Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby Western Boots

I find these boots to be super comfortable and super useful. Unfortunately, after a few months of owning them, the leather began separating from the sole (next to my big toe). I was unaware of any kind of replacement policy, so I didn't return them. I still wear them, out of necessity. And, other than taking on water in a few torn places, they're still very comfortable and continue to protect my feet. If they ever go on sale, I'd probably buy myself another pair.

Nice looking boots run small. Was really excited about them when I opened the box. I wear ariat boots now so ordered same size but couldn't even get them on so had to send them back .

These boots are so beautiful but the width does not fit my foot. Had to return them

This boot may be good for some people. I have always had a narrow foot and the C width is still tight. They also have ahigher heel and throw all of your weight on the front of your foot. Pretty, but not terribly practical.

They are nice boots but they aren't true to size I had to return cause they were to big so when you order do a half size smaller than you wear

For the most part these are comfortable boots right out of the box. I ordered EE and they still fit a little narrow. They were spot on with length. Working on breaking them in and stretching the leather.

Maybe I will grow to love these boots but I'm not sure. I think they look pretty good. They are slip on with no issues putting them on my feet but fit very loose around my ankles and calves. Functionally these boots are convenient for slipping on and running out of the house for errands. As for comfort I'd say they are just ok. I purchased these boots online and I hate returning things so I kept them- if I had tried them on in the store I would not have been inclined to purchase them.

I used to have no problem with fit on these terrain boots. Now the same size I have always worn is much narrower than before. I am disappointed.

Like the boots as I've worn this pair for the last few years now no issues. However these boots gives me a rash on my legs. Only worn them now twice and broke out in a rash. Just beware.

I literally can wear these boots for every occasion and have. I wore them hiking , to a wedding with a nice dress( love that there shaft is short) riding on my electric scooter and to work at Boot Barn. Would highly recommend.

So the boots were delivered while I was on a hunting trip in Louisiana. Just got home and opened them up and gotta say not really impressed yet. I have worn western style boots my whole life and though I never once have tried a pair of Ariat boots and so I did. While the comfort is there I really don't see the quality. They appear to be very cheaply made so I am anticipating buying another pair of my boots elsewhere very soon but we shall see I reckon. My star rating is in the middle at this point.

Too floppy at the top. Uncomfortable. Probably will return.

Runs big and wide is WIIIDE. I got a size 9 wide and it was way too big so I had to return it. I then purchased an 8.5 wide. I still have too much toe space. I consider myself to have wide feet (often buy wide shoes), but even when I pull my laces as tight as possible (like, there is no more space to get any tighter) they aren't quite tight enough. I'm really disappointed that they only have a return policy and not an exchange policy. I like the flexibility the boots allow for work and riding though. Just really disappointed that they didn't fit as advertised. I should've gotten an 8 regular.

I bought these last year thinking they would stretch but I cant wear them they are brand new, they just wouldn't stretch to be comfortable I bought a 8 wide they a great, but it was after the time that I can return them so I have a brand new pair sitting in my closet. I emailed and nobody contacted me I just want to exchange

Great boot except for color. They are very comfortable, but are not really black, rather a weird shade of blue. "Distressing" looks a bit like mildew.

I borrowed a pair of Ariat hikers from a friend when I went to Iceland for 11 days. I loved them, rode for days, and hiked all over. No blisters, lots of room for warmer socks. I decided to buy a pair of my own. Have to say I do like them, but disappointed on the padding. The older pair has a nice soft fluffy top and extra padding in the boot, also the tongue of the boot is very thick, could not even feel the laces. Ariat must have decided to save a few pennies and cut down on that. I find the boot now moves around more, and I had to find something to put under the tongue to stop the laces digging in. It's to bad they decided to do that.. Went from an amazing boot you could wear all day, to one you wear to ride, put your horse away, and take them off.

This was my first pair of boots - ever. Ariat was highly recommended. Took a bit to break in, but once I did I loved them. I wear them for working around our small farm (nights & weekends). Now, about 9 months in, the stitching on the top of one boot has come out. I do nothing that rubs the top of the boots - just walking & squatting down. I already bought another pair - I hope they hold up better. For the price they should last more than a year.

I bought these boots back in May and they are already smooth on the bottom. I wear these boots everyday for work and for around the farm. They are super comfy and I love them but I am just disappointed in the fact that the bottoms wore down so quickly.

wish they came in wide width, have a pair regular width just to tight

I have been wearing Ariat for years, I got my first pair before I could even drive. Now my last two pair have been VERY NARROW!! Do they not come in a wider size? Why did they start making them so narrow now? :-( Love the boots and I buy a new pair every year but I might have to return this pair for another brand if they don't come any wider but I really want to stick with Ariat!

Bought these boots because my older pair of all-leather Terrain Pro boots finally died and apparently they don't make that model anymore. I have wide feet, and my old pair of Heritage boots were not comfortable enough to work in all day as a groom. These newer boots were wide enough and very comfortable and easy to break in, however, they have not lasted nearly as long as I have come to expect out of my Ariats (all my other pairs have lasted 5+ yrs). It has been less than 2 years at approx. 2-3 days/week of wear and already they are trashed. The suede is cracked through all around where it meets the sole and there are holes at the seams on the sides of the toes that let all the arena sand into my boots. Overall, these boots are comfortable for teaching or working around the barn but I would call them "light duty" and not expect them to last very long.

These boots have a very DULL finish...no shine as shown in the picture...not as pretty as the picture

Got a over a year ago and the the soles on the bottom of the boots are already wore out. I'm really disappointed at them because I've had got yours boits before. And never wore it like that. And remind you I did not wear fall summer long. I just started wearing again. Probably, in September.

Very uncomfortable the toe is way too pointy. Old style much better

I love these boots. They are comfortable and fit well, but the back of the right boot tore on me. They dont seem to hold up well.
