Customer Reviews Ariat Work Treadfast 8" Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots

Great boots minus one exception: Great boots!! They're exactly as they're are described. Steel toe isn't heavy but you can feel it. And they are 100% waterproof. I've been in mud and puddles of water up to my ankle and my foot has remaind dry. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because the first pair I had the bottom of the boot under the flat of my foot tore about 2 inches from normal work boot wear and tear causing water to get into the boot. It seems this issue is common and I'm not the only one who's had it.

Boots feel well made and durable, and fit fantastically after having been broken in. Can't say anything to the longevity of the boots, given how little time I've had them as of yet, but so far so good. One word of advice though. The website has a "tell us shoes you already have and we'll recommend a size for you" tool. It's a nice idea, but if you normally wear a "wide" size, I'd recommend getting the wide size regardless of the recommendation from the site.

These boots are perfect for my job being on my feet for 8 to 10 hours a day walking over metal and concrete

Nice upper boot but I would like a thicker sole. I feel ground textures while walking unlike my many pairs of CAT footwear I own

Recently purchased these and while they are a great pair of work boots with one exception; in the right boot there is a seem that can be felt through the insole of the boot that does cause some discomfort. Other than that issue, they are a great pair of boots! High recommend!!!

Switched to these from Wolverine boots because most of my coworkers have them and swear by them. When I first bought them, I thought they were amazing! Great comfort and price. Closest thing I found to a military boot in work wear. However, after 5mos of daily wear on outdoor construction sites, the heel cap began to separate from the leather on the back of the boot. Had to gorilla glue them back together. Not sure if I will buy again.

They are comfortable I cannot speak to their wear as I've only have them for about a month and a half but they are NOT AT ALL waterproof. I had to do some light pressure washing at work and my feet were both soaked from the top of my foot down, ankle up was dry. I oiled them thinking that may help stepped in a puddle that was about half way up my actual foot (maybe 2"deep not over the top of the foot portion of the boot) didn't stand in the puddle but had to take maybe three steps through it and my feet were both soaked. Then it takes days for them to dry out. I've had non-waterproof boots be more water resistant than these. Will update on the wear of the boots once I've had them longer. As of now I'd recommend them but would caution on the lack of water resistance.

Great boot. Just not for job. If you work railroad or anything walking on rock all day this boot isn't for you. You can feel every rock through the boot with every step. Thought I would give them try but now they are just boots my son uses at his job. Had to get something with a harder sole

Not Waterproof: Pretty comfortable boots, they are however definitely not waterproof and the tread wears out fairly quickly.

Good boot but tearing out before one year. These boot are very comfortable, but the top of the heel cover is already tearing at 9 months. I thought I would give Ariat a try, but it looks like I have to go back to Red wings. I can't afford replacing every year.

Nice boots but lacking in comfort: Good build quality and love the look of them but found them very tight in the toe and the seams irritate the tops of my feet after a day of work so unfortunately don't really ever wear em

They feel very heavy on your feet, they are very warm too for not being insulated, the top lace slips off the top of the tonge very easily as they are just about the same height. I like my boots tied tight and I'm unable to do that with these due to the location of one of the cleats, it digs into the ball on the side of your foot.

by far the heaviest boots i've ever wore. blows slip on boots out of the water. so far this is the only boot i've never worn out. because they suck so bad to wear.

Haven't had them long and are already falling apart.

I just bought my first pair of Ariat boots and I must say I'm pretty disappointed with the purchase. I paid extra for waterproof boots and they are simply anything but waterproof. I've had them only a few weeks and the first rain we had my feet got absolutely soaked. I can honestly say this will be the last pair of Ariat boots I buy. My last pair was Kodiak and I had them almost a year and my feet never got wet the first time. Do better Ariat.

This boot did not feel so good on my foot. I also have a concern with the black material above the ankle which wraps around the sides and back of the boot from the upper grommets. This material seems similar to a material on my current boots that is failing. That area needs to be made more of leather for durability reasons. I returned these for a refund.

These boots are super comfortable. I work in a poultry processing plant. I am on my feet 10 hours a day six days a week. It is very wet and nasty. This is my 3rd pair of these boots. I have had the same problem with all 3 pairs. After only 4 months, the soles of both boots start to separate from the top of the boots.

Comfortable but poor quality: These boots i think are just for looks. sure ,they are comfortable but the quality is poor. they did not last as much i i would have expected,they started to rip at the fron where the composite toe meets the leather and water started to get into them.all this after about Four months of daily use.
