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.

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.

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.

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!

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. :(

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 normally do not leave reviews yet these boots were an exception. I got these for my wife, who is rather new to western boots, and she loves them! They look fantastic! The distressed leather is exceptionally nice, and the dark color is wonderful. The fit was near perfect too.
The one thing I would note, DO NOT use a silicon spray on these boots!
It strips out all the oils in the boots due to the alcohol and the boot will get light tan splotches all over them. I made this mistake at a request of my wife to waterproof them. I thought we were doomed to trashing the boot (at which point I was going to repurchase them as they are so nice). But, no thank goodness, Leather Conditioner fix them right back to looking new! So if you are going to treat the leather on these, only use Conditioner and they will easily last a life time.
As cited we love these boots! I would totally recommend them! Super well-made and well worth the price!

I normally take a UK size 5.5 extra wide, so I ordered these boots in a size 6 wide, they were not quite wide enough so I returned them and ordered a size 7 wide instead. These fit beautifully, I don't mind them being a little long in the toe! They are gorgeous boots, comfortable to wear, and to line dance in. I am very happy with my purchase, and the delivery and returns system was super fast and easy to use.

These boots are excellent quality! I'm very happy to have gotten them at sale price. Thought they would have been more red- as they are definitely a brown burnt reef.

Just fab to wear under my boot cut Ariat jeans. Needed a bit of wearing in before they became comfortable.
