Gave 3 stars because there is SO much room in the heel! The rest of the boot feels fine, but it's annoying my heel slides around! I love that it's waterproof, but would probably go for a different boot that has a better fit next time.

I made the mistake of looking to my old boots for the boot size, and the boots I got were too small. I measured my foot according to the size chart and I have ordered a full size larger. I am looking forward to getting them! The comment that they run small is because I used the wrong thing to size them. I have worn Ariat boots for many years.

Disappointed. I've worn Ariat paddock boots for 15 years and loved them. Even allowing for being new and the possibility my foot has changed over the years, I had trouble getting the zippers up, the leather was really stiff, and they were very tight across the toe box so I returned them and am looking at other brands.

The leather was very stiff and would take a while to become comfortable and pliable. In addition they were narrow for me at the ball of the foot.

The fit was fine but narrow through the ball of the foot. Leather was very stiff and seemed as though it would take a long time to get pliable.

These were wayyy too small. Well made; high quality; they just felt like they were three sizes too small. I made the mistake of holding onto them beyond Zappos’ generous one-year return window, thinking, “Well, I’m on a diet so eventually my feet will shrink.” Pffft. They did not. Yet another life lesson — Don’t buy / hold onto items of apparel that MAY someday fit. My thrift store loves me but my wallet does not.

The boot was comfy and true to size around the foot, but a bit stiff and narrow around the ankle. Wouldn't zip. Had to return.

Paddock boots are my favorite for everything! I have the lace up and have been waiting for zip to become available. Unfortunately, the ankle is very tight and the footbed is large. These are easy
for on/off, but too uncomfortable. i will stick with lace ups.

Bought these boots for my daughter and they were super narrow so had to return, ended up getting the Ariat Terrain boot instead which is super comfortable for riding and for barn chores!

I have been considering these boots for a couple of years as they always looked extremely comfortable but just never ordered them until recently. When I tried them on they were a little difficult to get on for starters hurting the top of my foot getting past the zipper. Once I got them on and zipped up they were so tight around my ankles that it was almost painful. I am tall and slim therefore I know that anyone with any flesh around their ankles at all would not be able to wear these as I certainly could not even with the side Gussets. I box them up and send them back, very disappointed.

I usually order the heritage III paddock boots but thought I'd give these a try thinking if anything they would be even better. These boots look great but feel much tighter around the top of my foot. I also found that the zippers jam up sometimes when unzipping because they get stuck on the tiny leather tabs that are lower than the zipper is. Also these take some breaking in and gave me blisters after one day of use. The heritage III boots were always comfortable the moment I slipped them on and didn't need breaking in. I'm hopeful I will love these after they're broken in but given the choice I prefer the heritage III boots. Still love Ariat boots!!!

Just got these . I've been wearing these Heritage paddock boots for YEARS When one pair wears out I order another. BAD NEWS is that with each new version the leather used gets thinner and thinner : so way less sturdy and wear out MUCH faster. These latest ones look borderline cheap. Good news is that these are a style you get in the rarely offered Wide.

I purchased these boots a year ago. I clean and condition them after every use. I unzipped from previous use and next time when I zipped up the claws of the zipper won't hold together. The zipper pully will slide up and down the zipper, but wont zip zip together any more. I Called customer service today to explain the problem and an associate just asked for my name, address, phone number and email. She then said someone will call me back. She was like a robot and had nothing else to offer.

I love these boots. They are perfect for winter riding. My feet stay warm and dry in them. They were comfortable out of the box...no break-in period needed. I wear a size 5 in a shoe and ordered these in a 5.5. The fit is perfect and allows for a thick sock. Perfect fit around my ankles. They are also stylish and can be worn for things other than riding or being in the barn. They would look great with skinny jeans or jean skirts.

I've bought Ariat boots in size 8 1/2 for over a decade. Sadly, this is the second pair I've tried that fits terribly -- in the same exact way. They're too wide in the heel. It's a very weird feeling, like being a little girl and wearing your mom's slippers. The first pair, I stupidly kept and now I have to wear socks with grips to keep my heel grounded. They were such great boots before -- what have they done?!

Totally Disintegrated. Cracked leather on top, blown out toes both shoes, tongue fell apart. I wear these 2x week and I'm shocked how poorly they've held up. I've barely had them a year.

I used to love Ariat, but these boots confirmed what I had been warned of, quality has gone downhill! I wear these 1-2 times a week, and, despite taking care of them, they have totally fallen apart.
The leather on the top of both boots has totally cracked in several places, the outside of the toe has blown out on both sides, and the tongues of both boots is ripping apart day by day and falling into itself. I've barely had these a year and I'm shocked how easily they fell apart.

I bought these a year ago and they have fully disintegrated, the leather split across the toe on both shoes (right on the crease) and tore apart from the sole. I could understand that if you used these daily or if they took a beating that they would have some wear and tear, but I barely use mine twice a week and they are trashed. Rather unfortunate because they are quite comfortable.

It was NOT as wide as advertised. I tried to call Ariat to get a refund and nobody got back to me. VERY unhappy client.

Terrible fit. Had to return. The boot did not feel like leather nor did it go along the line of the top of the foot. Hard to explain. It was just like putting on a short version of your dad’s boot when you were a small child or something?? Just a really bad fit. Sorry. Ariat is usually a decent boot. Rubber rain boots fit far better than this boot. Would be dangerous to ride a horse in this boot.

I purchased these on March 23rd and have worn them almost daily at work sinde they arrived. I clean them about every two weeks and use leather balsam and nikwax to condition and waterproof the leather. Already the leather has completely cracked and there are now large holes on the insides of the boots. For boots that are marketed as work boots this is extremely disappointing. My previous pair lasted me about two years of light use.
