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.

Received the wrong boots. Received the non-steel toe version instead of the steel toe version. Threw my old boots away assuming these would be good. Once I realized what I received was non-steel toe, I contacted customer service. They said I have to return the boots before they'll fix the issue. Doing that would leave me bootless at work which wouldn't go so well. So I guess I'll shop elsewhere and maybe they can get my order right the first time.

I work in the carwash industry and im always on my feet or near water so i needed something waterproof and comfortable. These boots fit the bill. However it's only been a few months and i've already worn a hole through the bottom. if you walk on concrete all day or do any serious work i would not recommend these boots. If you do more light duty or walk on soft terrain then i'd recommend. Overall comfortable nice feeling boot. Just couldn't handle the work load.

I am writing to complain about the boots I purchased under order #31033746 on April 24, 2026. I bought them for heavy-duty outdoor work in rough terrain, brush, and mud, expecting ARIA boots to withstand these conditions.
Unfortunately, the soles started coming apart almost immediately. I am very disappointed with the quality and durability. I am now looking for new work boots, and unfortunately, they will not be ARIA.

The heel stitching broke wide open after just 7 months of light use. DO NOT BUY. Poor stitching quality

Have definitely had better Ariat boots. The fit is good bur the material around the ankles rubs bad. For me these were a waste of money because they aren't comfortable enough to wear all day like I do my other boots.

I loved these boots at first. Comfy, stayed dry and stood up to my job. But after 4 months, the leather is cracking and water gets in. These boots did not hold up to my active job. Will probably not buy Ariat again unfortunately.

These boots are awful. I’ll never buy another pair of ariat boots. Made my feet hurt horribly ankles and knees even worse. These boots should be in the do not order list.

Been wearing them for about 2 months and the sole is already separating from the leather and the tread breaking off in chunks. I can tell these boots wont last me more then 6 to 9 months

Fit and size was ok.
They are 100% NOT waterproof.
Wouldn't recommend near water AT ALL.
I wasted all of my dollars with that expectation.

Received the wrong boot: Very disappointed that I received the wrong boot I ordered online! Now I have to go thru the inconvenience of the returning process and wait for my refund for a mistake not made by myself and thinking if I should even reorder the ones I wanted in case the mistake is happened again I needed the boots by a certain date and did not have them for work. Very disappointed

Both heels ripped after 3 months: I work in excavation and spend a combination of time in machines, in the dirt and mud, year round. These boots worked well until they didn't. I oil them bi-weekly to prolong their life, but there isn't much I can do when the heel starts to separate.

Torn: I bought mine a few months ago and the backs of both boots are already torn in the same place. Pricey boots for this to happen.
