Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby Western Boots

This is my second pair for fatbaby boots and I love them!

Holds up great through mud and water. Fits large so I have to wear thick socks with it.

I needed a boot for this fall and really liked the look of this one and the glowing reviews it got, especially the short break in time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some heal rubbing and dont know what to do to help it. Any ideas?

Love the look and feel of these boots. The rep told me to order them in my tennis shoe size (9.5D), but if I could go back, I'd order them 1/2 size down as them seem to run a little large (loose in the heel and a bit long). Other than that they're extremely comfortable and look great.

There was a manufacturing defect in the seam of the boot so I called customer service and I sent them back and I'm currently awaiting the refund

I love the look of the boot and they are comfortable, however I noticed the brown around the bottom of the boot is subject to scraping off the brown leather. I have scrape marks on both (I believe it is when I get in or out of my car) but I don't know how to fix it. Scratch marks going everywhere, looks like they need painted. It has been too long to return them but I haven't worn them that often. I have never had a pair of boots do this before. If there is a way to fix them I wish I could find out how, google searches not showing much. That is why I gave them 4 stars vs. 5.

These are great endurance riding and every day wear shoes. I have horrid feet and been wearing 8.5 M terrain in other colors since '92 but have worn the black for a very long time now. I worn hard orthotics since '82 and nsg school. I have to take out the insert. These are the only shoes I have NEVER walked over the soles. (Clarks were only a month before I walked them over, but those were for office work. ). I love these shoes and I have been bugging Ariat CS ever since they came out with their first wides asking for black. . Wide black have been in the "process" for decades now. The only dressy color and they can't make it wide. I have no idea what their problem is! Lots of reviewers complain at the lack of wide. I do not like distressed leather but they all seem to be that. Every little mark shows. I've had them before. So now I am going to the H2O terrain in Copper in a 9 wide. It seems the darkest. My toes need more room. I pray this solves the squished toe problem. These last about 2 years before the sole tread srarts to go in the ball of the foot and heel. They really can last 3 before there are smooth spots on the soles. Heel starts first. I have not tried other brands because they do not promote a steel shank nor stability.

I've bought all sorts of boots, but these were my first pair of Ariat. They are so comfortable compared to my Justin Gypsy. Love these Boots!

iv had my for 9 yr. love the fit of them. now i am trying to replace them. i have gone to the story and try them on but the back of heel of the boot does not fit right. not happy about it. the back of my heel flops out. help

Comfortable even with the heel on them. Durable and looks great!!

Perfect for being a groom and being on your feet all day at horse shows!

I bought these a few weeks ago for my sister in law's wedding. I was so excited when I got them in the mail because they were my first pair of cowgirl boots. They were perfect, except for one thing- 2 inches too big. I decided to go true to my "normal" size and ordered an 8. I returned them and will be ordering a smaller size. Lesson learned, order according to the sizing chart, not your normal size!

Been wearing this brand a long time, this style always. I get about 3 years out of a pair of boots on the farm, wearing them year round & in any kind of weather for all kinds of chores. I prefer a suede upper & have had a blue/purple upper combo with pale brown boot before, which I loved. I got these pink camo attrocities as a gift Xmas '15 (because my mother has no actual taste except in her mouth, & because the AB store had such a poor selection - WHY? I go home to AB to buy almost anything western because there are hardly any western stores in Manitoba where more people rife English than anything else). These pink camo boots are so bloody ugly(!)perw that I WISH they'd wear out sooner, but I guess I'm stuck with the ugliest boots on the planet for a couple of more years because, aside from being hideous & embarrassing, they are a comfortable fit & a great overall boot.

This is my third pair of Fatbaby Original. I love this boot but you have changed the inside and the sole.I wish you hadn't I liked the real originals plain no color just white stitching and leather like in the inside. I don't know how this felt like feature is going to last when continuously putting your foot in and out day in day out. I ride my horse and I ride with my husband on his Harley I liked the original sole it was very easy to walk in. These new boots I had to have stretched...didn't with my last two. My mom always said if it ain't broke don't fix it (change it)!

I love these boots! They are super gorgeous, well-made, and exactly what I was looking for and wanted in my first pair of Ariat boots! I ordered the wide so that I'd have room, and they fit very snug. They feel a bit tight, but they are so beautiful that I don't even care! I know that it will take a while to break them in because it's real leather. My Granddaddy loved his cowboy boots and I know that he would approve of this boot! I know that he's smiling from heaven! Just a warning these boots fit snug. So don't be surprised if they feel tight when you put them on. I can't wait to order my second pair..."The Heritage Western X" is up next!

This is the best boot Ive found for comfort, but the first time I had to work in the rain, my feet were soaked. I dried them in front of the heater thinking maybe I stepped in a puddle that was too deep and the water went in the top, but no, the next day....same issue! I would recommend this boot as long as waterproof wasn't necessary, it is extremely comfortable.

Bought these back I the summer. Took about 3 days to break in but I was on my feet all day. Great to do anything in, fits any stirrup, good for hiking too. Only downfall is they smell if they get wet. Not bad but enough to smell. Otherwise great boot!

These are the only boots ill ever wear. Been wearing this brand for years. Very comfortable and durable. Unfortunately, the last pair I bought the stitching has come undone on both boots. Hoping it was just a bad pair since none of the others has done this. Id give them five stars if my last pair hadn't come apart.

I have had my boots for 2 years and they still are holding up! Absolutely love them for riding and for going to work. Just wish they had better arch support I have to put my own in them.

These are good boots Working in the automotive industry in all sorts of conditions and also using them to ride, I got a little over three years out of my first pair before the soles cracked. Leather uppers still look great. Recommend good insoles, the originals in mine didn't last through the break-in period I'll be getting another pair

I have bought several pairs of these and worn them for years. My favorite boot ever to date. Very lightweight, comfortable and great for doing property maintenance and grounds work which is what I do. The only points I wish Ariat would handle are: 1) The tread wears off and then they are extremely slippery on wet concrete. 2) I wish they came in just plain black without the various colors as it is a key element when I uniform the people that work with me.

Never owned Ariat boots before and I had been lusting after my friends pair of Fatbaby boots. Finally made my first purchase of these Ariat boots in Distressed Brown. FABULOUS! I'm so happy with them... They are so comfortable, stylish and did I mention Comfortable?? Haha! Its rare to put on a pair of boots and have them fit like I've been wearing them for years. I'm looking forward to my next pair and the next.....

I got these boots for Christmas a few years ago and I still love them to this day. I like the camo on the top and got them in distressed brown. I'll admit, they aren't as comfy as my other pair of Fatbabys, but I still enjoy wearing these. I wear them to school and the store, sometimes for riding as well.

I Love my boots but they started to fall apart in the toe area, other than that they're Great !!!! I wish they would come in a larger size for my husband.

Love mine. Affordable. Comfty. I wear mine to work almost everyday.
