Customer Reviews Ariat Hilo

Overall I really enjoy these shoes. They are lightweight, sturdy and very comfortable. The only downside is the quality control. The pair I received had a small blemish on the toe of the left foot. Not worth going through the hassle of an exchange but slightly annoying. Overall very nice shoes.

tl;dr they are telling the truth when they say these will be your next daily drivers, especially once they are broken in. A few months back I got into the market for a general pair of shoes; not running shoes, not boots, just a something I could slip on and go, and be versatile enough to fit in multiple contexts (home, church, store, etc). I saw these and was hesitant at first: they aren't the style I tend toward. But I kept thinking that I wanted something easy to get on and comfortable for long periods of being on my feet. When I saw these in Dark Denim, I figured it was time to go for it and I'm glad I did. What I like: ~ These shoes are comfortable. They slip on and are good to go. The sole is robust enough that I don't feel tired just from walking or standing. And when they say light, they mean it. I forget I'm wearing them most of the time. ~ I was a little worried about the elastic straps, but they hold firm without too much pressure on the top of my foot (more on that later). ~ When I first opened up the shoebox, I noticed how thick the sole was; it's almost as thick as my running shoes. All said and done, they don't look out of place when I'm wearing them and the added cushion is appreciated. ~ On the first couple of wears I noticed pressure on my heels that worried me, but that has given way to a very comfortable experience. ~ The Dark Denim works well with jeans or khakis. They are subtle suites me and my need perfectly. What I'm glad I know: ~ I have to be careful what socks I wear with these. Most of the time it's fine, but a few times the combination of thicker socks and the elastic laces have put uncomfortable pressure on the top of my foot. ~ The shoes fit really well, but my feet do sometimes slip inside. In other words, probably not the best bet for the pickleball court. ~ They definitely have been getting more comfortable the more I've worn them. All that said: ~ I'm glad I bought these and even found myself trying to figure out how to wear them more. And for those in-between times (read: most of my life not at work), these are a great option. ~ I have a pair of Ariat boots that I love and routinely wear 16+ hours out of a day. I am really pleased that these live up to that standard and are fighting for some of those hours.

Good comfortable shoe, but a little snug but still comfortable.

Shoe coloration, pattern, darker, deeper blue, than shown in the photo. Comfortable and fits as expected.

Great shoes for every occasion!! Very light weight, great styles to choose from, and very durable!

Its a nice shoes and very light. I will buy again

Bought these for my husband as a birthday gift and he love how comfortable and light weight they are.

The Hilo's feel very comfortable. upper material is quite airy and breathable so its still too cold here to wear them. I think they'll be a great warm weather shoe.

Great shoes tryed hey dudes they was way too narrow but love my ariat hilos

This is a great casual shoe, very comfortable and I get compliments everywhere I go. Only problem I have with them is that I wish the laces were just a little bit longer, other than that they're great and I highly recommend. If your looking for a great and comfortable shoe I highly recommend this shoe most days I wear boots and when I want to give my feet a little break this is what I wear even though I own a lot of other shoes these are usually my go to.

Comfortable slip on shoe thats great after a long day of wearing work boots or cowboy boots. supportive bottoms and inserts.

Got email they were in stock. Ordered them immediately and then got an email saying my order was cancelled because they were out of stock. Very frustrating.

Very narrow for D width. I had to return and order EE width which I would not normally wear.

I wanted to love these shoes but they were not for me. I usually wear a size 8 and had to size up to a 9 in the Hilos.

Ordered this shoe in wide. Tried it on and was sloppy - too big. Regular width would have worked. Tried to exchange the shoe for Regular width, but it was sold out.

They aren't the canvas fabric that we expected but a nylon. Kind of look like slippers but he says they're comfortable.

The style of the HiLo is great, but now the fit has narrowed and they feel too tight, rather than super comfortable, like they used to be! I know this because I bought the exact same pair--HiLo of same size and width but a different color--less than 1 year ago. I wore that pair almost every day, but now I avoid the new, more narrow pair bc they put painful pressure on the tops of my feet. And it was only after I wore them around town the first day that I discovered this--and of course, they're soles are street-soiled and this typically prevents returning them! I won't buy this style again, and I'm also wary of further shoe purchases with Ariat overall.

Like the comfort, look, and fit. Delivery was great, communications were easy. However disappointed with design of tongue. When sliding your foot in, the tongue collapses, doubles up underneath the top of the shoe, requiring removal and holding it in place as you guide your foot in. Not ideal.

They are comfortable to wear. Don't like the laces. Wish they had a better way to fasten without the laces, but better than a slip on.

Unfortunately, the patterns didn't come close to matching on the shoes, to the point i couldn't bring myself to wear them, and I returned them. They also seemed to run big.

The product is great I just couldn't get the one I wanted, said not available so I ordered the mens, same shoe, in the size I always order when I buy a mens shoe. It was like two sizes too big so I returned. Returning was excellent, no fees, very easy! I gave up on ordering them.

Ordered EE but definitely are not close to an average EE width. Returned for that reason only.
