Customer Reviews Ariat Hilo

I ordered the size I normally would in the distressed flag pattern, and when they arrived I could barely get them on. Then when on I could feel the back of the heel wasn't straight, but leaned hard into the back of my foot, which would have caused a nasty blister if I had tried wearing them. The toebox was also too tight. There's no way I could wear these comfortably, and I had to exchange for a size up (no half sizes available). Not sure what happened with these shoes, as I own several pairs of western boots and slip-on shoes from Ariat, and they all fit just right! I've worn out a few pairs of Ariat boots over the years. All the same size that I ordered in these shoes and when I held them up to one of my new pairs of slip-on shoes for comparison, I could even see that the heel was straighter on those, nothing to dig into my foot, and the toe was maybe a half-size longer too

These r great shoes but for me a tight toe box. I normally am a medium/regular shoe so it surprised me tge shoes r so tight and no option for wide. Same experience for two Ariat shoes.

Looks-wise, these shoes are adorable. Fit-wise, they are just "okay" for me. They are a bit too wide, and they gave me a blister on my heel because the back of the shoe rubbed against it while walking. They're also not as comfortable as expected. I think I will stick with Ariat riding boots instead of their every day shoes. (I'm a size 9 in Ariat boots, so I thought the sizing would be comparable.)

I bought some because I thought they were so cute. They definitely rub your heel and I came untied (and I cannot retie them right for the life of me!) The toe was tight at first and now they feel too big, like they have stretched.

Don't buy online. I never got half my order. After I inquired still no response.

I already have a pair of these in a different color and bought the same exact size, but the recent pair is too small so pretty disappointed about that. Hopefully they stretch.

After a few wears, the shoe started to separate from the sole. The fit for my foot was a little tight initially but better after 3 or 4 wears. The design and color are super cute! I just wouldn't recommend if they're going to be used often or for longer periods. I was a little disappointed because I know that Ariat makes a lot of amazing products!

Super cute print and the soles would be comfortable except they're SO. NARROW. I'm doing everything I can to stretch them out because I really want to wear them, but not if my foot goes numb.

I love the fabric version of the Hilo, however the embossed leather is very rigid and tight. I don't think they took into account that leather would not stretch like the cloth does.

These shoes are my go to when its cold (Arizona) they are easy on, light, comfortable and cute. Living in Arizona thats all you need. Perfect! Please never faze them out . I need more! Thank you for such a great shoe. Laurie Roberson

Cute design and very light but so uncomfortable to wear! I'm usually never disappointed with Ariat's boots and shoes. Never had any problems with discomfort, even when breaking new ones in. These on the other hand caused blisters on the back of my feet. Everytime I walked, I can feel it digging into my foot. It didn't matter what type of sock I used, the problem still occured. I had used these on vacation and required a lot of walking. Although they were comfortable on the sole, walking became nearly unbearable with the constant rubbing on the back. I ended up having to put bandaids on just to avoid more irritation but only gave minor relief. Based on other reviews, this seems to be a common issue.

I first tried these on in my regular size in the store however were too small. So i ordered a size on line. The problem is the back of the shoe rubbing up against my ankle. No matter what size, whether it was half size bigger or not the ankle part is SO tight.

I've tried two different sizes and they are too small to get on. In every shoe I wear I'm always a 9. I ordered a 9, way too small. I ordered a 9 1/2 still way too small and I have to return them again. Pretty disappointed cause I really liked them

It was a great shoe for the first month but the stitching began to break off after a few weeks. Not recommended for a long term shoe.

i love the look & feel of the shoes but they squeek bad when I walk! It's very annoying!!

I have worn Ariat for years but these are not really all that comfortable and rub blisters through socks :/

They canceled my order telling me it was out of stock when the website still let me buy it .

Runs small, tried on at the store but bought online and they came smaller then the ones I had tried on.

shoes are to narrow for my fat feet so make them in a wide please

Not the same as the old Hilo. The picture is not what you will receive. The back is not cushioned or sturdy. The same size that I have had for four other pairs of the same pattern does not fit me.

They did not fit!!! Size 10 fit like a size 8. Will return
