Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby Heritage Dapper

I love the design and color. Overall the fit is fine, though the instep is slightly narrower all around than other Ariat boots in the same size that I own, and the calf is pretty wide. Also, it has the traditional very stiff leather, and I would recommend some breaking-in.

These boots are beautiful and I love that I can dress them up or down at work. I have clear a metal detector and I love that they don't have a metal shank, and I don't need to remove my boots. The only thing with my specific pair it make a noise on my right foot. Almost feels like something isn't stuck right between the boot and the sole. But My other pair are just fine! Love them!

I love these boots! I have wide feet so I bought a 10 C. They are extremely comfortable and I didn't have any foot pain while breaking then in. This is my third pair of Fatbaby boots and when these wear out I'll buy another pair. It's so nice to be able to find quality boots that actually fit!

These boots were soft and comfortable the first time I put them on. The only issue I had was my right foot needed a half size bigger, because of a broken ankle years ago and could not get the 10 on. This is the only reason I did not give 5 stars.

Super comfortable!! I wear them with everything even just lounging around the house!! The color is darker than I wanted/expected and I thought about returning them but once I put them on I couldn't let them go!!

Fast Shipping, good quality boot, was a gift for my son and so far he has no complaints.

took a little bit to break in, so a little painful of a process, though most boot tend to hurt the first couple of weeks. overall, i love these boots and they're fitting for any occasion. i wear them most days

Purchased these boots February 11th and I am in love with them ! Theyre comfortable and beautifully stitched !

This is my second pair of Fatbabys, the first ones lasting almost 7 years of wear and tear until I finally wore a hole in the sole. I love these boots for the comfortability and ease of breaking them in, it didn't take hardly any time at all. They're perfect if you have wider feet because since they are round toes, they don't pinch at the top. The only issue I had with them is that they scuffed and faded quicker than my last ones did.. but otherwise they're great for every day wear around the house and the yard!

Love the shoe! Runs big ...unusual for ariat...still comfortable..just had to wear thick socks. Not slip resistant...

The Good, I really like the design, the stitching and the leather. These are really light boots not heavy at all. These are more like modern western boots it's like a fusion between western and biker/rockstar boots. They are square toe but with a thick snout it just makes it look a little different. The leather is thick and flexible on top, the outsole is some kind of semi rigid polymer. It is a very fashionable boot almost anybody can wear these and can be adapted to many types of outfit genre. You can wear these with a suit or just jeans and a t-shirt. I would not consider these work boots to me they are more of daily wear to office, light duty shop or just running around town. I would not use them as work boots I have been working out on the rough outdoors that requires to use steel toe and I have used many different brands and the abuse I give to them they only last around 6-8 months. There is only one old American brand boot that does give me at least 1 year of durability and that is what I have used for work for the last decade. I got this pair just as casual daily wear or to run around doing errands. I don't wear tennis shoes I wear boots 100% of the time. So this is the closest thing to me to a tennis shoe. These are made overseas, I love American made products but if a product is well made even if it is imported I don't mind spending the money on it. Now the Bad, the only issues I had with this pair, it is the instep it is narrow, I wear wide so to get my foot in the boot it is kind of a hassle but I manage. Because of my wide foot there is an overhang of the leather where the thickest part of my foot is (the ball) it becomes uncomfortable after a couple of minutes of wear. I am hoping with longer use the leather will break in and stretch naturally. I don't want to have to use the alcohol/water solution to stretch the fibers but if it's necessary I will do what I have to do. For now I am giving it time and use so they can mold to my foot. If the instep was a little wider and foot bed just a tad wider these would have been perfect. If these work out on the long run I will look into the work boot selection. I already wear Ariat FR shirts and pants so I might as well.

Hi! I recently bought these pair and they are absolutely adorable! The first pair I bought were a little too big but I still loved their look, my smaller pair is on the way! I have a pair of Ariat heeled pointed toe boots in a 8.5 size and thought the size would translate to these, I would recommend going down half a size if you didnt think to measure like I did! So excited to wear them when they get here!

I have been looking FOREVER for a cute boot that is wide enough to fit my wide feet and my wide calves. Thank you Ariat! The Fatbaby book comes in wide and it fits perfectly! They are so comfortable and stylish! I love them so much that I also got a black pair. For any girl with wide feet looking for a cute boot, these are it! Stylish, comfy and affordable!

I have wide feet and its really hard to find boots that are comfortable in wide. These were amazing. I wear them all day and they dont hurt my feet. They are so light and comfortable that Im not in a huge rush to take them off when I get home. I will definitely buy these again.

These boots are super comfortable for all-day wear and keep my feet dry even when slogging through ankle-deep snow+, mud etc. Also great at keeping my feet warm. So comfortable I even went for a short run in them! Their waterproof nature does mean that they don't breathe as well as non-waterproof boots, so the only downside to These is that after wearing them for awhile my feet get pretty sweaty. I typically wear a 11-12 women's shoe, narrow and these fit me very well in a size 11B.

The 1st pair shipped, the right boot was MUCH more narrow than the left boot. The 2nd pair shipped were a PERFECT fit (I am a size 10 wide normally, I ordered a 9.5 wide in this boot). The only complaint is that they look REALLY WORN (not weathered or distressed) right out of the box. The leather looks cracked and WORN.

Reliable boot. I have purchased this same boot 3 times over about 7 years. I generally get around 2-2 1/2 years of wear out of them. I like the look of the boot and the comfort of this style.

Love these boots! Very comfortable with no break in time needed. I bought these for the small non clunky style & for riding my motorcycle to keep feet warm. I just wear a pair of tbermal socks & my feet stay warm at 70mph. I have always had good experience with Ariat brand fitting well with comfort. The ONLY reason for the 4 star rating is because my left boot has a really bad squeak when I walk which is annoying otherwise I would have gone 5 stars. I would have sent them back for a replacement but had taken them on a bike trip & they were needed. They fit just a bit wide for me but that's fine because of the thermal socks I wear so not an issue. Im still recommending anyone to purchase these.

Its very comfortable. A little bulky but it feels really good. You can wear it all day.

This is a great boot to suggest for a customer that has wide calves due to its low shaft. It's a great all around boot that meets multiple purposes. From barn work to casual wear this boot looks great. Only downfall is that they do not come in a wide widths. This fact alone limits significantly the customers I'm able to suggest this boot to.

I love the boot it looked amazing. It felt amazing. It's such a beautiful boot. But , I'm so sad that I had to return it because I ordered a wide, and if it perfectly from the toe area but the n the heel , it ran way too wide and my heel kept completely slipping out of it. I didn't want to return it because I love the boot so much but I knew if I got a regular size and not a wide that it wouldn't fit me in the Toe area because I have such wide feet.

Crafted very well, durable, loved the leather and color.

I've been wearing these boots daily for around 3 months and was surprised at how well they performed for the price. I put a lot of demand on boots and these have held up. They are on my feet everyday regardless of what the day calls for: feeding hay, cutting wood, concrete floors, etc. The wide style is actually wide on the side and on top of the toe box, allowing for room to wear wool socks in the winter months. The soles seem thin at first, but you soon realize that somehow your feet don't hurt like they do with other boots. The only reason I didn't rate the boot higher was a slight bit of separation where the toe box leather meets the midsole. Having said that, I've never owned a pair of boots that would have performed better considering what these have been through. Especially for the price.
