Customer Reviews Ariat Fatbaby Western Boots

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.

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.

I ordered a pair of Fatbabys with big hopes they would be the answer for my wide feet to be comfortable at work where cowboy boots are required. They were adorable! Unfortunately, the wides were not wide enough for me and were more rigid than regular cowboy boots. So waiting for them to stretch wasn't going to help. I ended up purchasing men's wide square toe cowboy boots that would stretch. I was also disappointed that the uppers were not leather and that some reviews said they would show wear fast. That said, if they fit, they're probably worth the price if you cover the upper with jeans.

Boots are super cute but not very comfortable The toes is really tight and the heels flip up and down.

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.
