These Boots Are Holding Their Own on the Job
Durability: So far, these boots are holding up great. The tread grips well in muddy job site conditions, and they’ve been extremely water-resistant even after long days in wet environments. I expect them to last.Wearability: They run a bit snug out of the box—especially if you wear thick socks—but they’ve been gradually breaking in. Just something to note for all-day wear.Style: Clean and simple design. They look good for both the job site and casual wear, but don’t expect them to stay sharp-looking if you're around drywall dust daily.Stiffness: There's a bit of stiffness at first, which is expected for work boots. They're supportive without feeling like bricks on your feet.Leather Quality: The leather feels solid, but it does dull out quickly—most likely because I’m in and out of drywall-heavy areas, which tends to suck the moisture right out. A little-used motor oil helps.Scuff Resistance: They’ve picked up some wear marks, but nothing unexpected. The uppers are still holding shape.

Great pair of boots.
These have been a great pair of boots have had them for over 7 years so very durable, and the leather still look good. they have protected my feet from the hot exhaust on the bike. I have walked on about anything you can think of and not had any issues with slipping or traction. Well other than oil covered roads and ice.

Great quality, lets see how they break in!
Great fit, still can't review the comfort or durability as I'm in the break in period. I will say they scuff but I don't care about that too much. But even now, it feels good. Knees didn't hurt at the end of the day, after walking on concrete for 8 hours, and it's easy to take on/off, but it holds my foot in place perfectly. Slip resistance is amazing, working on oily/wet floors all day as a mechanic.I wouldn't recommend getting a wide size unless you've tried it in person. I thought I was a 10W but it actually slightly slipped on me when I tried it at my local boot barn. Got a 10 regular online, since they only had a 10W in person, and it fits perfectly.

My New Shoe Review- Crap Shoot
I read all the reviews and as usual, eliminated 50% of the bad reviews. I want to like these, I ordered the usual size I wear; 12W(EE). For me, I tried them with my normal "thick" socks, NO way I could get them on! Tried them with thin dress socks.... and with all my might, I got them on. Once on, they felt a bit small in the instep, arch/ top of foot- see my second picture. I have a high instep and they felt OK once on, but a bit on the tight side- as do some lace-up shoes do when new. I tried them both around the house for an hour or so and felt as if they were going to stretch out.At first glance, I thought as many other reviewers complained about that they would be too big. For me, with boots, I want them to stretch to fit due to the fact that there are no laces to tighten. But I want them to be easier to put on than they were.I will try my old trusty wooden shoe stretchers for a day or so to see if they loosen up in 'my' problem spot.Other fitment areas: toebox is adequate, heel slide is ok to large. All in all, I have only purchased a few pairs of shoes online and am learning that it is often a crap shoot!Amazon was late on delivering these to me, 9 days is not what I am conditioned for here!

Great for work and every day wear.
Purchased as a gift for my son. He’s an electrician and requires a heavy duty and quality boot. He loves them for work and has a pair for everyday use.

I will always be a fan of these boots!!
Huge fan of Ariat boots. When I wear one pair down. They become my work boots for the barn. The new ones are always for going to town in. The fit and size is always amazing. The upper is soft enough where it doesn't dig into your shin.

Great boot
The durability style and quality the airat always has the fit is a little snug but as with any quality leather boot, they’re gonna be slightly stiff and a little bit tight to start with get some mink oil and a boot stretcher and work with it. It will take some time to break in, but my other pair has lasted three years. You will put them on and think I know these are entirely too small but you can’t get these broken in. You get good traction on a slip resistant boot, and the leather is nice and thick where it matters and they’re stylish. Lol
