Customer Reviews Ariat Heritage IV Paddock

I am really impressed with these boots. I bought them to wear on a horse-and-hike trip through New Mexico and they were super comfortable right out of the box. I walked literally 7 miles a day without a pinch or rub. I mean, I brought bandaids with me and didn't touch them. Scrambled up very rocky hills to see petroglyphs, walked around a mountain lake in spring snow, climbed ladders into cliff dwellings at Bandolier, walked to Walt Longmire's house across Valle Caldera, toured the Georgia O'Keeffe museum and walked to B and B in a hailstorm. They got dirty- I wiped them clean and wore them to dinner with a dress. Plenty of room in toe box, padded collar, adjustability with lacing. Great ankle support and traction sole. I never touched my cushy running shoes once. I might put a squishier insole with a higher arch inside, but my husband says I'm not allowed to wear them to bed.

I wear these as my duty boots in a police department. I'm a civilian, but have to wear a uniform. These are perfect. I can go from a commiunity meeting to homeless camps, they work for both. I've been wearing them for 10-12 hour shifts for over a year. I need support for my knees (I'm 68) and my knees never hurt in these. When I have to go into muddy areas I wear my department issue, and my knees always hurt when I have to do that. I'd give 6 stars if I could!

Wow--I am an avid consumer of reviews and like to post them whenever I can though it really stands out when my own experience is so different from the others posted. I was excited to get these based on the reviews and truly have never been so eager to get shoes or boots off my feet as they were uncomfortable even before I took a step. The material is stiff and the back seems to push against the back of the leg but these are very tight and narrow at the instep before you even start walking. They also did not look as if they were made of quality materials... so they were back in the box less than five minutes after UPS delivered them. What a disappointment--and least for me!

This was a long shot purchase but when I put them on I was sold. Absolute comfort. My feet have been bugging me in flat boots and shoes and the little heel on these boots is just well balanced enough to do the trick. I’m not an equestrian muck raking stalls but I do spend a lot of time outdoors and depend on my feet to keep me going. I’m keeping them.

I love these boots! They are comfor table right away. They have great arch support, non slip soles, and they come in wide! They look expensive ,and are very well made at a reasonable price. I will wear these forever!

When I first ordered these boots, I ordered them in sizes 8. They arrived fast, but when I opened the box, there were two different boots inside. Daniel in customer service was wonderful (and apologetic). He send a new pair overnight and they fit perfectly. After wearing them around the house for a day, I'm pretty sure there will be a short break-in period, but overall, these are exactly what I was looking for.

I love this boot. I looked for a long time for a boot that would be good for being on my feet out in the field as a social worker, but would also look good when I go into meetings with stakeholders. These are very comfortable. They look just dressy enough for consults and meetings. I thought I would need to break them in, but I wore them for hours the first time I wore them. I usually put arch support insoles in all my shoes and boots (best way to protect knees), but I don’t need them with these boots. My feet are thin, so I can wear heavy socks with the medium. I’ll probably put a small insole in them come spring and fall so they are tighter, but the true lace up feature means I can tighten them. Just love them.

My daughters and I have been wearing this style from Ariat for 15 years, still beautiful, wears well, comfortable. Polish regularly to keep leather supple.

bought a 10.5 and 11 — the 10.5 fit perfectly, even with thick socks! very comfortable, solid construction, good support and stability.

Quality show making for sure. Very nice boot, classy appearance. Comfortable for standing and walking .

Like lace up better than zipper for snug fit

Wow. Took a chance on a brand I never tried before. Checked the company website for reviews. These boots were made for me. I have high arches ,narrow ankles, and a normal width of foot. These hug my ankles and support my entire foot but leaving room in the toe box. I conditioned and buffed them out with mink oil and adjusted the lacing - I don’t quite get the way shoes can be laced these days. These boots are light and cushioned with a rubber sole. A wonderful change from my 1/2 dozen lugg sole stompy boots and way too bouncy sneaker of the day. This style is wonderfully versatile. I feel like I am in mother-approved sensible shoes. Just don’t tell mom how stylish they really are. These ate leather paddock boots and
