Customer Reviews Ariat Hilo Stretch Lace

Fits as expected for the size; very comfortable and stylish. Shipping was fast and accurate. Highly recomend this shoe if you are looking for an alternative to the "boat shoe"!

Well constructed shoe for warm weather. Easy on/off design.

I wear these every day now, its like cheating. I have a collection of boots at home and I find myself putting these in instead. These shoes are light, easy to put on and take off and they are so comfortable. I have two pairs now.

They are nice but not sure they fit my lifestyle. They are comfortable.

Still havent received the correct product. Was sent the wrong shoes. Comtactrd them. Sent WRONG shoes back. STILL HAVE NOT received the correct shoes. No emails from customer service. No updates. Nada.

This segment of the footwear market is a crowded one, and I have tried several brands. I was delighted to discover that Ariat had a line of ultra-light casuals, as Ariat is my go to brand. The soles are surprisingly supportive, with a thick and durable material. Multiple machine washings have always returned them to like-new condition with no fading. Great shoes! Just buy them.

This is my third pair of Hilo shoes, but these are far different than they used to be made. The back of the shoe is not reinforced like the other pairs were, so they don't hold their shape and collapse whenever they are put on. The material on the tongue is much thinner and constantly jamming underneath the laces. Disappointing compared to how they used to be made.

Not that comfortable. Can't replace the insoles, they are not removable

Looks great. Have received multiple compliments. Would purchase again

Unfortunately, the patterns didnt come close to matching on the shoes, to the point i couldnt bring myself to wear them, and I returned them. They also seemed to run big.

These are very comfortable shoes. They are well made and durable. Definitely won't be my last pair I purchase

Comfortable canvas dock shoe at a fair price. Have not worn much since purchasing so cannot attest to how they may hold up yet. Get back to me about mid summer

They are good product at fair price. They don't stand out but still make a statement.

These are a way better shoe than the competitor option(s) out there. It has an arch, real sole, and sides that are supportive yet its still comfortable like a slipper. My go to daily shoe!

Very comfortable, better than the other brands.... fit matches boot sizing.

I wore them all week at the NCBA convention and still a little stiff.

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.

Shoes looked nice & normally ariats are my favorite. Unfortunately these fell apart after wearing only a couple times!

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

Most comfortable shoes Ive wore in a long time!!!

These shoes were better than expected. My husband typically only wears Ariat boots. He was gifted some Hey Dudes last year that he wore occasionally...liked how easy they were to slip on and off but didn't feel they offered much support. Knowing his love for ariat cowboy boots, I decided to check for options Ariat carried in a similar style to hey dudes. These were perfect. The second he put them on he could feel a major difference in support. I am amazed at how often he goes for these, even over his boots. We live in snowy Iowa and he feels his feet stay warm and dry in these shoes even in the winter months. My dad, also a picky shoe wearer and hard to buy for individual, even commented on them. I plan to gift him a pair as well!

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

Love the look, casual but sturdy. Good for all day wear and to add a little comfort to your step. Always get a complement or two when wearing.
