Customer Reviews Ariat WorkHog XT VentTek H2O

I'm on my feet all day in a wide variety of terrain and rough terrain, from asphalt to dirt, from mud to snow and these boots have NOT disappointed. The comfort of these boots are phenomenal. I bought them to be my primary work boots but I find myself wearing them everywhere I go.

My husband loves them as he does all of his Ariat boots. The waterproof aspect is the best feature

Hands down these are the best boots I've ever worn. I work 72 hours a week doing fabrication in an automotive plant on my feet 95 percent of the day. These boots give all day comfort, do not disappoint in any way. 3rd pair of Workhogs and love them!

Overall really good boots, they absolutely get hot quickly even with the vents, and definitely run a half size big. Very very comfortable for standing, I'm glad I got them.

These are pretty comfortable right out of the box, the most comfortable slip-on boots I have ever work, and seem sturdy as well. Good looking boot. I usually wear a 12.5 or 13 but 12's fit fine. Maybe a little heavy, but as I said they seem sturdy with nice thick soles so my feet don't hurt walking on rocks etc. .

Fits well, but i dont think the vents do much. Not so much a vent as exposed inner liner. My feet get just as hot as other style boots.

So far great boots, only had them about a month and still holding up great! They were a little rough breaking in but after that they're great!

Vented, but lined with something hot, not sure why. Fit a bit tighter than last pair.

I love these awesome boots but I wanted them in dark brown so I created it myself

Awesome boots but couldn't get this exact boot in dark brown so I created it. Check it out

Good boot so far but it's only been a few weeks. Not really wide enough so still pretty tight. But i have wide feet and it is what it is. These are 13 EE and so far they do what they're supposed too.

It's a good boot works nice but gets a little hot sometimes

First off these are comfortable and great looking boots. Although the venting is great while riding my motorcycle, at work it's almost unnoticed. The waterproof liner is what really makes these workhog XT boots hot in the first place, and really just isn't needed anyway. If these boots didn't have the waterproof liner they would be a 5 star boot. I know the regular workhog boots don't have the liner but they also don't look as nice or at this time offered with a ventek upper.

I've been wearing these boots daily for over a month now. I install internet for work so my boys definitely get a lot of use and wear. Climbing ladders up telco poles, going in attics, all types of yards, etc. These boots definitely are definitely made of great quality. Super tough. Love the VentTEK tech. It's super hot in central TX so super happy I get to wear boots with a ventilating upper. Also love that they're waterproof because they're the only pair of work boots I own so they have to be ready for wear every day. As far as comfort goes, I initially loved the feel because they were super soft. Now I'm noticing that there isn't much support in the heel section. It feels a little sunken in. I would love more support on the heels since I'm on my feet 9+ hours a day. I'm consistent on the type of socks I wear and they don't feel as snug anymore. Wish I would've gone with the BOA system. Don't want to be slipping around in attics. Overall, I gave it a 4 out of 5 since I know they're super durable and will last a long time but comfort could be a little better (maybe just figuring out a better insert for more support).

Boots look good but the fit is not as good as I wanted. Haven't even been able to wear them for a full day. Super tight across the instep even after having them stretched. Sent feedback to ariat didn't get a response

They run small and are very stiff compared to my other ariat boots I own

I just purchased these and am having to return them due to being to small. My other arias boots are 12 EE and so that is what I ordered but these must run small and narrow as well. Am re ordering more boots just a reminder if they don't say wide you got to go up one size to make them comfortable.

Great boot just not good quality leather for the price the leather should be better

They were good boots for a while. I've had them for roughly 5 months but have started to notice what seems like stitching coming loose. The boots have their u-turn tech but don't seem very easy to take off. I was hoping to get the same lifespan out of these as I normally have with my ariat boots.

I live ariat boots but these sre extremely small. Typically to break in a pair of boots it takes 3 to 4 days, 10h work day and nothing. It hurt my feet so bad that I can not wait to remove them when I get home. I would recommend arait boots if you find your right size.

This is at least my 3rd, if not 4th pair of the exact same size and style Ariat Work Boot, over the span of several years. Up until this pair, I have loved them. The others, I could wear 16+ hours a day and walk countless miles and my feet never hurt. After a couple months of trying to break this pair in, I am waving the white flag. If anyone wants a size 10D, I will gladly give them away. I bought these along with a pair of Ostrich skin on the same purchase and neither fit, or are as comfortable as the multiple Ariats I have purchased in the past for both work and pleasure. I was used to being able to wear Ariats for 10K steps a day and never even thinking about having uncomfortable feet. Not the case with these. I hate to look for another brand, but I can not accept uncomfortable boots.

I purchased my regular size. Too large. Ordered one size smaller. Tried to return the first order. No communication back from Artiat. Last purchase I'll make from them.

Ordered these boots 8-11-22 it showed they were available. Found out after calling a month later that they wouldn't be available until 4-23. No email, call or text telling me that. But send me multiple emails and texts every day about new items I should buy. I've bought countless pairs of ariat boots and shoes and apparel over the years and couldn't find these boots at any store in my size. Thinking I would order them and get them online was obviously a mistake. Only leaving 1 star cause 0 isn't an option.
