Customer Reviews Ariat Groundbreaker Wide Square Toe H20 ST

The fit is reliable and dependable. I tear them up in less than 3 months, but i work hard. I buy them over and over because they are a good fit.

The Groundbreaker steel toe workboot is much stiffer than the previous Rambler square toe work boot. It may offer more protection in the workplace, but is stiff initially. Perhaps it will soften with wear. Ariat, please bring back the Rambler Square Toe workboot.

Great boot but too big around the toe area. Nicely made though!

I wear these daily but on the first day of use the lining detached at the heal. I will say they are comfortable however. I wish I could get them fixed but live n learn

Needs cushion in the heel area. Otherwise a great boot

Perfect for my boyfriends work boots, he loves them!

After wearing these boots for 3 months, not only was there the issue of the heal disconnecting as other reviewers have mentioned. The waterproofing that this boot is advertised to have seems to not be able to hold up to standard. Additionally, now while wearing the boots I can feel the steel toe rubbing against me feet making it very uncomfortable. I was reached out to via email by the Ariat team after sending in my first review. In the email they said it would be possible to issue a refund since the quality was not there. When i attempted to get a refund on the boots, it tells me I can't get them refunded because my return period has already expired. It has only been 3 months! I have just sent them an email hoping for them to respond and do right by their customers but felt the need to write this second review as well. I hope you guy at Ariat can actually help me. I love the brand, and the usual quality of your products, but this has me second guessing whether i should still buy your products.

Boots are extremely comfortable, but the liner isn't attached to the interior causing it to slide while walking and making removal a time consuming headache. I wish they would sew in the liner to prevent this.

It's a nice boot, exactly what you'd expect from the brand but for a work boot the leather up high is really very soft so I'm not sure how it'll hold up

Absolutely horrible quality and the same customer service. After purchasing this boot and wearing for almost a year, I was happy with the durability so I decided to stick with the same product. Unfortunately our new boots were peeling from the heels only 1 month in. Reaching out to Amazon about our issue they would not accept an exchange because it was 4 days out of the 30day warranty. Thinking no problem we purchased from the official Ariat store they would certainly take care of us under their 1 year warranty. After getting a run around on the phone for an hour we were basically told if they are not purchased at an Ariat brick n mortar or their online site directly they would not honor the warranty. A complete waste of $190! its just sickening how companies have figured out how to manipulate consumers with their warranty process. I had the same issue with Wolverine so I made the switch to Ariat. Forced to move on we had to purchase another pair of $200 boots only 2 months apart. As a small business owner working in landscaping, paying $400 in 2 months could have covered a piece of equipment so we can get ahead. Instead I have pay this amount just to walk out the door- just appalling!

I at first accidentally ordered the wrong size and Ariats shipping department did an amazing job of getting the correct size out to me very fast and hassle free. Sadly everything good ends there. I have loved Ariats work boots for several years now and it's all I wear, but this boot was an immediate problem. The inner lining came loose from the boot itself and moves around as well as comes out when you take the boot off. Resulting in the boot being practically impossible to remove. Much like a Chinese finger trap. Making the inner lining material bunch up and cause pain in my feet. I understand things happen and have tried contacting customer service, but all I have received is silence. I'd say excellent shipping service, poor product quality, and so far horrible customer service. This boot and experience is going to make me look at other brands.

I love these boots and this is my third pair of them but this pair is 8 months old and the inside of the one boot is coming up causing it to not want to come off. The other boot isnt far behind either as I can feel it slipping each time I take it on and off

My first pair of Ariats lasted nearly a year without any issues. My second pair lasted about 3 months before the lining came loose. Ariat covered boots under warranty. I replaced the second pair with the same boot in july, its now October and the lining has came loose on this pair. I have to use a yardstick to remove them. Other than the lining issue, I'm pleased with Ariat boots.

I love the look and comfort of these boots. Unfortunately they never see. To last. I work on a farm and these boots lasted less than 6 months. The boots are lifting fro. The bottom and the soles are completely destroyed. I wont be recommending these again unfortunately. Very disappointing

These boots are great once you get them on, but the last 3 pairs I've owned I run into the same issue. The inner lining at the heel comes loose and I need my wife to help take my boot off! I then have to get by with using a shoe horn every time I take my boot off. Ariat is better quality than this, but I read the reviews and see the constant problem with their boots. Such a shame, because I love to represent the Ariat brand proudly!

These do run at least a half size big so I made sure to buy half a size smaller. I was nervous because they felt so tight at first but after a couple days of wear, they are the most comfortable boots Ive ever owned! Been wanting these for a long time and hoping to keep them for just as long.

Last few seem to be running small all my other boots are 8 1/2 and I started out with 8 1/2 that fit great next pair I had to go to 9 reordered 9 on last pair and couldn't even get me foot to make it half way through not sure if it was mislabeled or sizes have changed

Bought these boots back in December and they were as most ariat boots very good. But Im late march they felt like I had no sole, walking felt as I was walking almost barefoot. I walk almost 8-10 hrs a day at work and Im up and down ladders most of the day and these boots wore out quick. Since Ive had this job Ive always bought ariat boots and these were a disappointment.

Great fit and design. Had an issue with the inner lining beneath the steel toe not being attached properly on one boot, reached out to customer support and got a case number and never heard back from anyone. Had no choice but to wear them anyways for work but aside from that they are pretty decent. Would've been a 5 star for me if the lining was good and if i had someone reach out. Surprised i haven't heard from anyone. Ive got multiple pairs that are great and purchased my fiance and daughter their first pair of ariat boots along with this purchase and they are very happy.

Really good boot Ive seen a lot of complaints, saying that the inner liner gets stuck around the foot so I bought my husband a wide they are perfect. He has not complain one time.

Not as comfortable as other ariats I have owned. Hard on my feet and make them hurt

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??

Just purchased my first pair of the Groundbreakers. The first other than Wolverines in over 45 years. I do a lot of walking in my line of work. Hopefully they work well for me.
