Customer Reviews Ariat Rebar Flex Western H2O Composite Toe

I've had these exact boots for 6 months now and I have about another month left on them if not a little more. I've worked 24 hour shifts and a 32 hour shift. I usually work 13-15 hours on a daily basis. I'm oilfield trash btw. I've worked on concrete, dirt/rock drilling pads,metal floor barge rigs and grating. I do drill pipe inspection. So oil,safety clean(varsol),drilling chemicals,and water(pressurewashing) have all been on my boots. I have zero complaints..to this day on 4/20/18... I bought them in October 2017. I'm a real person and do not work for a boot store or ariat. I am buying another pair. Highly recommended.Boots usually last me 3 months btw. I used to wear nothing but Justin and red wings. I don't think I'll buy anything other than ariat rebar waterproof work boots with composite toe ever again.

I have been wearing Ariat boots for a while now and upon starting a new job decided why not try out their work boots? These boots fit true to size and are comfortable to wear. I'm usually up at 4:30 AM and wear them till around 3 to 4 in the afternoon and have experienced no discomfort from the boot. Now I work for a contractor doing work on natural gas lines in New York city. Ever day I dig at least a five foot hole to begin my day. The boots have kept my feet warm enough in the winter while working. Like any boot you buy unless rated for (negative 30 f) your feet may get cold if you are inactive. My only issue with the boot is the leather is wearing through rather quick in my opinion, however this is not a stab at the boot itself. My work environment is very abrasive and I should have purchased a model with abrasion resistance built in. The water proofing is true to claim as I am often standing in ankle deep water, and routinely work in the rain/ snow. I am confident in their water proofing until I wear through the toe. I will probably buy these boots again as a personal work pair, but will definitely choose an Ariat model with more abrasion resistance in the near future. I would recommend these boots to anyone working hard, but does not constantly scuff them on super abrasive surfaces. All in all they fit great, look great, work hard, but don't like sharp surfaces. Boots are a tool not magical objects of indestructability. They are a good boot, and the price isn't bad either.

This is my first pair of safety toed boots in many years . I have really enjoyed the comfort and they look great. Warm and dry! Delivery was quick at a fair price. They were true to size.

I ordered these because I liked the looks of them and because I had a free boot card. However, because of my own ignorance I ordered a steel/comp toe on accident. They are really comfortable and look good.

Work in a secured facility and love the fact I don't have to remove my boots for the metal detectors. They are also very comfortable and artist boots have always been durable. My last pair lasted about 18 months. Nest nag for the buck.

Broke in in less then a day, super tough and comfortable. And they look pretty awesome to boot. See what I did there? Great pair of work boots. Highly recommend.

I have been wearing these Rebar Western H2O boots for a month and I love them. They are very comfortable and well built. They are warm which is to be expected from a waterproof boot. I work at night so its perfect for me. Usually wear a size 12EE but was too tight. Sent them back and 13D was perfect. These are so much better than the Redwing boots I had.

The Composite toe is too narrow for wide feet or the boot would be perfect. Great construction and design, amazing fit other that the composite toe is too narrow. I am trying a half a size up even tho it's a little long tho just because I like the boot so much. Fit is tight tho so if you want a thick sock it's something to think about. Tread pattern provides good traction. Waterproof is good. Really like this leather as well, tough and easily rinsed off.

Pros: Not super expensive. Well made and comfortable. Cons: Cheap insoles and I really hate the design of the sole. I bought them a year ago as a way to test the market for western-style boots. Definitely going to buy more Ariat.

I've owned mine for going on 6mo and the only complaint I could have, is that the leather on the toe, doesn't stand up very well. I work home construction and the most action the toe sees, is touching the concrete slab I'm working on if I'm kneeled down. Should have bought the rubberized toe I guess, they weren't as comfortable.

I've had these boots for roughly 10 months. I work in an office and warehouse - lots of concrete walking. The good: - Comfortable, very durable, not too heavy, they look great once they're broken in. - Waterproof is great to have, there's no place I won't go in these boots. - Composite toe has saved me on a few occasions. The bad: - Even after replacing the insoles with brand new Ariat insoles, my heels are generally sore after each day. - Not breathable. My feet sweat and stink these boots up pretty bad. So much that I usually cannot wear them back-to-back days because they're still wet the next morning. BUT, I purchased a boot dryer machine that produced ozone to disinfect The ozone it produces completely kills all bacteria and eliminates the odor and makes them bone dry. I would recommend spending the money on one. With that being all said, I'm actually looking at getting a second pair (maybe a different style) just to have 2 pairs.

Had these less than a year and the inside liner of the boot, where your heel slides, has become detached. So I can't wear them now without having a major fight and hurting my ankle trying to take them off. Haven't had any issues with my non waterproof western style ariat that I've had for 2 years.

Comfortable when on and walking around could wear all day and be fine, I'm a size 10EE these in particular are little harder to get in and out of than my previous Ariat work boots. Overall satisfied

The sidewall of the boot is not as cushioned as I hoped it would be, other than that boots have help up good.

I've been wearing Ariat workboots for some time now. They're my go to. Last pair I owned were the Workhog style and they weren't comfortable. Too tight around the foot even with me getting a EE. Eventually removed the insole and wore them that way. The Rebar Flex checked all my boxes due to me working in the field. I switched from steel toe to comp toe to see how it would work out. Well needless to say I've only had them for a week and the toe area is not comfortable. Not sure if it's the type of sock I'm wearing, but my feet are rubbed up against the composite material. I should have went up a size and maybe a D width. Hopefully the break in would cause this issue to go away because I don't want to remove the insoles because they are actually comfortable. I would recommend but suggest thoroughly walking in them before you purchase.

I purchased these almost a year ago. The were comfortable for about 4 months then the inside started to break down and the heal started to come apart. 6 months in the sticking started to separate and the no leak. No more water proofing and you have wet feet. I think I'd buy their casual wear boot again but not sure I'd buy them again as a work boot

I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas. I looked and looked at reviews before I got them. Since hes had them he has slid down a aluminum ladder, gotten a blister on his ankle and slipped a few times on a roof. I figured since they were oil resistant he would have no trouble if he had to work out in the rain. This morning he did not wear his boots and he loves them he says but I think he doesn't want to hurt my feelings. It saddens me because I bought them because they were built to last, never thought they would cause him to get hurt.

A solid boot overall but the boot repeatedly cuts up my heels. I do work in my family's orchard and whenever I do most work on foot for 8+ hrs my heels are cut at the end of the day. I bypass that issue by taping my heels with athletic tape.

Very comfortable but not very durable. Leather on the toe is very week and they are already splitting out on the sides. Only have had them a few months and very disappointed

I love ariat boots I have about 4 pairs but these were the most uncomfortable pair of boots I've ever owned
