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 isn't 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.

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.

I have 5 different pairs of Ariat Work Square Steel Toe boots. This pair was same size (12 D) and I couldn't get my feet into the boots. I have never had issues with Ariat sizing across styles but this time, very huge difference. Going to have to go up to 13 D.

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.

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 its too late to return these, just wish I could get my money back.

I purchased the boots about 4 months ago. I have worn them enough that the creases are permanent on the front of the boot. The still rub blisters on my heels. I have tried thin socks, thicker socks, cotton socks, wool socks, and liner socks. I would love to love these boots, but I just can't at this point in time.

I bought my pair 2 months ago and have worn them every day for work. I walk fields a lot and work around machinery so they met all requirements I needed. After having broken them in they have continued to rub blisters on my heels, bottoms of my feet, and big toe. I know I was sized properly and just can't figure out why they continue to rub. All the features have held up great just can't get over the fact that they are still blistering me.

I bought these knowing my boot size (whether it be military boots or other brands of boots) and knowing the exact size that's also too big as well (from a previous pair of similar Ariat boots). I immediately was excited to open the box and wear them. However, they were just about, maybe 1/2 a size to one size too small. For example, I wear a 10 in Men's in all the boot brands/types I have and the previous pair of Ariats I got a while ago were a size 11 in Men's. That pair of size 11 I have were too big and these that I bought were a size 10 were, again, too small. When available, I'm going to try the 10 1/2 size in Men's to see if that makes a difference. I still like the brand and this type of boot, it was just disappointing and shocking that they didn't fit.

This is my second pair of these boots. The first pair was the best and most comfortable ever. The sole was the best wearing and lasting that I have ever had. The boot leather finally wore out before the sole after several years of extreme use. I wear an 11D size. My new 11D's were still the same length as the old ones but the new boots slip in the heel.This is very annoying and uncomfortable. I was really looking forward to my new boots and several more years of use. It's pretty dissapointing. Really loved those boots.

This is my second pair of Ariats. My previous boot was the same exact pair and they fit fantastic and held up for almost two years. Hence why I bought a second pair. This second pair does not seem to fit quite the same way and is honestly a struggle to get on and off despite being the exact same size. So sizing may vary from boot to boot even within the same size.

Even though I ordered a wide width the boot was too tight across the arch. Could not pull boot on foot.

Insole is loose in one of my boots. Very hard to take off after putting them on the first time. I had to use a whatever I could find around the house to help pull them out. This is 3rd pair, but the first time this has happened.

The foot bed of the boot is not smooth,it's lumpy. Purchased the inner liners, which are barely an improvement on the original liners plus there is no arch support! They are better than Acme boots.
