This is my second pair of these boots. I'm finally retiring the first pair I bought three years ago as they've more than done their duty of near daily horseback riding, horse bathing and general barn activities. My feet never got wet and were always comfy. I'd keep wearing them but they're just a wee tad stinky at this point but, really, can you blame them? I highly recommend these boots!

These boots were very comfortable from the first time I wore them. I highly recommend them.

I wish this boot came in wide. The fit is exactly as advertised. Because it's leather, I know it will stretch to fit, but again, I wish I could've ordered a wide as these are a bit snug. I can only hope the sole doesn't detach from the sides as a result of the pressure my wide feet exert. My old Ariats (this is my third pair) had a wider sole but I could not find a similar offering this time around. The gel sole is very comfy and suitable for walking long distances. The boots do not alarm when going through airport TSA checkpoints, which is a nice feature. Ariat makes a wonderful product.

I always live in my ariat paddock boots and these are so comfortable right out of the box. This is my first waterproof pair and they're a little bit hotter to wear in the summer but it's nice to not get wet feed when I'm bathing my horse.

I've worn this boot for years. Both for work and to the barn. I love their design. They've always worn well lasting about one year. I'm hard on boots. I have wide feet with a high instep and they've worked well for me.

I've worn Ariat boots for years and these don't disappoint. They are true to size and very comfortable, even the first day wearing them.

I've been using these boots at work on daily basis and I'm very happy with the choice I made. Very comfortable boots (I have wide feet and do a lot of walking at work), no smell - unlike other footwear that has weird odors due to materials from which are made of and poor manufacturing process. For some people the price might be a little "intimidating" but I can assure you, you're getting what you pay for.

My paddock boots came at the end of last week and I wore them all weekend. They fit well with no need to "break them
In". Best news - my feet were dry and toasty warm despite the cold and wet conditions.

Love Ariat boots yet this one is just a little too snug around the top of the boot and rubs against my lower leg so had to return for the "Devin Nitro Paddock" model by Ariat which is awesome. This boot is very well made, classic style and good insole, but the top of boot edge is too narrow when zipped up....would be okay if you have thin lower legs/calfs. Thanks Zappos for carrying so many styles of Ariat boots.

These boots are perfect! Comfortable right out of the box and a nice sleek style that isn't so trendy they'll be out of style soon. They go well under pants or with a dress. Snug around the ankle and kept me dry in a downpour. Really happy !

Looking for a good waterproof boot that's comfortable for lots of walking for a trip to Ireland in Sept. This is a really cute boot, very comfortable right out of the box. I wear any size from a 6.5 to 7.5 depending on the shoe and have a somewhat narrow foot, A-B width. Some advised to order up a half size so I went with the 7.5. It was a good fit but felt ever so slightly too long and I was afraid my foot might start to slide forward a bit if the leather stretched with lots of wear. Others also commented that the front zip at the ankle was too tight but it was a perfect fit on my 8" ankle. All in all a very nice boot but I decided to return and keep one of the other pairs that was a better fit.

Haven't had these boots for very long so I can't comment on the durability but I love everything about them. Padding on the back of the ankle area and the soft insole make them very comfortable to wear. I'm between size 8 1/2 or 9 for some boots so wasn't sure what size to get, but went with the 8 1/2 and I'm happy I did. So you may want to go down half size rather than sizing up. I can even fit a thicker sock in there for cold days. My feet are narrow and the medium width fits great. Zipper holding strong so far!

This is a comfortable boot out of the box. I appreciate that they are waterproof. They fit slightly tighter than the plain paddock boot in the same size. I don't have particularly wide feet, but I do take a 10, and I found the 10 perfect-not too tight or sloppy feeling. Being waterproof they are easy to clean.

Love these boots! Amazing support, rugged sole, comfy right out of the box, and they look fun and funky half zipped with skinny jeans. Highly recommend!

I went up a half size to accommodate my slightly wider than average foot (not wide enough for official wide shoes, but definitely not narrow), so the fit across the middle was great. However, the style was so much longer, I looked like I had clown feet! :(
The zipper was convenient for on/off but was a little tricky to close. These shoes would not fit with thicker socks–although you wouldn’t need them—they are insulated and I could tell they would be warm.
Beautiful shoes overall, sorry I had to return!

I bought these paddocks boots to wear to the Kentucky Derby. Working for NBC I knew I'd be doing a lot of running around and these boots not only looked great but they were comfy right out of the box. This year's Derby was the wettest one on record (3++ inches of rain in a few hours). My feet stayed dry, even while doing the walkover in a muddy, wet racetrack.
I'm so happy with my boots. I'll be a lifelong customer!

I have narrow feet and problem arches, and its rare to find footwear that's all-day comfortable without adding a custom orthotic. Well, these boots are amazingly comfortable and supportive (without orthotics) and a great look with my jeans & casual wear. Medium or wider feet may find the fit a bit narrow, since these fit my narrow feet very well. These won't be my last Ariats!

I bought these recently and they were very comfortable even on first wear! Very different (in a good way) from my old boots! Has a lot of support and fits nicely with my Concord Chaps!

I am a fan of the H20 leather and I'm glad the new Heritage 4 paddock boot is offered in this waterproof finish. I wear my paddock boots every day and the waterproof, thicker leather finish wears and lasts longer than that of the standard boots. I particularly like that the sole and heel of this boot was upgraded! Now it has a grippy, textured, pattered sole that doesn't seem to wear off flat and smooth too soon, like the previous versions of Ariat's paddock boots did. And they're comfortable right out of the box--no break-in necessary. Thanks, Ariat!

I order the wide version of this boot in order to fit my feet changes. I'm now wearing orthotics and I needed new boots. The wide version fits me way better (wide feet) and I went up about a 1/2 size to accommodate the orthotics and give bunion more room. It was a great choice. I recommend them for sure!

This boot fits very nicely, supportive, flexible and quite comfortable. I'm going to purchase a black pair as well. Can be worn for just general styling with jeans they are that comfortable.

Purchased because found no other paddock boots in any brand that came in a wide, though still had to go up a half size to 7-1/2, and they are good enough. But I don't like how high they go up and find it tight even with the elastic gusset, even though my calves are an average width. I've started leaving the zipper down an inch.

The leather is beautiful, and I wanted these to work. But there was too much slosh in the upper parts of the boot, and even with heavy socks they felt loose.
