They are comfortable and get the job done. But are WAY too big; NOT true to size. I typically wear a 9.5 in all other brands, but the 9.5 is large and my foot slides. Too much of a Hassel to return them, I just wear super thick socks.

Great boots! Roomy and soft yet waterproof. Love the tabs at the back that make them so easy to put on. I can leave my spurs on and still slip easily into and out of these boots. Ive been a Terrain fan for years but these are even quicker on/off. A new favorite!

Ive now had these for a year and a half and I love them! They are my go to boot for chores and doing ground work (I do not ride in them). Theyre comfy, tough, and I never get water in them! Weve cleaned out flooded stalls and STILL completely dry socks! Well worth the money! I do have odors with the sizing of all Ariat boots, 7 is too small and 7.5 is a bit big, so i just added a sock liner insole as I do with all of them.

Great material, comfortable all day. Stylish and easy to slip on and off. Gave me a blister on one ankle but might just have to wear them in.

Good sturdy shoe and beautiful design! I like that you have a lot of room at your toes. However, somehow my heel slides against the back all the time which causes blisters, even with thick socks that make my feet at the front really locked in place..

These are great boots, very substantial and good looking. I love how sturdy and comfortable they are, very well made. My only complaint is they do run large. I wear and ordered size 6 but I should have exchanged them for a 5.5 as they have a wide toe box and loose on the heels and tend to eat my sock on my left foot. But still good boots for the job in barn and horse farm.

So comfortable and fit great! Ive been wearing cheaper rubber muck boots for years and finally made the decision to move up a little in my barn shoe budget and my feet are soo grateful.

Very comfortable, but I wish I would have sized down. I did not consider the fact that there are no laces to tighten the width of the shoe, so my normal size is too big in these. I will probably buy a smaller pair in the summer when I'm not wearing thicker socks. Very comfortable though, and I love the slip on quality! I think these will last a long time.

Extremely comfortable, light weight, waterproof boots. I had the old style of these with the tougher leather for years and lived in them, they were much better for working in. These boots slip bad at the heel, they are much wider at the top than before (which may suit other people better) your heel almost slips out of them when riding. They are just too soft, flimsy, not stable or protecting enough, your foot doesn't feel quite secure enough, they are great for comfort and feel like slippers so great for if you only want to use them for going out or walking but not for working on the farm or uneven horse paddocks. They just move around too much and give way. Absolutely gutted as loved the previous ones of these. I suffer with bad Plantar Fasciitis, Ariat are the only shoes that I live in as they are ridiculously comfortable and never cause me problems with it. I've converted my whole family to Ariat but sadly I will not be recommending these to anyone :( come up large so go minimum half a size down.

Bought these boots in February. I wear them to them to the barn to ride and do all of my barn work. They look like I've had them 3 years doing hard labor not almost 3 months in a private barn! 3 stars because they are comfortable and fit true to size! Hope they hold up for the price!

Between the men's (D width) and women's (B width) I need the men's width with the shape of the women's version. I ordered both and the men's fit better but my feet look like BOATS because of the internal heel height and shape of the boot from the shaft to the toe. For the love of all things boots PLEASE MAKE MORE OPTIONS FOR WIDER WIDTHS IN WOMENS SIZE BOOTS!

most of your boots fit tight, you need to offer more wide widths

I like this boot a lot but the elastic gusset wears out before the sole even has much wear.

I normally love Ariat boots. But these disappointed me very early on. The finish has rubbed off of the toes and has cracked in places (where my foot bends). They still work and there isn't enough wear to justify buying new boots but they look terrible.

This is the third pair of these I have purchased. For the price I would expect them to last more than 12 months. The waterproofing has gone so I cannot wear these in wet weather which is pointless.
The plus side, they are extremely comfortable to wear but I now find myself having to buy another pair, not down to wear but because they must be letting in on the sole. My others did this in time but lasted longer than 12 months.

Rub against my ankles . I bought a pair a couple of years ago that did this so badly I could not wear them. You obviously have changed how they are made from years ago when they were totally comfortable and lasted for multiple years. I now have to cut the elastic to even tolerate them. I can not wear for any length of time. This will be the last pair I ever buy and they SO, SO expensive for this to continue to be an issue.

I bought these boots in November 2022. I love them however both boots now leak which is disappointing after only two years. My previous Ariat boots are years old and were still dry even after the leather had cracked.
Too expensive to be replaced every two years.

Perhaps it is my mistake for thinking that waterproof actually means waterproof? They were great for about a month and then water started seeping in. I applied a high quality natural leather weatherproofing product which helped for about a week. I've found it necessary to reapply every week. There doesn't appear to be any tears or breaks in the seams, so I can only imagine the leather is not of very high quality. I don't wear them in super wet conditions but I do need to walk through dewy cut grass each morning and the toes get wet- this is enough to soak into the inside and it takes days for them to dry out. I would expect more for the price. They are very comfortable and would be a great boot for super dry conditions when you don't want to worry about the occasional splash here and there. But, they are NOT waterproof.

Terrible rub and gouging around the entire top of the boot. Why do people even like this style of boot? Still trying to figure that out.

I initially thought that this waterproof Barnyard TWIN Gore II paddock boot would be a great alternative. I had purchased 2 pairs in September, 2023, one for myself and one for my twin sister. They did not last 6 months. The leather began cracking in less than 3 months. The leather has broken away from the sole. My sister and I have always cleaned and dressed our boots after each wear. These were a great disappointment, my Heritage and Devon pro boots have lasted YEARS!
