Feel great, although they will have to be broken, which is true with all leather. Really stylish looking & can't wait to wear them! The heel is just high enough, but not too high. I am a 6.5 shoe size & that;s what I ordered & they fit perfectly.

These boots are so cute! The leather and color are gorgeous (I ordered red). I usually wear an 8 1/2 but I went with a 9 in these and they fit perfectly. The boots do have a rubber sole which some folks may not like but I was walking all over New Orleans in these so I appreciated the solid traction the rubber sole provided. Love them!

I own many Ariat boots and all are incredibly comfortable but the Darlin is very uncomfortable.

Love these. Nice in summer when I don't want to wear higher shaft boots. Also, I have thick ankles, these are high enough to cover my ankles and make my legs look great in a skirt.

These are very cute boots with nice padding on the foot bed. They run very short. the back heel section / back last I think it's called was unusually short. I guess Ariats are not for me.

Was hoping that this was just a reincarnation of the Billie style, that is my go to riding boot when the weather gets warm. Sadly not though. Heel is more narrow and set too far forward for comfort and stability. The Billie was both very stylish and functional. The Darlin is merely stylish. Very disappointed as I consider myself a hard core Ariat fan and have the boot collection to prove it.

I currently wear a 7 1/2 B in my Ariat boots, so that is what I ordered. They fit just like the ones I previously purchased from a local shoe store...PERFECT! They are true to size and simply fabulous! I have worn them to work and out and about and I get compliments on them non stop!!! They have quickly become my favorite pair of shoes!!

I have a closet full of boots but these are my absolute favorites! Although Ariat does a good job on the footbed, I like that it is removable for those of us who like our custom orthotics. Also, because they are leather inside rather than man made materials, they are enjoyable even in warmer weather. I usually wear a 7 1/2 or 8. I ordered the 8 and they were too big. The 7 1/2 fits great. I have had lots of fun with my Darlin red boots! These boots are not only super cute but also comfortable for all day walking. Now, I 'm trying to decide which additional colors I want.

Such a unique boot and the burnt sugar is a very pretty and versatile color. I feel it runs true to size, but the width felt a little narrow at first. I stretched them a bit by putting sandwich bags filled with water inside them, and put them in the freezer overnight. It stretched them just the right amount. I work in entertainment and am on my feet for 12-14 hours some days. My feet never ached at all!

Love the look and brand but I'm pretty sure my small ankles make this shoe just not look right for me.

Love these boots! Bought 2 pair different colors. Super comfy. I bought a half size bigger than my norm as I read they run small and they're perfect! Great product for the price.

No need to order full size up. I wear a 9 or 9.5 regularly. I wear a smaller size in Ariats normally.
I ordered a 9.5 & 10 The 9.5 was perfect with regular socks. There is a wider opening at the top but it allows for comfortable bending and walking. I'm super happy with these. I will wear with dresses, shorts and skinny jeans

These are absolutely adorable!! Love the deep red color, and in spite of being a little snug when I first put them on, they were very comfortable by the end of the day. AND I wore them an entire day. I ordered my regular Ariat/Frye size, and it worked.

I like my boots a lot. They are well made and comfortable. They seem to run quite true to size. My only complaint is that the picture shows a very different color than what I received. I ordered the Burnt Sugar, which in the picture looks luggage color. What I received is a lighter, more beige color. Since I do not see that color advertised I am assuming it is just a variation in the dye process. Not a deal breaker, but a little bit disappointing. :(

Received my order within a few days. I LOVE these boots. I ordered white which is so versatile with outfits. Love the non-skid sole and the easy entry with the side-zipper. They fit very nicely. Only wish they also came in a pale pink.

The Darlin Western Boot is perfect for any boot collection, I love wearing my black Darlins with country dresses, and they complement any outfit. They are very well made as Ariat boots are - this is my third pair of Ariat boots. They work well with my wide calves and they are true to size. There was a break in period, as they were slightly uncomfortable along the upper sides of my ankles, but this went away with use, as they molded to my feet. Many boots require a "break in" time. They were perfect for my photo shoot of my 28th wedding anniversary.

This was a gift for my wife. She happens to have exceptionally good taste in everything and fashion in particular. I bought her a size 7wide . Fit her beautiful feet perfectly and she quickly loved them. She says the soles feel deceptively comfortable and soft for a western boot as solidly built as these Darlin boots. On her I find them to be ruggedly classy yet feminine and cute This was a great gift I chose .Ariat helped
make it possible ! Especially after searching and comparing other boots on line.
Happy husband, happy wife
