable sole, durable. Highly recommend this as a work boot.

Just picked up another pair of these and once again Ariat has amazed me again. I put them on as soon as I paid for them and the comfort was unbelievable. I have had these before (4 pair) and have put each pair through the test and they have passed each time. I usually put the energy max insoles in that gives them a bit more cushion. The heels are a one inch which helps with my knees and back. If you want a pair of boots that will carry you through the day try a pair of the Groundbreaker. Ariats are the best .

Well picked up another pair today of the groundbreakers and wow the comfort you get from them is awesome. I have two other pairs of Ariats and just wanted something a little bit softer and less shock up the legs and back, and these were the ticket. I bought them in the morning and had them on all day with no problems and no tired feet or legs at the end of the day. Go out and get a pair and see for yourself you will be amazed. Thank you Ariat this is a great boot.

Best boot ever. Been on craziest adventure and hardest work ever. And still going strong.

Good fitting boot, conformable to wear all day, seem well put together, no slip tread us deep, seems like it will last

This was my second pair of ariat boots and I can't say enough. I needed a boot that didn't have a chunky heel and I could abuse them a little but. These boots have done it all. They are roomy enough for a heavy sock and snug enough to wear a normal sock as well. I have put these boots through a fair amount of work and play and they have only gotten more comfortable. I highly recommend these boots !

I just recently purchased the Ariat Work Groundbreaker Pull-on Soft Toe Round Toe 10.5 Wide boots and love my first pair of Ariat footwear. The boots fits perfectly and comfortable at work, farm and casual for me. Thank you Ariat

Got this for my blue collar husband to update his work boots. He says they're better than the ones he's been buying on repeat.
