Customer Reviews Ariat Heritage IV Zip Waterproof

The boot fits a bit different than I thought it would. It is right to put on, loose in the foot, and loose around the ankle. I have had many other ariat paddock boots in the past but I would even suggest going down two sizes as opposed to my usual one.

C width perfect & arch support great but falls short on ball of foot support.

I have only worn this boot for less than a year. They are not used to muck stalls, so very little exposure to urine or other caustic agents. I was surprised to find my left foot feeling wet inside the boot after walking on grass with dew. I checked the boot later and found that, although the leather uppers were still waterproof, the edges of the sole to the leather upper were not sealed, or the seal had broken down. This is where the water was getting in. I was disappointed because my previous pair of Heritage IV waterproof zip paddock boots had lasted well over a year, and with heavier use. Ariat boots fit me very well, so I will be taking my current pair to a shoe repair shop to get them resealed, in addition to buying a backup pair of Heritage paddock boot that I will just waterproof myself.

My feet are a bit wide and even though these said they were a wide fit, I wasn't able to use them. I sent them back

The boots are less pliable, and nearly 1/2 size bigger than my previous pair of the exact same size and model. They are shiny though.

I couldn't get them zipped through the ankle, and had to return. They seemed a little stiff, but good quality.

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.

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!!!

too tight across the top of my feet. your sizing is just plain off anymore. I was a long time Ariat fan, but no more.

I have worn Ariat boots size 9.5 for years ..this pair was at least one size too small

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.

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.
