Customer Reviews Ariat Wexford Waterproof Chelsea Boots

I purchased these boots for a trip to Scotland where I was prepared for rainy walks around cities. These shoes were comfortable out of the box and I really like the embellishment on the back of the shoe where the heel is a different color than the rest of the boot; it makes it look a bit dressier. The toebox was tight if I wore thicker socks, but thin non-cushioned socks were fine. Like other reviews, if you don't wear socks that come above the ankle, you will be in some pain. The ankle area is very stiff and not forgiving against skin. My first day wearing these with socks that did not come above the ankle of the boot left me with raw skin that was painful. I promptly bought shin-high socks that fixed that problem. I did have slight pain in my pinky toes after wearing these shoes for 8+ hours walking through castles and on uneven city streets, up and down city hills, probably from my foot sliding a bit in the toebox with the thin socks I had to wear to make the toebox feel comfortable. These are well constructed boots and look great though!

The shoe is heavy s as bd you need to wear it to break it in, before wearing them a long time

They were stiff. I'm not sure if they break in with time?! I had to return them because they were not wide enough.

Ordered the wide couldn't get my foot in! No amount of break in could have fixed it. Other than that, an attractive boot. But alas, it was returned for a lack of function. And apparently this site won't let any reviewers have the same name.

Java color is very rich and deep, it looks lovely. The boots feel well made. I normally wear an 8 regular but ordered an 8 wide after reading some reviews about the boots being narrow. It didn't help at all unfortunately, and the boots are very tight even when trying on with thin socks. I plan to try a size up (still in wide width) and see if there's any improvement.

Trying to find the right fit with these boots has been difficult I do not like a shoe that pinches too much in the toes but of course the first one that I ordered was very narrow in the foot and toe area so I ordered a wide and a half size up but the wide came in with little improvement in the toe area and way too much space in the ankle to where it was flopping around when I walked. Ordering for the third time in a size up and not a wide

I purchased these last year in the fall, they have held up very well. Unfortunately wearing them everyday has lead me to foot pain, even insoles didn't help me unfortunately. Great for a day or so, not so great for an everyday wear item.

I'm sad that these gorgeous looking boots aren't comfortable like the other 3 kinds of great Ariat boots I have. This Wexford boot is very stiff and has very little arch support, making my feet sore. I can't wear them all day, and definitely not to walk my dogs in hilly countryside.

I had bought these boots and really struggled with sizing. I have communicated honestly with customer service to say I have tested wearing the boots 4 times and they are too big despite being a half size smaller than my usual size. There is no ankle support. The boots are immaculate and hardly worn yet they will not accept a return so I can purchase a more suitable size. Considering the price it is disappointing.

I have 3 other pairs of Ariat boots and they are so comfortable!! The Wexford, not so much. I wear them because they weren't cheap.

Beautifully made but unfortunately the sizing was not right fit me. Java is a lovely colour.

The boots are the exact style I'm looking for, but there's not enough support and toe box is too small. They also run a but large. My heel also slipped with every step. The heel fit better with thicker socks, but still the toe box was too small.

Smart causual boots in soft comfortable leather, and they seem to be well made. However, I have to return them as they are too big. I ordered a UK 6 and the sizing is much too big, so much that my heel slips as I walk, and they seem to be about an extra inch in length comparing them to all my other size 6 shoes.

I bought these because they were cute. They are hard, no cushion and uncomfortable to wear for a full day!
