Customer Reviews Ariat Keswick Waterproof

Boot is stylish and the color is cool. Fits my foot nicely. True to size. Comfortable except the front tongue flap is stiff so it rubs my ankle and leaves a bruise. I am stuffing my sock with extra padding which works. Hope it softens up so I don't have to do that. I have small ankles

Fit mostly comfortable. A little snug in the toes.

I've had these boots for two years & I've always bought Ariat boots for the reason that they are so comfortable & good quality . like they say no foot no horse ! Well I believe the same for us humans too . Sadly these boots haven't lasted me , I have treated them just the same as all my Ariat boots using their care products but the leather has cracked on the side . If it wasn't for the cracked leather & now leaking of water I'm sure they would of lasted another 3 or more years . Even with that aside I'm still going to replace with another pair due to loving these boots for their fit & comfort .

I searched for a long time for a paddock boot. I wanted to be able to slip on my feet so didn't want laces. I also wanted something I could wear with half chaps and ride in. These are typical Ariat comfort very supportive and feel great wearing around. I like the elastic gusset as well. I did wear these out and about for a couple of months over winter just to wear them in. Now they are perfect for riding and working around the barn.

Birthday gift and I love them..

I wasn't sure at first bought this about 1 month ago, were a bit tight and stiff to start with and I still get a very slight numb pain on one foot top on occasion (usually when I'm hotter and feet a bit swollen but disappears and not crippling) but moulded to my feet after perseverance and I'm happy they are comfy, warm and waterproof and good for slipping on and off easily for dog walks

I just bought this boot-I used the Ariat size chart and ordered the perfect size. It arrived quickly and I immediately tried them as soon as i got home from work. The fit was a little tighter and narrower than i expected, but with thinner compression socks they fit well and felt good...until i took those first few steps. The front tongue is has height of 3-4" over height of ankle and is a little stiff. As my ankle flexed the leather rubbed on my shin exactly where i sometimes experience edema. I need a shorter or softer front tongue.

It's a beautiful boot, but it is a bit stiff. I'm assuming it will soften up with time, but in the meantime, I'm adding cushioning around my ankles. The top of the boot hits me at a very bony spot.

It's a great quality boot but do not buy if you have bunions! It's a narrow boot and it kills my bunion! I tried to have it stretched but it hasn't worked and I'm not sure if that is a boot issue or shoe smith issue.

I really want to like these boots, but I bought my size and they are small and squeezing my feet and I wish I had gone a half size bigger.

I think this boot will end up being a nice boot, but it definitely needs breaking in. It is not one that is comfy right out of the box. I haven't used it with my half chaps yet, but it is not a bulky design so I do not expect any problems. At this point, it isn't a boot that I could walk very far in - seems pretty stiff in the heel area and I am forced to wear a thin sock because the boot is quite snug. I have always worn a 7.5 in Ariat's and that seems to work for the most part - however, if these don't stretch out a bit an 8 would have been better for me.

The was very cute and seemed to be functional. The cushion felt nice, but my pinky toe said heck no. To narrow. Im on my feet all day and I need to be able to come home and not have aching feet. Hopefully a future model will be wider. I wanted to buy both colors. I have several pair of different ariat work and casual boots that i love but this one is a no

Foot size is pretty accurate however cannot wear with thick socks or they are really difficult to pull on. Hoping the front panel of the boot breaks in over time since the "stiffness" of that panel currently leaves the front of my ankles feeling bruised.

Very stiff and tight in the toe box. I ordered my regular size 7 and they were much too tight even with a lighter sock. Recommend sizing up a half size.

These boots are very well made, felt great on my feet. BUT, where the front of the boot hit on my calf was very uncomfortable. I had to return, very sad.

Sturdy boots but caused a blister for me and only thin socks possible

Very sharp looking boots. Bought them to work & ride in. Unfortunately they were a 1/2 size too large so they were returned. I did decline to reorder as the rise of these boots is actually pretty tall and hit at the shin pretty high so was hesitant about comfortability while riding. They're also quite heavy/cumbersome. Very pretty casual boot.. wouldn't suggest for riding or heavy workwear.

The boot hits to high on my shin and is very uncomfortable the quality was beautiful just the design was not as expected and I did return them , however I ordered new barn boots

Really nice boot, comfortable but unfortunately I had to return. I have occasional edema of ankle and shin area, and the front of this boot was too high, too stiff for that tender skin. Also really hard to get off if any swelling, or if have injured knees. I need a zipper to make it easier.

Too tight in the toe box. Returned.o wish you offered wider widths.

I am disappointed with the Keswick boots. I think that I have bad luck with Ariat shoes that aren't my riding boots. (For the record, my field boots and Heritage paddock boots are magical.) On the positive side, the Keswick boots are cute, and the soles are comfortable. They are definitely waterproof--I wore them recently during a bad rainstorm. However, they are clunkier and heavier than anticipated. Even with thick socks, they gap around my ankles (the top of the boots dug into my shins while driving, ouch). The length of the boot is good, but they still seem big/wide on me. Additionally, the suede on the back of the boot is already scuffed after one wear! I wish these had worked out, but I'm just going to shelve them for now.

I2021/22 winter is the first year I've worn these boots. They are not waterproof and they're hot. Incredibly hot. The materials feel cheap not like the waterproof leather boots they replaced. I've been wearing Ariats since 2000, and have to say, it's so disappointing to see the quality decline. I wo t buy again, and this is after 10 pairs in 20 years.

Extremely disappointed with these boots. I wore them for less than 8 months before the boots cracked and split from the sole. Despite treating them with mink oil and applying waterproofing spray, they're completely ruined. I contacted customer support about the issues and received no response. Better off buying Blundstones that offer warranty replacements. Avoid at all costs!

Uncomfy. The back is too stiff and too tall. They were going to cripple me; I had to return them.

Received as Christmas Gift 2023. Not water proof 3/1/2024. Not ridden in, just farm work. Same price point in commercial poultry gets you at least 6 months of Sperrys or Hunter boots.
