Customer Reviews Ariat ShiftRunner

Was disappointed in these shoes. Support is good but the material, especially on top, is hard and hurts my feet. My feet don't feel protected. Material is also thin so my feet are constantly cold.

Got these shoes in May to wear at work. I work in a medical office so I'm up and down and on my feet a lot. The shoes are comfortable however I've had them for 6 months and the sole is starting to come off already. For the price I would think they would last at least a year.

The shoe started out great. I purchased the shoes in June 2024 and loved the color, fit and support. However, the beginning of October 2024 the fit and support was no longer there. The shoe started to separate and the sole was worn out. I'm on a tile floor for 10 to 12 hours a day and wanted something that was cute but comfortable. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for me.

I am an avid Ariat fan and have been for YEARS. From horseback riding, showing, farm work, and work in the hospital, I've always loved their shoes and it's the only brand I will wear. My feet never feel tired or sore! This is why I was so excited about this sneaker style. Unfortunately, they just do not hold up. Felt great on day one but by day 2, my feet were sore and fatigued within 2 hours. Love the look of these shoes, but would not purchase again.

Meh.. they are non slip but not that comfortable after 10 hours on a hard floor.

I was somewhat disappointed in these shoes. My back still hurts at the end of a shift at work (I am on my feet continually).

These shoes fit great and really helped with leg fatigue from being on my feet all day at work. Unfortunately, one of the shoes is already ripping significantly on top where the heat seam ends near the laces after less than 30 uses. I will be needing to fine a replacement soon.

I like the shoes but there is nothing about sizing on information they are about 1/2 to small and very narrow. But they are very comfortable to be in your feet all day in.

So far the shoes have held up however there's very little padding for running and the toe slides down to a point squishing the foot top down.

I really wanted to like these and the other work shows I tried. My Heritage paddock boots are my longest-lasting shoes I have, and I wear through shoe support quickly! Since these are also 4LR system shoes, I was looking forward to the same level of support that I knew worked well for me and lasted a long time. Unfortunately not. Whatever made my paddock boots so supportive is completely absent from these shoes (and the other 4LR shoes I got, and had to return as well). When I first tried them, weren't comfortable or supportive like my paddock boots at all. Cushioned, yes, but they lacked any real helpful biomechanical support. If there is actually a shank in these shoes (as claimed by diagrams of the 4LR system), it's useless. Right out of the box, the soles of these bent in the midfoot area in an even arc when bent from the toe and heel. If the shank was actually sufficient, the sole should have just bent at the ball of the foot and toe area, not the midfoot. Even after 8 years, my paddock boots still pass this midfoot flexion test. These failed, immediately. Not sure how I'm supposed to try any other shoes when the technology (4LR in this case) is so severely inconsistent.

These are very comfy and were very comfy for a 12 hour shift. However these claim to be fluid resistant but my feet always got wet even if a drop of water hit my shoe. They are also ripping on the side, I thought they would hold up longer for the price.

The shoes are nice, but too small. I wear a 7.5 in every brand. However, Ariat's sizes run small.

Worst shoes I have had in a long time. No support on arch or sides of shoes. Causes my feet pain within a couple hours of wear and much of that was while sitting.

I bought the Ariat ShiftRunner shoes for my sister as a gift since she going to school to be a nurse. She strictly wore the shoes in the hospital for work. They lasted less than 6 months from purchase, very disappointed!

I have been buying size 9 Ariat boots and sneakers for years. This pair was advertised to be true to size but they are too small and uncomfortable. I would have ordered a size 9.5 if I had known. Otherwise the sneakers seem very nice.

I've worn these shoes for a little over a year and the seams on the top of the shoes have totally fallen apart. I'd expected they'd last longer, given how much I paid for them, but I'm seriously disappointed in the lack of durability. Ariat's quality has been steadily going downhill for years and I'll be switching to other companies for my every day equestrian needs.

I am a warehouse manager. Basically I keep inventory count and stock, drive a forklift. I bought these for the Osha approved feature and of course Ariat Manufacturers awesome boots. These are horrible. Truly horrible. The in sole pretty much crumbled within the first 30 days. I had to replace those. Once you see the pics, hopefully you'll steer clear of these.
