Customer Reviews Ariat Darlin

These boots are super cute, I bought them to wear for my wedding. I wish they had them in a wide, they run small. I sized up thinking they would work but sadly they were way too narrow and uncomfortable.

I ordered this boot specifically because it came in a Wide to accommodate tailors bunions I have on both feet. I don't feel it is any wider than a medium width.

Lovely boots the colour was darker than expected by the advertised picture. Also quite small made. I would normally take a size 6, purchase 6.5 to be safe but would need a 7-7.5. Returns were a lot more difficult than expected, took a few days getting the assistance thats offered. However once Ariat were organised all went smoothly. Awaiting evidence of the return and refund.

I love the way these boots look and they appear to be well made, however they were just not comfortable for me. I really wished they would have worked out.

These are made in Indonesia. The leather is just noticeably poor in quality. It's that compressed, plastic-y type leather that breaks instead of stretches. It smells more like chemicals than leather. It's not supple at all, it's hard and dry. It's such a shame because the boot design is absolutely adorable. I just wish their manufacturers in Mexico made a higher quality version of this boot. I have wide-feet, and even when I ordered the wide version it was still way too tight. The size wides were more narrow than other ariat boots in medium. If you have narrow feet, order the normal width. If you have medium feet, order the wide. If you have wide feet, stay away. :-(

I wanted my first pair of Western boot, and I think the Darlin style s adorable and irresistible. I have a guilty conscience for succumbing as I avoid products that involve animal cruelty or exploitation in the making, including the promotion of Western rodeo culture. But I love the equestrian element of Ariat that respects horses. I bought the wide in black, and looked forward to experiencing the great comfort I read about in reviews before I bought these, but they are uncomfortably narrow, though I am hanging in there with breaking them in, hoping they will stretch with time. They are hard to get into, I have a good instep which makes the top of my foot hard to slide into and I will never be able to wear anything but the slimmest sock. They seem to be high quality craftsmanship.

Great fit! Wore them with my mother of the bride dress! Also great with jeans. Good quality leather and color. I got the red ones.

This boot is cute but not worth the money. Rubber sole, and fake leather . I would've returned them , but I needed them for an upcoming event.

It's wonderful but the arch didn't fit. Too tight even in wide.

They are pretty. Heels a little higher than I expected. Small fit.

I ordered wide and still couldn't wear them. I love them and would really love wide to be really wide So sad I would order larger size but they are not available

My red Darlin boots came in the mail today. Sadly I will have to return them as they are way too small, both in width and length. Typically size 11 shoes/boots fit me perfectly. These were marked 11 but seemed more like a 10, a full size smaller. Other than the size they are absolutely adorable.

I just opened these and they are so beautiful! I was very excited to try them on. They are also extremely well made. The leather is gorgeous. But, unfortunately, they are so wide on the shaft for a 12B/reg that I didn't even need to open the zipper and I am not sure why it is even included. This boot falls off unfortunately. Sometimes shoemakers need to understand that even though the foot is longer, it doesn't mean that the ankle or calf needs to be upsized. This happens with a lot of boots. If you have wider calves, you may really like this boot. I was just swimming in them. So so sad to send these pretty things back.

Not comfortable..very stiff & too narrow
