I have been buying Ariat paddock boots for decades. They are so comfortable and break in easily. Like putting on a pair of slippers!

I really love these paddock boots I just wish they lasted longer but the leather cracks after about 6 months of waring every day. I'm on my third pair in three years

High quality, room for warm socks, but stiff ankle really specialized for riding and not that comfortable for daily use

My daughter has wide feet. These were too narrow. Couldn’t even get her foot in. Will look for a wide fit. Love Zappos though!

I have been wearing this style of boot for the past 6 years. Granted a I buy a new pair every 12 to 18 months but I actually wear the boots 7 days a week approximately 8 hours a day. They are great in the summer/winter. They have never leaked and the zipper has always worked. The only reason I need new ones is I have basically worn them out.

I wear a 10 AA, but thought I would try this 10B
since reviews said this shoe was extremely narrow. From the ankle to the calf is very narrow, but the foot bed is not. I will have to return these. I believe the ankle up to the calf will stretch and be perfect for a B width. I love my Appaloosa

These boots far exceeded my expectations! I've had winter tall boots in the past that I didn't care for because they felt too bulky to ride in. These did not feel bulk at all and they are quite warm! I went with my normal size 10 and they are roomy enough to wear thick socks in. So helpful for me because I suffer from pretty bad raynauds in cold weather.

This is the first waterproof, insulated pair that I have ever bought - I love my regular leather Ariat paddock boots but these are so much better for cool/cold weather and I love the waterproof leather!

I wish Ariat wouldn't change an excellent product. I used up my last pair and ordered these for next winter. There is no reflective strip on the back! That's important to this winter paddock boot. But my other ask is to bring back the lower shaft.
The previous iteration had a softer, padded shaft that scalloped lower at the back of the ankle. This new style really rubs at the back of the leg! I'm returning my most recent pair for that reason.
If you're in breeches and tall socks all the time, it's not so bad. But this is a winter paddock with Thinsulate. People wear it with long pants and half chaps to ride in. We wear it to town with jeans to run errands in rain and snow; we do chores in it. The tall, snug shaft makes it impractical to wear with anything besides breeches.
Ariat is now marketing its products to the general public, not just ranchers and equestrians. It would make sense to offer a boot that is just as comfy to wear in the city and to work in a heated building as it is to wear in the barn. It makes sense to offer a streetwear version of this boot and sell thousands more each winter. The previous version was that type of boot. This new one is just a riding paddock with insulation. Yawn.

These boots are great for winter riding. They're insulated but still maintain a low profile for safe fit in the stirrups. They are true to my foot size; however, the Ariat sizing chart runs big (so an exchange was required in my instance.)

Quality and performance of these boots are exceptional. Warm with a regular sock. This is my second pair in ten years. Had to buy a pair I could wear anywhere, but the barn!!! I have purchased them for my daughter, granddaughters, and now a sister. Note: my first pair (barn boots - blue lining) have a wider toe box which fits me perfectly!!! My second pair (everyday winter/rain boots - red lining) have a "narrower" toe box that is definitely different. I wish Ariat would consider making the two types to accommodate different feet.

Ariat boots are my go to because of the safety and all day comfort. This is my 3rd pair in 16 years and I wear them alot. When I'm at the barn training they keep my feet protected and the steel shank keeps my feet and back from hurting after hours on my feet. These boots are honestly the most comfortable, long wearing shoe I've ever owned. That's why I get Ariat riding boots, they're just the best at letting me do my horse thing in all seasons and I don't have to worry about cold or wet or sore feet, I just focus on my horse.

I just received 3 different boots ordered just days ago. I love this boot, fit perfect. Would love to keep it but the other 2 boots won out. Do I really need a third new pair? ugh decisions...

I love these boots. Very well made, very comfortable, and look nice. Fit is a little tight around ankles but I like it- makes my foot and ankle feel more stable.

These are boots are just what I needed for walking around cold or slushy city streets when full-on snow boots aren't necessary. They look great, fit great and the insulation gives them some warmth. I had also tried a similar boot from Dansko (Brianne) which I also liked but it was a bit to tight to wear with heavy socks since it came in a size 7.5/8 and I'm more of an 8.

Great boots - love them for around the barn use! However, they are very tight on calves. If you have anything but *tiny* calves (I'm 5'5", 130lbs, athletic, and my calves barefly fit) these boots might give you some trouble. They get really tight around my ankles. But otherwise wonderful boots!

Shoe seems to run a little big, especially as it will stretch a little with time. While I really ove the style, the insulated aspect seems to make the shoes much bulkier and they looked huge on my feet. Opted for the non-insulated version instead.

Love the zip paddock boots , Ive had several pairs over the years. They last long and hold up to everyday wear. I work and ride in them . They are comfortable for long hours on your feet.
