Customer Reviews Ariat Intrepid Venttek CT

I got my husband a pair last year about 6 months of wearing them the sole split across the bottom of the boot. I don't know if it was a defect or just the way the soles made. He loved the comfort of the boot because his feet were able to breath. He doesn't wear same boots everyday he swaps out between these and his Redwings. I'm going to buy these again. I hope I don't regret it and the boots hold up like they should.

These have not lasted very long. I have only had them for 4 Months and the sole is wearing down and heel is separating. The uneven wear on the heal is so uncomfortable and unbearable at the same time. I had to hang these boots up after paying a pretty price after 4 months.

Boots seemed fine at first, but quickly wore out. Both toes have massive cuts showing the safety toe. Also the inside heel pieces quickly unravel and start rubbing blisters.

This boot is cool looking. The right side is comfortable but the left side has some very hard edges inside around the toe area. Making it painful to walk. The U- shape heel makes it very difficult to slip your heel inside as your putting on the boot. I like it but just wish I could wear it.

I've owned several pairs of these, and obviously liked them to continue buying them, but this time (2023) the same size I've always bought them in didn't fit correctly at all. Way too big length & width wise. I ordered a smaller pair & returned the others, and after a painful break in period they're coming around. Overall I'm pretty disappointed in how the QC has clearly dropped off over the years. Also, they added some weird texture pattern to the "leather" that looks like dollar store snake skin. So be prepared to look like a goofball till that wears off.

I have high hopes that I can work them in but they do have an uncomfortable stitch line inside the boot just above the ankle. Wore them twice and had to take a break for awhile.

I purchased this boot from a retailer less than a year ago. I loved the pull on style and comfort strait out of the box. The tread is aggressive enough for mud and snow traction. I took care of the boots with mink oil on a regular basis which I thought would help with longevity but I had leather separation on both boots in the same spot where the boot meets the soles. Not surprising that when I tried to get them replaced and returned at the retail store that I bought them, they wouldn't help me out. I contacted Ariat support and they were willing to work with me to get them replaced under warranty. Hopefully this review will help them figure out how to make these more Stout.

The boots are super comfortable but the heel on the inside is already ripping out after 3 months and for 240 bucks they should hold up a lot better

Bought these around a year ago and took what seems like many months to break in, almost to the point of giving up on them. After broken in they were Ok until they started falling apart recently

Loved the way the boot looked. Needed a good work boot for the ranch. Read a few bad reviews but decided to try them anyways. Boot was a terrible fit as the safety toe was pushing hard against my foot.

I bought these last year. They are good for dry environments not wet. The soles are glued to the leather not stitched. Sole seperated once they got wet.

This boot is awesome, except for the composite toe is too narrow. Ariat.. if a person has wide feet. Then make a wider toe area to go with it.

I have had these for a year. Soles are cracking. I expect better wear out of these. With the construction Process, you can't even get these re-soled. Expensive "Throw away" Boots......

I have had this boots for over a year still look new because I don't like the way you can feel the toe. Very annoying.

I had these boots for 7 months the boot holds up but the sole cam off the boot, for as much as these boots cost to work in figure they might last longer I have had cheaper boots last longer than these comfortable boots though

Size runs ok, tread does not last in a truck shop environment tread splinters and rips off. Do not recommend for shop environment

Upon receiving my boots I noticed a couple things like the fitment. They really didn't fit my foot right. I definitely wasn't happy with the cost compared to comfort.

I brought these and they are breaking apart from the heal to the front of them and the bottom of them. The quality of them are not very well. Before buy them the reviews said they would do that and I thought maybe just a bad pair so I tried them anyway that was a big mistake.

Not comfortable at all, normally I love my arait boots. I own 4 pair. However this is the first pair that actually hurt my feet. The toes are a weird shape and the composite cover cuts into my toes. And a wider boot would be to big. So now I'm stuck with boots I'll never wear again.

Boots suck, don't waste your money. Go with the Big Rigs.

I previously had a pair which were great boots but obviously wore out with time. So I purchased another pair that were the exact same size. They didn't fit they're huge. And I already had removed the tags etc because who wouldn't expect the same exact size to fit that did before. So my mistake. They're no stores locally that carry a decent selection or size range. So I depend on being able to order online which I can't do because they have no consistency. This is the second time this happened. The first was a different style of boot. But considering that again my size 10 got me a boot that felt like a 15 I should have not tried again but how can you anticipate having two pair side by side that are the same size right now and the new ones are too big? Way too big

I bout a pair and within a month they have quarter sized chunks missing. Used lightly. Definitely would recommend something else for work. They are comfortable, but ive owned 5 pair of ariat work boots and only the two most recent pairs have had this issue. Maybe a new type of rubber. A coworker is also having the same problem.

Bought a pair in July, was super excited about them but about three months later the heel had completely come apart making it nearly impossible for me to get the boot off of my foot. Sadly I can't wear them.

I bought this boots around 6 months everything was good for the first couple months,until the leather in toe started to peel.Then a big piece of the heel somehow ripped making the boot very uncomfortable useless.Don't recommend this is my second pair and both have not lasted for more than 6 months

I have been wearing this boots for about 3 weeks now and today they have caused massive blisters in both my heels!!!! I have been wearing ariat for years and im a huge fan of venttek and i have never had this issue before. I know my sizing is right, this is easily my 9th pair of ariat work boots so this is completely unnaceptable. A refund should be issued for this. A work boot is not supposed to harm you after a long work day!
