They look soo much better in person. Quality is excellent and the cushion at your soles is phenomenal!

Comfortable but a bit heavy. Great quality…and I love the soles. Cute and functional.

I got the ones with the butterflies on them. They look great and feel good. My feet are on the wide end of normal. I tried Merry Boots, and they were so tight! I had to take off one of my boots to drive because it was squeezing so hard while at rest. These Ariat boots haven't been a problem. I wish they had a little more vertical room in the toe area, but it's not a deal breaker. I wear these while professionally gardening, walking my dogs, volunteering at a wildlife rehab center, and more.

I am super excited about these boots! They ticked the boxes of what I was needing:
Neoprene opening is just right (not too wide, not too loose), sizing might be a hair large (I usually wear 8.5 in Ariat but I needed an 8 in these), waterproof, easy to slip on & off without my hands, and comfortable. They are a bit heavier than I was hoping for, but not more than any other rain boot. If I had to be nit-picky, I would position the red loop a bit further down / differently because sometimes this bunches behind my ankle when I slip them on (but after I fix them it doesn't reoccur with use). If the weather is warm, your feet might get a bit warm inside after an hour or two, but it's not a problem for me because I don't stand in my rain boots all day long.

These are super cute and stylish! But they also do what they are suppose to. These are my new favorite fishing boots.

Awesome rain boots. They are super comfortable. And they look great too. I normally wear size 8.5 with otherbrands. The 7.5 are the perfect fit for me with these boots.

I used to wear muck boots because i worked for a company that i could purchase them cheap but I was going through them so fast. These boots are far better than that! I work on a dairy farm and they get pretty dirty but i can spray them off and they are brand new! I could never do it that easy with muck. They are so comfortable but also light weight so im not dragging me feet

I love these boots so much and was really disappointed whwn thw rubber sole started coming apart from the shoe after only 2 months. Attempted a return for a new pair but a new pair was never sent.

I loved these boots when I bought them, they were comfortable right out of the box and they were perfect for gardening. I purchased these boots in March 2025, it is now June 2025 and they have already sprung a leak where the sole and the top of the boot are glued together near the side of the pinky toe area. I do not recommend.

I bought the Kelmarsh Shortie Rubber boot 2 times before I got the right fit for me, but once I got the right size I was thrilled. I have worn them in the rain, the mud, and the snow and they have kept my feet dry. My left boot rubs the back of my heel a little, but I just wear taller socks. As someone with wide feet, they are a little snug, but I'm hoping they loosen as with wear. Overall I really love these boots!

I purchased these boots a few years ago and have worn them nearly every day since. They've been incredibly reliable for farm work, quick errands, walking the dog, and even fishing or crabbing. They truly function as an everyday boot. After more than three years of consistent use, I'm getting ready to purchase my second pair.

I was looking for a boot I could wear outside in the winter but also inside the factory I work at and not be too hot or uncomfortable. These boots are perfect. When I first got them I thought they might be a little too narrow for my feet but I stuck with them in hopes that they would work and they do. They are comfortable, light weight and well made. I have had them and worn them everyday for about a month and have zero complaints. They slip on and off hands free.

I've been wearing these wellies for about a week. I was unsure when I ordered them...I already have ariat walking shoes which are so comfortable but have unfortunately developed a leak. I have arthritis at the base of my big toe which can be very painful. I read the reviews and decided to go up a size.....well, what can I say, I haven't taken them off since they arrived and had no trouble with pain, they keep my feet really warm too.....I managed a 4mile walk and they gave me as much support and comfort as my old ariat walking boots.....

I love these boots. I had been looking for a good waterproof boot and this is it. Easy to get on and very comfortable. I can wear them all day and my feet dont get sore. Highly recommend.

I bought these for my wife as she needed an easy on/easy off boot for mud season and those crazy rainy days. This shortie proved to be perfect! She loves the colorOliveand the for is true to size, even with her narrow foot. Her feet are always dry and she says the height not only keeps the water out, but makes for easy in and out! She says that they are the most comfortable rubber boot she has had!! So, ladies, if you need a great waterproof boot that doesn't take 10 minutes to get on and off this is your boot!! PShusbandsit makes a great gifthint, hint!!!

My wife has been wearing this style boot for years around the farm. None of them seem to hold up. The Ariat seems to have a lot better quality than the others. Tread and comfort and also better than the other competitors.

Super cute boots! The inserts are really comfortable. I have really bad feet. I kind of wish they made inserts for sneakers, haha. But, the boots are very stylish. I got the bee pair. I wish i had sized half a size down. But, not the end of the world. These will be a nice rain boot.

I have bought many rubber boots over the years for use in my barn, primarily doing chores, and also walking on 20 acres. All have had some feature I did not like. Not these. They are comfortable. Walking is easy. They are not heavy and do not cause leg fatigue. I like that they are easy on, easy off. I can slip them on without having to bend down to pull them on. I ordered my shoe size and the fit is perfect. I am pleased with this purchase.

Just bought my first pair of boots. I got the red so that I will be able to find them easily if left out doors. I wear 8 to 8.5 depending on the toe room in shoes. I tried the 8.5 which slipped a lot, the 8 my foot moved around too much, 7 was a tad short, 7.5 was perfect. The boot has a nice sole inside that is very comfortable. It is like a memory foam and there is an arch to it. I am using the boots for gardening and now my feet will be clean after walking around in the dirt. My gardens have slopes to them so these should help me moved around better then my old running shoes. I am very pleased with the boots and would buy again. Now my husband wants to buy some Ariat boots also because who doesn't love comfort.
I'd also recommend:

Nice work boots for mud season. They're a little heavier than I thought they'd be but they'll be good for the barn. Comfortable and fits true to size. Wide enough I can wear thicker socks on cold days. Nice tread and they have a thicker rubber so I thick they'll hold up well.
