Customer Reviews Ariat Cruiser

Just did not fit my foot properly.

I liked these shoes and they are very comfortable but an 8.5 was a little snug and the 9 slipped off my heel when I walked. I’ve had other Ariats and they wore great but this style just didn’t work out for me.

Cons: Heels too wide, slipped off when walking. Pros: I loved this style, and thought I'd wear them every where. Bummer about the big heels.

They're nice looking shoes and I love the style but they are NOT true to size. I wear a size US 11/EU 42 in most every shoe. The box arrived and said 11/EU 42.5 and they are a full size too big. I also ordered a pair of Sofft Billie mules in size 11. The box says 11/EU 43! I thought "Oh hell!" but they fit... I was thinking Zappos should use EU sizing on all shoes as well since I thought I could count on the EU sizing, but obviously not!

I'm very conflicted. I purchased these in an 8.5 Cheetah and a size 8 Camo. The size 8.5 Cheetah were very large on me and the size 8 Camo was quite small. This shoe does have a small toe box compared to the rest of the width. The other thing that I found interesting was that I ordered the size 8 in the Cheetah and it fit quite nicely. For reference I wear a size 7.5 dress shoe and typically an 8.5 Brooks sneaker (as I need the wider toe box width with a sock on.) I also wear a size 8 in Skechers slip-ons without my toes rubbing on the end of the shoe. The Cheetah with the turquoise accents and the Camo with the pink accents are both quite nice looking if you're into patterns.

I am normally an 8, tried the 8, 7 1/2 and finally the 7 fits!

This is a comfortable, casual shoe. I bought the right length, but they are a bit loose on my heel. Other than that, I'm happy with them.

Slipped on my heel

I wore them around the house for about 6 days before I could stretch out the forefoot area enough for comfort. It is because of bunions the area was too tight. I moistened the inside area around the bunion area and it did stretch. I won't go out in them until I am more certain how long I can wear them. I did not have trouble slipping out the back as some have mentioned. I ordered my usual 8M. If you need arch support these flats will not help you and that might be part of why they irritated my bunion area.
