Description

Growing up on a working horse farm in Pennsylvania, I was one of eight kids and spent my childhood surrounded by animals – horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats. I have a special memory of sitting in front of the TV in 1973, watching Secretariat win the Kentucky Derby. He went on to win the Triple Crown, setting records that still stand today. Secretariat’s big heart and competitive spirit were the motivations behind naming our company Ariat. Ariat was founded as “The New Breed of Boot.” We were the first to integrate athletic footwear technology into boots for equestrian athletes. Today, our world-class product team builds innovative and award-winning performance products for all types of outdoor and work environments. We are honored to be a part of your story and thank you for being part of ours.

  • Great boots
Size: 9.5 Color: Bruin Brown
I was iffy on buying them based off of the reviews but my company gives us a $200 boot allowance so I figured I’d try them. I always oil my boots but I didn’t have a chance to before I had to wear them. My first job in them was a 17.5 hr shift I work on conveyors in quarries And the top of the boot was chafing my shins and the back of my leg they kept pulling down my socks as I walked. I ended up stuffing rags around the top and I was fine after that. 17.5 hrs in mud and water my feet got wet through the boots. Not soaking wet just a little damp just enough I could feel it but that’s also 17.5 hrs constantly standing in mud which is very good considering I wasn’t able to oil them (piling them helps waterproof). But at the end of shift when I got home my feet had a little bit of an ache nothing crazy still better then my Double H boots I had before. So I ended up finally being able to Oil my boots the next day before I left for another job. Once I did that and got my over the calf socks it was game over 100% best boots I’ve owned My second job with them was at a lime stone mine and it was on concrete and again 16 hr shift and if you work on concrete you know it’ll kill your feet. I got home pulled my boots off and again just a little ache and my lower back wasn’t tight at all. But anyhow the point of this review is I work in crazy environments every day and they’ve been great boots I’ve been in mud, on concrete, on cat walks, climbing up and down conveyor structures, and at the end of the day now that they’re finally broken in I have zero pain in my feet I could wear these all day no issues. I ordered a half size down. People were complaining about them being hard to pull your feet out. I like that you don’t want to step in a mud hole and your boot come off or to be walking up a hill or something and slide around in your boot. You should always oil your boots before you wear them it helps relax the leather and water proof them I feel like that was the issue a lot of people were having them being too tight. And I’m sure oil would solved some of them complaints. Also just as a note it’s been in the 30s-40s here and my feet have stayed warm I haven’t had issues with my feet getting cold and that’s the first thing that gets cold on me besides my hands. ... show more

  • Well built.
Size: 10.5 Wide Color: Bruin Brown
A heavy quality boot. Alittle loose around the shin but fits well in the ankles so it’s not an issue for me. I wear a pair of Alpaca wool socks and my feet stay warm and dry in the snow and rain. A very stabile feel. I actually bought a pair of their insoles for $35 not knowing it was the same one that comes in the boot. I did have to buy a pair of shin pads because the breaking in period will bruise up your shin. I put mink oil on them for a conditioner. A bit pricey but I plan to get some time out of them so worth it imo. Time will tell and if they don’t holdup I will be back to say as much. ... show more

  • Horrible Boots
Size: 12 Wide Color: Bruin Brown
HELL NO! Do not buy these boots. Like other reviewers have stated they are a absolute pain in the azz to put on. I literally avoid taking them off in the middle of the day to avoid having to struggle getting them back on. The pull handles on the boots have already ripped off by having to pull soo dang hard to get them on. These crappy boots have only been used 5 months and the soles have worn like they are made of cardboard. This wouldn't be soo upsetting if i paid $100 for these things but I gave up $350 plus tax for these pieces of #%@&. For god sake I had a $70 pair of work boots from Walmart that lasted over a year and held up better than these and they actually slipped on with ease. For this much money you just expect something premium but instead you get ripped off. I got hooked by the look of these boots, don't make the same mistake. This is my first pair of Ariats and definitely my last. ... show more

  • Great Boots by Ariat
Size: 11 Color: Bruin Brown
Some have had bad luck with Ariat boots from what I have read in the reviews . For me I have had zero issues with them . Comfortable and water resistant . I have wore them in ankle deep water for periods of time and feet stayed dry . I work in a manufacturing plant in maintenance . I spend 10+ hours on my feet ranging from concrete floors to working on the property in dirt , mud and so forth . From my personal experience you spend a little more you get more mileage out of your boots . My day can consist of welding and fabrication to plumbing , framing and preventative maintenance of heavy equipment . Good buy and like the toe cap prevents the toe from wearing out faster . ... show more

  • Good tradesman boots
Size: 10.5 Color: Bruin Brown
In the trades for 12 years and have tried a lot of boots with my flat feet. These boots are pricey but worth it. I love all the bump guards for the shin and ankle. Also leaves room for toes while being a snug supportive fit at the same time

  • Excellent boots but hard to put on initally.
Size: 12 Wide Color: Bruin Brown
I love the look, the feel, almost everything about these boots. If you get these boots, be prepared for a rough time getting them on your foot... but once on your foot, they should fit just fine and are very comfortable. I was originally going to return them for a size up but I'm glad I didn't. These boots are awesome and I would give them 5/5 stars but where the shaft meets the lower part of the boot it's REALLY tight which makes it extremely difficult to get your foot into them and there's a seam on the inside above the heel that likes to fold over when your foot passes it. Perhaps, if they offered a size 12.5 it may have been a slightly better fit, but as it stands, I'll need to stretch the bottom of the shaft (somehow) to make putting them on easier. This is literally, my only complaint so far. As far as durability... unfortunately, I work in a manufacturing environment which may expose them (minimally) to some mildly corrosive chemicals so I'll need to see how the sole holds out. I'm guessing they'll hold up great, but only time will tell. ... show more

  • They are tough!!

These are awsome comfortable and tough, but the bottom of the boot wear fast. Lasted a year of hard work! Just really expensive.
