Customer Reviews Ariat Ketley Waterproof

I love my boots! I usually wear size 9, and ordered size 9...perfect fit! The only thing i don't like is the area around the heel on the inside of the boot. It is very stiff, and rubs. It also pulls down my socks from the back and they scrunch down under my heel. Hopefully they will soften up after a couple more times wearing them. But, I love them!

These boots have been so comfortable, however I've had them for less than a year and I've already worn through the lining in multiple places and the leather has begun to split despite regular conditioning. Disappointed given the price.

Nice boots. Could not get my high arch into them. I guess I need zipper boots.

I love these boots. The fit is excellent, and they are beautiful and comfortable. At this price, I anticipated they would last for years. Unfortunately, at just over a year old, every time I walk through the pasture my feet are sopping wet. And really, that started months ago. While I would recommend this boot, don't plan on wearing it often if you want it to last.

This is the second pair I have had now and I love the boots, I walk our dogs every day in them, they offer such great support but after a year both pairs have leaked and I get home with soggy socks, the first pair I decided it must just be because they were a couple of years old so had a second pair and admittedly for the first few months they are fine but after this they leak, I'm only walking through grassy fields nothing heavy duty. I'm disappointed as I love the boot style and comfort so much, know the guarantee is only for 12 months so I assume after this they won't be waterproof..shame as quite expensive for just 12 months. I still wear them just not on wet days! Any advice appreciated as would love another pair of similar style that are actually waterproof for more than 12 months.

I purchased a pair of these boots less than 12 months ago and one of the boots is beginning to leak where the rubber sole joins the leather part of the boot - my boots are worn most days to walk dogs nothing extreme - shame as nice looking boots

Very pretty but didn't fit right. Width too skinny.

I have ariats all my life and don't want other brands. But these boots the langdale is disappointing the 37 was to big so I bought the 36,5 I wear them like 8 times and got blisters everywhere every time they hurt and are very narrow at the toes. The looking are great also the leather but the fitting is not like al my other ariats. I can not walk on the boots so I have to sell them again and they were a present from my parents, very sad.

Unfortunately the fact that this boot was a 'pull-on' was not for me. The foot was too cramped and it was built solidly too high to the ankle bone, making it very uncomfortable. I'm sure if you have a narrow foot and a higher ankle bone it would be fine. Nicely made, good fabric, looks great, just didn't fit!

I love the look of my boots. But they are rubbing badly behind my ankles. I'm going to see if I can break them in by wearing them for 10 minute walks daily.

Incredibly disappointed with these boots. The new "Dryshield" which seems to have replaced Goretex is an over glorified neoprene liner. I absolutely do NOT want neoprene in my boots (if I did, I'd buy the much cheaper neoprene and rubber boots). The interior lining is a rougher mesh instead of the smooth satin-like lining from the boots these were supposed to replace. These also fit so strangely in the foot - the toe is on the narrower side while the heel is HUGE causing my foot to lift and rub with each step. As I said, majorly disappointing.

First off, I absolutely love the fit/feel of these boots. The option for a fuller calf is what sold me. I got them and they were comfy right out of the box, so no break in time was needed. However, they are absolutely not waterproof. My job requires me to stand in creek beds at certain times, and the second time in they leaked and my feet were completely drenched. I was so disappointed, because I do love these boots. Sadly I am returning them.

The boots are warm and comfortable, but they are not suitable for riding beyond a simple walk on a calm horse. They are bulky and do not provide a secure fit. While they are adequate for walking around the barn and performing chores, I would not recommend them for riding.

I absolutely loved everything about these boots, the fit, the style, the comfort and the performance. But I'm extremely disappointed that after just 2.5 years the upper has started to come away from the sole and they now let water in. This actually started to happen at the start of their second winter and required a trip to the cobblers in an attempt to repair. But the split has now come back again. I've looked after them and they've not been abused - just used for dog walking. This is not acceptable given their price - I thought I was buying quality that would last at least 4 or 5 years!

I've loved these boots for a year since buying them, but the leather upper is coming away from the sole and they aren't waterproof any more! I don't wear them that often, maybe once or twice a week for a few hours, and for any long days out I wear my other boots so expected more from these for this price.

I bought my boots about 18 months ago they were stylish and comfortable I've worn them a reasonable amount mostly at the weekends but probably for an hour a day on average the shoe is now coming away from the soul they are not waterproof and they need replacing. Poor quality boots for the amount paid.

Lovely boots, great for riding in but I bought them less then a year ago and one boot has a whole between the leather upper and the sole - very disappointed with the longevity and durability for the price

I am so disappointed that these boots are not waterproof. The first time I wore them I was in the rain for just under one hour and the soaked through. Every part of them was saturated, from toes up. I dread to think to think if I was up in the yard for the day and it was raining. These boots look stunning but they are not made for Irish rain, so back they went!

Tried boots on adjusted legs with laces and found that the zip stuck in my leg as the leather folded see photo. I am returning and will re order a half size up , but did not expect the zipper to be an issue. Great looking boot though.

I ordered these boots on Dec 31, 2024. I have not received yet, Jan 21, 2025. I called twice to check on delivery and has put on hold for over 20 minutes only to leave my phone # for later call. Received return call but was at work and got disconnected when caller put me on hold to check status. I left an email to customer service 4 days ago and have not received a response. Disappointed because I needed warm boots for winter. I cannot commit to size but review needs a response.

Treated myself to these a while back but only started wearing them in autumn. Less than 6 months of daily yard wear and the leather across the top of the foot has cracked and split. Cleaned daily incl leather conditioners. So disappointed, expect better from Ariat the soles are hardly even worn but they are completely useless!!!

I got these boots last Christmas as a gift, and whilst I'm pleased with their appearance and comfort i wore them recently for the first proper wet walk... NEVER AGIAN. I was out all day beating with me dogs and my feet were absolutely drenched. When i got home and looked at them properly the upper has gaps/splits near the sole. I was happy to have an exchange, however reading all these reviews I wont be accepting a exchange. Very disappointing given the price

For the price of these boots although gorgeous the quality is just not here there. The boots sagged within a matter of weeks causing the heel to also collapse. Within a few months the lining of the boot at the heel had worn away causing them to become very uncomfortable. I'm guessing this is due to heel collapsing causing friction. On a positive note they are waterproof and we're pretty when I first purchased them. A lot of money to spend for less than a years enjoyment. Just to add I don't expect them to last forever as they are used several times a week however at this price I expect boots to last at least a year.
