Customer Reviews Ariat Hybrid VentTEK

My son is in the growth stage where kids boots are too small and mens boots are to big.. hopefully with his growth spurts he will fit these beautiful boots soon as we had him measured and we ordered the size we were told to.

Why can't Ariat have more simple colors and more variety options for Woman's boots. I've been waiting for Ventek in the most common size for months now. I love these and can't believe there is no option in a Woman's. Step it up Ariat. Looking into more female friendly boot companies.

Size runs smaller than normal, was under the impression they ran true to size

I love the concept and style of the ventTEK boot. Lightweight and cool. Boot size runs long compared to my other boots and shoes. I have to size down 1/2 size with Ariat. Also Ariat runs very narrow. I'm a perfect D width on all other boots but with Ariat the EE width is still a tight fit. I recommend trying several pairs of the same style or switching up to different style boots. There is no fit consistency with Ariat. Some I can't get my foot in and others of the same size, no problem.

Stitching inside the boot pokes the top of my feet making it uncomfortable.

I have several pairs of Ariat boots, but these boots are very hard and uncomfortable. By the end of the day my legs and knees ache. Vented does seem to help breath here in AZ. But not worth the hardness of the sole

My right boot squeaks when I walk. It won't start until I've worn them for about an hour. I thought it was the material breaking in but it's been sweeping for a week now. They are very comfortable and true to size.

I have high hopes that I can work them in but they do have an uncomfortable stitch line inside the boot just above the ankle. Wore them twice and had to take a break for awhile.

About these boots in a size 10 1/2 and I recommend call ariat boots at where I work as we sell them. I wanted a lighter cooler boot for the summer and chose these. After one use of an 8 hour shift, the right boot creased at the ankle causing a bad blister that makes it impossible to wear unless you squeeze double socks in there defeating the purpose of having a "cooler" boot. There is less and lighter leather coming up the ankle so I bet that's causing the weird way they fall and crease. They are nice to look at but painful to wear.

Boot won't stretch at all and was not a true extra wide fit. Have tried to wear them in but it's not working. Now I'm stuck with 200 dollar boots that are tight and uncomfortable.

I like the sting of the boot but the sides were not stable and rubbed against my ankles. Other than that, they are great.

I purchased a pair in 9 EE. The top of the boot was so unbearably tight. Wore them in the house on the carpet for a few hours for 2 days. Took them back to on day 3. Boots look amazing. Concept is great. Just the fit was completely off.

The boots look amazing but the fit is not that great, the you have to shove your heel into the boot, then it is very small on the toes

After 2 months of regular wear, I am disappointed in this boot. I do mostly civil construction and spend most of my days working in the dirt. For only having the boots for about 7-8 weeks, I am already noticing stitching falling apart and breaking completely in addition to the leather tearing quite deeply. I clean and oil the boots once a week which is why I was surprised to see it cracking so soon within their lifespan

Wore 3x and developed a horrible squeak. Tried to change out the soles that didn't work either.

We can't truly rate the quality of the boots because 1 boot was about 1/4-1/2 inch too short. We were hoping to receive a new pair but only received a refund.

For a ranch style boot that's toted for being durable, reliable and comfortable, with these boots I get none of that. The leather is too soft to hold up to much use. The first week I had the boots I brushes my left foot against a metal fencing panel while walking and it looks like a tiger tried to tear through the boot. The leather is just too soft and doesn't hol up to abrasions. Just the other day I crossed a barbed wire fence, my right foot got hung up in the fence and now there is a deep cut in my boot across the forefoot that will become a hole in no time just by wearing them daily. The other problem I have which actually may be the biggest issue of them all is the arches in the boots aren't symmetrical so o get uneaten pressure in my feet when I walk which I do a lot of each day. I'm not doing rigorous work in these boots on a daily basis but in the three weeks I have had them I have little to no faith they are going to last more than 4-6 months tops before I'm looking for replacements.

I had a pair of Ariat Quickdraw boots for 4 years, and absolutely loved them. I wore the tread right off the soles. I decided to replace them with a pair of these venttek boots, which was a terrible mistake. About 6 months after buying them, they are so stretched out from daily wear that they flop all over my feet and are starting to give me blisters. I've gone back to wearing my old Quickdraw boots instead. The leather on these appears to be fairly thin, and although they're good looking boots, I absolutely cannot reccomend them.

I ordered these for a birthday gift. They'd probably be nice if they didn't arrive all sorts of messed up. They had all kinds of scratches, marks and I assume adhesive on places it shouldn't. They're nice looking otherwise and seemed alright. These were never worn because of the shape they arrived in. Customer service was an absolute joke. When I finally got in contact with someone they weren't very nice or helpful. So beware these are what your may look like ordering off site.

I bought these boots a few weeks ago and have tried my best to like them and truth is i hate them I order the same size I've always ordered in Ariat and these boots are absolutely like vise grips on my feet 10/10 DO NOT RECOMEND
