Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby Western Boots

I purchased these boots for hiking purposes. It feels like your wearing a sneaker. They literally put a spring in your step. Very durable against dust and water. The traction is not what I expected but definitely a great boot.

Impressed with the waterproof, but the rubber toe cap is already peeling after 3 times of normal wear. The blistering while breaking these in weren't too bad though and it's overall pretty comfortable to wear.

Great look and quality but the fit? I had much difficulty getting my foot into the boot, then once I did, they were too large inside. I can see why so many love them but the fit just wasn't for me. Sadly had to return

I guess I'm in the minority of folks here. I don't find them wildly comfortable and I find the soft, flexible sides a pain to put on vs. regular boots.

This is my second pair of Ariat boots. The fit is great. However, I haven't worn them a ton, and in less than a year the heel is starting to peel back away from the boot. This is super disappointing! My other problem with them is just that the tread on these boots is very slippery when it is wet or snowy/icy. There is very little grip in these conditions.

They were about a size too big. I ordered my usual size. Had to return and will re order.

Love this line of boot always works for the amount of walking but will not purchase again. It will be the water proof boot. It is August have had the boots 2 months, they have fallen apart...since I work horses for a living my feet get wet a lot. The fronts of the boots and soul have literally fell off the boot.

Love the look of these boots and somewhat comfortable. However, like a lot of the other reviews, came scuffed/scratched out of the box (which I have been told is normal for distressed leather and should buff out - it didn't) and has an extremely tight instep. Was impossible for me to get my foot into the correct size, so bought the size up in a wide. Still quite tight across the top of my foot and have a little heel slippage, but manageable with thicker socks. Just disappointing for the price.

The over all boot was absolutely beautiful, but they did not fit comfortably. The wouldn't stay on my heel, even after buying a different size and width the heel still slipped w every step! I had to return both pairs and hunt for another pair that will not slip.

I like these boots but they lack in quality. This is the second pair I have owned and both of them failed in the toe area. This failed within 6 months of owning them. I wear these all the time for the support and also ride my horse in them.

These are typical "Fat Baby" boots, nice metallic shine and heavy sole. I had similar ones years ago, but donated them because of the weight. Since then had foot surgery, the boots are still as heavy but more comfortable. not an everyday color for sure. PS. I need wide width boots (foot not calf) and these are OK though not wide.

I bought these boats for my husband for Christmas. He loves them and says they are so comfortable. However, they are tearing at the seam. So disappointing, they are not even 3 months old.

Unfortunately I could nog get into the shoe, the shaft of the boot was too narrow at the bottom for my left foot. But boots looked great!! Size 38 is ok, but shaft not.

Boots are great but they place holds on twice the payment of boots plus a hold for 1.00 over the price of boots even after boots arrive hold still In place even w two phone calls my money still tied up for no reason. I will never purchase online again.

Great pair of boots ordered size down as they run big , they fitted straight out of the box very comfortable. But unfortunately 3 weeks on with continual daily wear the right boot has stretched considerably to the point where it is slipping off my foot . Due to this reason will only be giving them 3 stars if not for this they would get a full 5 star rating

Received my boots but they sent me the wrong size. Had to send them back and still waiting for the replacements. Can't wait to get the correct ones.

My boots arrived scuffed and the inside lining was already coming undone. Very cheap and you can tell its not good quality material.

I ordered these boots because they were wide and sometimes I have to go up one to two sizes. I was really disappointed to find out that I cannot order these in 11 wide but they come in a regular all the way up to size 12. 1 foot didn't even make it inside of the shoe. I wish that they actually had a real wide width shoe.

Fit great wore them all day when I got them by the end of the day I had a huge blister on my heel. The inside of the shoe on the heel is not smooth the material is bunched up can't smooth it out at all will give me a blister every time I wear them. Had to put a heel cushion in just to be able to wear them

I bought these boots 13 years ago. I loved them so much, I bought them again. This time however, they are a little different than I remember. The leather doesn't seem as thick, the color is different than when I got the first pair, both of those I can absolutely live with. But the worst part about the differences is the heel. My first pair, and in the product picture, it is a composite/wood heel. This heel is all rubber. To me, it takes away from some of the look I was going for. However, the sole is much better than my originals. These will take over the role of my everyday boot, now back on the hunt for a dressier pair.

I used the size chart and it was saying I was a 10 but I'm normally a 8.5/9. I chose to get the 9.5 and I'm glad I did because they are a bit loose but the 10 would have been way too big. I think a 9 would may have been too tight. But I'm loving these boots so much!

I am a loyal Ariat customer and have been impressed with all products but these boots are not good. I do landscaping and these boots only last 2 months for me. My feet hurt when I'm wearing a shoe that is worn out so this is how I know these boot are ready for the trash. They are waterproof and was very impressed with that! I do love the look and color of them also, just not impressed with the durability. Wish they came in a bigger size too

Runs half size big should have exchanged but it is cute just long should of went with 9.5 not 10
