Just bought these boots and I love them! At first they were a little tight at the very top - pretty uncomfortable, but after a couple hours of riding they fit like a charm. They are very warm and my normal size had enough room for thick socks. They look sharp, too - I got lots of compliments! I haven't worn them in the rain yet so I can't speak to how waterproof they are but I wore them for several hours in 30 degree weather and my toes stayed toasty warm. Definitely recommend!

I love these boots! Immediately comfortable and broken in. I can fit thick fleece-lined breeches and thick socks in these boots with no problem. They are nice and warm. I wore them during a lesson in 50 degree weather. Seemed a little hot for a few moments with my thick wool socks but they didn't make my feet sweat and soon felt just right. The size 8 fit like Ariats usually do on me (about a 1/2 size larger than other brands) but great for thick socks.

Struggled to find a long boot that fits a shorter leg but would offer the support that a long boot gives - we found it! The boot is warm and won't work for our hot California summers but will be perfect for fall through spring. Comfy, supportive and quite attractive. An innovative boot!

I had to return them as they were too tight in the calf and could not zip them up. My calf is an extra wide. The liner was fleece and they felt as though they would be warm My friend has them and loves them, that is why I tried them. Foot was comfortable. Easy return

Tight around the top of the boot. I was hoping this boot would fit like the Ariat Brossard Boot. I loved that boot. This boot fits a bit snugger than expected but very very snug at the very top even with loosening the band. The foot fits appropriately to size but the calf needs a little extra room. These are a winter boot and should allow for winter breeches.

I have ridden in these boots about a dozen time. They are the most comfortable tall riding boots I have, plenty of toe room. Very warm. I can change the weight of my socks to match the weather and my feet stay warm. The only con is the zipper gets stuck if i zip it down to the very bottom. I get around this by not going below my ankle, and can still get my foot in pretty easy. A friend got a pair the same time i did, and had to exchange them because the zipper just wouldn't work for her. I wish Ariat's cowboy boots were this comfortable.
I get lots of complements when I wear them.

These boots seem well made, but are way too short for me (I'm 5'6"), and way too wide (12.5" calves). I'll be returning them.

Great quality, well made however the zipper is tough to zip and does not go close on top 100%. Luckly it has a snap that covers the zipper. My calves are not large and never had this problem with talk boots. Going to keep them tho!

These are perfect except the calf width should be a bit wider. The very top of the calf is pretty tight and I measured my calf before ordering. The rest of the boot is great!

Very nice boot. Comfortable from the start. Am only reserving the 5th star as it hasn't gotten cold enough to truly test drive them and only time will tell their longevity. So far I am happy with the purchase.

I've always really liked the Extreme H2O line - they are incredibly warm, even in single digit temperatures. The quality and warmth of the boots was great, however, the height was just a bit shorter than I'd like.

This is a beautiful very functional Boot but unfortunately, not exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for something more fitted around the ankle and calf. I did need to return it. I did need to return it. But the return process was very simple and I was refunded very quickly.

These boots are super comfortable and really warm. Wore on a riding trip to Iceland. Only complaint is that they are too tight around the calf, I was barely able to use the top snap without discomfort and I have average calves. These would be perfect if they were a little more adjustable at the top. If you have a muscular calf... forget it.

Great boot, very warm but not the most flattering for petite ladies. It's short enough that it does go on my leg but it does that bunching up at the ankle.

These would get a 5 star if they came in a little wider calf. It has an elastic band around the top that makes it a little too snug, but otherwise the boot is a perfect fit.

Live my boots. Keep my feet warm and dry. Only complaint was the zipper on the right boot was very stiff. I initially had trouble zipping and unzipping the right boot. I worked with the zipper over a weekend and was able to get it loosened to the point I could zip and unzip with the boot on. I'm am very hard to fit and Ariats are the best fitting boot for me I have several pairs.

Lovely boots. Keeps me warm on these frosty fall mornings and the waterproof is a godsend. Only reason I'm eating 4 stars is that I wish they were taller. Comfortable boot but I feel it works better as a work boot than a riding boot

I absolutely LOVE these boots! So comfortable that riding in them is like riding in my regular paddock boots. Plenty of room in the calf area for extra socks (altho i do have skinny legs...). Pretty warm too. They did get a little wet inside when walking around in wet snow today, so i'd say they're not completely waterproof. (That's the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.) Still, for most days, they'll do just fine. Very happy i bought them!

I bought these for riding the winter of 2019. I found them to be too short to ride in and actually considered consigning them but am so glad I did not! I have used them as my go-to in cold weather for all sorts of purposes and absolutely love them. My daughter has borrowed and loved them as well, so I am getting her a pair for Christmas this year (and getting myself a pair of Bromonts to ride in because she loves hers)!

I really like these boots but cannot zip them all the way up and don't think I have huge calves (I wear a size 10 jeans and am pretty proportionate). PLEASE make them in a wider calf! I can't wear the Bromont field boots fox hunting and these would be ideal.

I bought these for snowy wet Chicago winters. They are great, but it's always hard to latch the top button and zip the zipper all the way up. I think they need to have a taller shaft, because lower on my leg there is an excess of room. If they added maybe an inch these would be perfect. When I was riding I would always have to order talls so this makes sense.

I'm trying to replace my first pair that have served me well for many years of winter riding in New Hampshire, The calf needs to be wider. I tried my normal size and couldn't zip the boot all the way up. This is very disappointing since my old pair kept my feet very warm all winter. They were my favorite winter boot for anytime I was out in the snow and cold, not just riding. Please make these in a wider calf width like you do in your regular riding boots. It's just too cold to ride in non-insulated boots.

I would love to have this pair of boots, but I can't zip it up all the way in socks alone, nevermind fleece-lined riding breeches!

I tried these gorgeous boots on at the tack store today. I would have bought them instantly, but could only zip them up halfway because of my wide calf. I ride horses and do chores so my calves are muscular. Please make these in wide widths. 10 and 11 wide especially. The footbed and ankle fit great, but there's no stretch so I couldn't get them zipped. They were only too narrow in the mid to upper calf area. So bummed because these are high quality boots. Love the suede on the inside for riding.

Great boot. Comfy enough to wear all day. Grippy for riding and easy to hose off at the end of the day
