Leather is high quality and boot is put together very well. Leather finish is very soft to the touch but prone to rub mark discoloration. These marks disappear with mink oil with minimal to no effort. No blisters but did take a long time to break in due to stiff sole and thick leather which I'm sure will help with longevity. Solid work boot with great support, could use a little more padding in sole but overall comfortable even after long days of being on my feet. I wear a 12 in pretty much everything and these boots are no exception.

This is my second pair of Ariat boots and I love them. Excellent quality, soles and uppers wear very well and hands down the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned.
These took about 4-5 wearings before they broke in and now it’s like not wearing anything at all.

This is my first time wearing this brand. I have had them a couple weeks and so far, I Love them.
They are just starting to break in and hit the real comfort zone. The boots are pretty stiff out of the box. Its worth the wait.
The padded tongue is soft and comfy.

Great Boots, the pull loop at the back is large enough too.
Size runs true.

The other reviews are pretty accurate; This is an all around good boot. It's not as comfortable or supportive as it could be due to a lack of cushioning in the sole, but also due the sturdiness of construction and materials. I'm hoping that in the coming weeks they break in. If you're on your feet all day and don't need a lot of protection, I'd recommend a lighter weight boot. Anyway, a thing to be aware of... These boots run narrow. I ordered the EE wide was surprised at how narrow they are. If I had gone with the standard width, they'd be uncomfortable. I'm also generally a size 13 and ended up exchanging for a size 12. Style is fine. They don't feel heavy like you're lugging weights around. Let's just hope they're durable.
I'd also recommend:

I have worn these boots almost every day for over 3 years now. They are definitely now beginning to wear down, but only because I have worn them so much and they still work great! I have honestly been amazed with the quality of these boots considering how much I have worn them. I have never had a boot/shoe that has held up so well. I will definitely be buying a new pair for the next few years!

I bought these boots for my husband and he has nothing but good things to say about it. He tends to be picky with a lot of his clothes and he absolutely loves these boots. Great for every day wear.

When I find something that works I stick with it. I just received my 14th pair. They are comfortable and wear well. Fairly quick break in time. I'm on my feet all day and use a shovel a lot and the dense sole doesn't break down like most boots. True to fit. I can't find them in stores anymore so I have to order online.

These shoes are AWESOME! They are true to size and come almost broken in.
Did a bunch of work in them the first few days and no hot spots or discomfort

I needed new work boots and decided to try the Ariat Groundbreaker. After pulling a couple long days (wearing the boots from 5:00 AM to Midnight) I can honestly say these boots are comfortable and have actually relieved some foot pain that probably developed due to my old boots being so old!

These are my favorite boots for everyday wear. Classic design, comfortable and reasonably durable. You can't go wrong.

I bought these for my husband who told me thse are the very best workboots he has ever had. Comfortable yet quite stylish, they elevate the work experience by being both. He look forward to wearing them daily.

Good work boot. I am on my feet all day and they are working out pretty good. Going from a boot to a lace up is a little different. Overall great lace up boot

2nd pair of boots, they are very comfortable. I walk a lot outdoors in thick Texas brush. Due to my job I walk a lot in all types of terrain and have never had issues with these boots. They are made well to last. The only plus I would add is making them waterproof.

These boots are easy to break in, like within a second time of wearing them. I have had three pairs now and will continue to buy them as long as Ariat continues to make them. They run on the bigger side; I usually wear 10.5-11, but I wear a size 10 in these boots.
