I like this boot a lot. I would have kept them except that it was too wide in the heel and was slipping. In general I love Ariat shoes and boots.

I love the look of this boot - especially the sole with orange rim around and on the heel and the wrinkle in the front. They look sharp. But I could not find a size that fits me. I am somewhere around 8-8.5. The 8.5 is so loose in the heel that my foot slips up with every step. The 8 is so tight in the toe area and instep that my feet feel like they are in a press, even though the length feels right and so does the heel. My feet are on the wider side (measure between B and C width) but most boots/shoes fit fine in normal width. I guess they just don't work for my feet.

I am a fan of Ariat but these boots are a big disappointment. The toe box is snug and the heel is too roomy. Even that I could have put up with. But the things that makes me want to give these away is the fact they are very difficult to walk in. Hiked in the woods for 4 days wearing these hoping they would improve, but no such luck. They are very unstable and stiff causing my feet to roll and take the brunt of uneven terrain. I have had a few Ariat boots in the past and never had this problem. Would not recommend these at all.

I got two pairs (olive and brown) initially in a size 10 from amazon; thinking I wanted to wear a thicker sock being it's going to be winter; well, they looked and felt huge; I sent them back and ordered directly from Ariat. Typically, I am a firm 9.5, but most often if I can't get a 9 best go to the 10, especially in a winter season boot. So, the 10 was huge and the 9's were perfect. These boots are beautiful, and you will be complimented so get used to it! Hope this helps!

I loved these for support/fit/style. They are a bit heavy also. The downside for me was that they were narrow.

I purchased the Barley Brown colored boots. I love how thick the soles are. They really absorb the shock to the bottom of my feet when jumping down from equipment. Very well made and durable. These were my first pair of Ariat boots. I often step wrong on uneven surfaces and twist my ankle, these boots support my ankle well and I have no problems. I am going to purchase this boot again.

The most beautiful boots ever...I waited patiently for them to go on sale and they did, but they are very narrow. Can't fit my orthotics in there. But their beauty persuaded me. No room for socks, let alone thick ones. I'll be wearing knee highs, I guess. Love that they are waterproof. They are the perfect shade of green. It's summer in Florida, so next winter escape, I'll be showing them off. Wish I'd have found them before my Ireland trip last December.

Love the boots! Unfortunately, way too narrow. Normally, I wear a 9M. I do not have a wide foot in any other brands. Doubt a 9 1/2 would have made enough difference in width. Bummer, back they go.

Fit was fine but essentially the shoes were just too heavy for my needs - very comfortable in general and rugged just didn’t suit the need I was looking to fill - love the style and look etc, just overall to heavy

Love these boots. Hardly any break in period. Great color, May have to buy the green. They are heavy, but on your feet its not as noticeable. I would recommend them if your looking for a good looking waterproof boot!

I so wanted these beautiful, well-made boots to stay with me for many years. But at size 7.5 the toe box is tight, the heel very roomy. Going up a half size would not have improved the fit for me. Also, the weight of these boots is quite hefty, too much for my 4'11" frame. Reluctantly I had to return them.

These boots are true to size, comfortable, and attractive. The button on the strap on the back is a bit hard to put on and take off, but hopefully will wear in a bit after time.

Just got these boots and was pleasantly surprised they are much darker than the photos. I ordered 1/2 size up after reading reviews and have found this to be the right decision. I am disappointed that one boot has a wrinkle and the other is virtually smooth. I don't really care one way or the other, but would like them to look the same. I find it frustrating these will have to be returned and reordered and that's why I am giving them 3 stars. I expect to return re: size, but not appearance.

These ran a bit small, and also the shoes felt very heavy. They have quite a thick sole, so they have good cushioning, but also because of that they felt very heavy.

A great looking boot! It just wasn’t for my left foot?. Zipper seamed to rub my heel & insert was not soft enough. As I said, my right foot was happy. My left, not so much.

I've always loved the comfort, fit, arch support, style, and quality of my long lasting Ariat boots. While attractive, these boots were very narrow in the toe box, and very wide in the heel. The zipper was very difficult to move, but I imagine that would ease over time. The snap was so hard to unsnap that I thought I might end up pulling the snap right of the ankle tab. I did manage to get the snap undone and get the boots on. Same problem when I took the boots off - very difficult to unsnap to remove the boots. If you have a wide heel and your foot is narrow at the toes (straight and narrow with no bunion) these might be perfect for you. I wish the fit was right for me, I would've kept them with the hope of the snap and zipper relaxing over time.
I'd also recommend:
Taos, Sam Edelman, John Fluevog, Manolo Blahnik, Michael Kors, Varda.

Extraordinarily small. These are cute, but they have a platform heel (this was not clear to me in the listing, though I think that is my fault, as the measurements do list it), and they are EASILY a full size smaller than marked. So narrow they hurt my feet to try on, and I have narrow feet! So I had to return them.

The shoe is beautiful and well constructed boot but the lining fold where the zipper is rubs on the heel and it's painful. Unfortunately, this is a one hour boot not the work boot I needed. I do get compliments for the green color though.
