I loved the look and feel and security they provided. I wish the quality was better. I only has the boots a month and the zipper lock came off after a days work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had these for a couple weeks now. Like all my other Ariat boots they fit almost perfect. They really didn't need broke in. The only gripes I have are that they need a better cushion in the sole, especially if on concrete all day. They're also pretty hot in warm weather, my feet sweat quite a bit in these.

Heel broke apart in less than 8 months. They are not worth the money. They are also extremely hot and heavy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like the boot. The sizing quiz was not very accurate and told me to order wide instead of medium. I am pretty sure I could have done ok with the wide. Have had to switch to thicker socks. I thought they fit ok at home.and then wore them to work so the. I couldn't send back to change size.

2 years in without any damage despite motorcycle riding rain or shine, heavy warehouse work, outside contracting around industrial chemicals/solvents, and still just as comfortable. These have saved my feet many times, and can hold up to my chaotic lifestyle. Fyi- purchased in fall of 2022. Still wearing these boots. If I find a better replacement I'll update this review, no matter the company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this boot for 4 months now. I waited to see if they would break in. They have not. I bought my size in wide and my foot feels squeezed. The sole is tough. And to top it off I dropped something and the edge caught my pinky toe. Had a nice little bruise from that. These are supposed to be meta boots. So overall this is the worst boot I’ve ever purchased. This was my first Ariat and my last.

Extremely comfortable

They may seem a little bulky but they aren't. They are very comfortable with excellent support. They may be a tad on the heavy side but not enough to tell a difference. This is my 3rd pair. Not because of poor quality but because my work place buys us a pair every year. This is my 3rd pair out of 4 years. The only reason I didn't get them all 4 years is the safety shoe vendor didn't have my size last year (COVID 19) I'll admit I probably wouldn't buy 3 pairs in 4 years if I had to pay for them, but I'd definitely get a new pair every other year. I gave my old pair to my nephew they were still in great shape. It takes a couple of weeks to break them in but it's not painful at all they are adjustable with the velcro. I never had a pair of Ariat until I guess 3 or 4 years ago. We had a bunch of new hires come in to the plant with them. I laughed at them and asked them if they were storm troopers or motocross riders. I told them to go get some Hytest slip ons. That's my other pair and they are comfortable and lighter but the Ariat boots are just as comfortable and they are more rugged. I'll be honest Hytest we're my boot of choice until all the new guys told me to try this boot. I couldn't believe it and I admitted to those guys they were right. So now I have my Hytest as my back up boot. It's good to rotate if u can. These are the best boots I've ever worn. I'm 49 and I've been in a heavy industrial work environment for 30 years and these are bu far MY FAVORITE METATARSAL boot. My all time favorite was the old Justin wellington but no one let's their employees wear just steel toes. I use to hate METATARSAL boots until I found these

I got these boots through my company and I just want to say I love these boots so much, I’m a pretty big dude and other boots would always hurt my feet but man these don’t, I wear these 8-12 hours everyday for work and on the weekends for my welding school also which is another 10 hours, by far my favorite boots

Zipper doesn't wear out and Velcro straps last!

Over a year of hard use in an auto shop environment with ATF, gasoline, and oils. The only thing I don't like is they get slick when it's snowing and you walk on epoxy-coated shop floors. Then rubber toe hasn't worn out in over a year of racking a vehicle, plus kicking the rack out. They keep the water out and they keep the drill bit shavings out. A big deal if you have ever gotten a metal sliver in your foot. Im on my second pair and waiting for them to come back in stock to buy a third.

Awesome boot! Fits great, exceptionally comfortable! Unmatched protection and comport, very well built and very high quality boot. I’ve always worked in Ariat boots for the last 6+ years and these are by far my favorite. Worth every penny, would recommend these guys anyone.

(boots are much darker) They lasted me almost 2 years from welding,concrete, and carpentry work i work in the bridge construction the first thing for me to wear out was the stitching on the rubber toes from welding then the straps starting tearing off and then lastly the heels

I was so excited when I got this boots . They were great for about 1 month and then the composite toe part of the boot started coming apart. And that was a big disappointment, specially for the amount of money I paid for them

Zipper doesn’t hold up

Bought these in the spring to replace another pair of Ariat lace ups. Disappointed that they do not fit as tight as a lace up, but made do for the money I paid. The leather has stayed waterproof, however they have developed pinholes in the heel that will let water in. After 6 months, the Velcro is starting to get weak, but the zippers have been the main disappointment. They have gotten stiff with use and now one has snapped and will no longer zip. The are nice boots but just not worth the money.

Hands down most comfortable boots ive ever worn. Yes they come with a higher price tag then others but, you get what you pay for. If you work in a rough environment id highly recommended. Take the advise from someone thats had broken feet along with planter fictitious. Even helped with my back pain. Always wore araits as my good boots never for work do to trashing 2-3 pair a yr. Wish i would have broke down earlier and purchesed these yrs ago.

What an good work boot, but….

The only issue I have experienced for the last 3 years I have owned them is the Velcro straps and the inside, back of the boot. The inside heel area had gotten torn up and had to have a new one installed. The Velcro straps do not last, after awhile they don’t function and is now causing defects which in return are now causing very sore feet! Being a diabetic, this is a huge concern.

I love Ariat products but I HATE these boots, wore them for months, 12 hours a day and could never break them in, they hurt my feet so bad

No laces

I assumed there would be laces under the met cover and there is not. Only the Velcro straps. I happen to have big feet but skinny legs and they do not tighten enough to close around my leg. This makes the boot clunk back and fourth as I walk on the upper. Like a cowboy boot which isn’t what I had in mind. I’ve had them about two weeks and will deal with it but once these wear out I’ll be looking for an option with laces for my next pair of boots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The boots look great they got a strong appeal to them but they are very heavy Evie and they don't send you the correct size when you order them I ordered a double E-9 and I got a 9 Other than that I really have no problems. Too expensive for the style of boop.
