ARIATMen's Sport Square Toe Western Boot

I got these boots 3 months ago and they are awesome. I go through boots really fast but they’re holding up good, look good, feel good, and break in good. I broke them in a couple days since I’m on my feet all day and they are super comfortable I’ve never had sore feet after doing about 9 miles a day on average. They fit exactly how I expected and just like my other boots. And the grip is awesome even in rain and snow, and the heel is perfect height, for us men a couple extra inches never hurts. So I would highly recommend these boots for work just to wear or even dressing up. They’re my favorite pair I have

It's almost as if the spot on the rear part of the shaft where it meets the counter on the right boot is an 1/8" or so tighter than the left boot, just enough to make it VERY difficult to get the boot on or off. So difficult I thought about returning the boots. I dont think it would have detracted from the overall look of the boot if the design allowed for maybe a little bit more room. Or maybe it's a quality control issue . . . Hopefully the leather will stretch a bit before long, but I feel a boot should fit well from the start, including going on and off without unreasonable effort. Aside from that, once i get them on the fit is perfect. A little bit of room in the heel, a little bit of room at the toe, snug but not tight on the sides, couldn't ask for more for this aspect. Style is nice, overall look is nice, quality seems good . . . just that unreasonable constriction on the right boot getting it on or off requires a one star deduction.FOLLOW UP: a month later, the right boot is now just a little easier to get on and off, but I wouldn't call it "easy." It won't break the hard plastic boot jack, as it threatened to do at first. Can't pull it on with medium thick socks, have to use the pull holes to keep the shaft straight while using body weight to push my foot in. It's the boot, not my foot, as it's not an issue with any other boot, including my Ariat Relentless Prime boots. All that being said, I'd bump my rating up .75 star, a full star if I didn't have to pack a boot jack when I travel, these boots are quite nice. BTW Amazon apparently assigned the wrong size to this review, the boots are 11M, aka 11D.

This is my second pair of Ariat boots and my first pair of cowboy boots from this company. These are a traditional style of cowboy boot with a 2" riding heel. Despite the riding heel, I don't find these at all uncomfortable to walk in although I wouldn't want to take them for a very long walk. The fit is good, but for a first pair of boots I would want to get fitted in a store (which is what I did, with my initial pair of Ariat work boots). The sole is sturdy and stiff, which is what you'd expect from this style of boot. The uppers are well-constructed and comfortable, but fairly stiff (again, that's what you'd expect with this style of boot). You will want over the calf boot socks with these.

i got these in 2015 and loved the style...however have not worn them because they were simply too large...which i must explain.they fit well, but ariat puts a big giant insole in all their boots that don't just go under your foot, but up the side of the shoe from the midfoot back to the heel. his is all nice and plush, but not only is it overkill, especially with rubber heels, but it forces ariat to make their boots a size larger to accommodate this huge oversized inner sole.if you look at the sizing data on ariats with inner soles, you'll find most people say they are either 'somewhat large' or 'too large'. i since have found that on western boots from ariat, and any maker that uses large insoles, you can get a size that really fits you without that oversized insole, and either cut the edges of the insole down (especially the part that goes vertically up the side of your foot for about an eighth or quarter inch). this will allow you to get a more proper size that is not all based on a huge inner sole more apt for space boots. IF cutting the manufacturer's inner sole doesn't make the boot fit without being tight at your correct size, i simply get a pair of super thin dr. scholl's gel inner soles...they usually have a higher heel than the rest of the inner sole, but this actually moves your foot up and back, giving even more room at the front.while i tried that with this boot (replacing the inner sole) the boot fit okay at 10.5 (i normally take a 10.5) but was still a bit large, and so long it looked a bit like i was wearing flippers.so i have repurchased this boot in size 10...which is the only Western boot i need to go down a half size to wear. i have some old ariats from 10 years ago, before they began with these space boot inner soles that are really unnecessary, and they're almost a full size smaller than the new ariats, same style, which tells you something...basically confirming what i'm saying here.as we all know, Western boots are the one shoe that is rather highly consistent across brands sizewise. most 10.5s will be just that, 10.5s. the one exception i can think of is nocona, which are a small bit tighter/smaller than all other brands, so i always get an 11 in those and they fit/measure just like my other 10.5s.ariats are the only brand i know that you need to go down AT LEAST a half size to match normal Western boot sizing...and this is for the insoles.other than this long research paper on ariat innersoles and sizing...the boot is great. i wasn't going to spend another $150 or whatever to try and return these after wearing them around figuring sizing out, so i just have them in the closet on top of a pile of other cowboy boots that didn't work out. HOWever, these are such great boots that now, 3 years later, i'm getting around to buying these again...here on amazon, using a store credit... very much looking forward to receiving them.i love the style, the thick comfortable rubber welt sole and high stacked heel, and thick leather. they are great...and now you know how to size them properly and deal with the absolutely unneeded space boot oversize innersole. IF you are someone who needs extra cushioning for some physical reason, do get the boot without downsizing and keep the full innersole in their as is...but most of us don't buy Western boots to look like we're wearing swim flippers.

I hope Ariat never stops making boots like these. The toe and heel of these boots make these look very traditional in the best of ways. Also, the leather is truly a “powder” light, yet rugged, brown, which goes well with just about any shade of denim. I have a narrow foot, so I had to order a size down (THANK GOD THEY HAD THEM IN B WIDTH), but once I found my size sweet spot I found these boots to fit like a glove.

They fit and feel great. Getting them off though is a pain in the donkey! I get a nice squeak too with every step on hard surfaces, which is about everywhere I walk. It's super annoying and embarrassing. Putting them on is no problem and I wear them 11-12hrs a day 4 or 5 days a week. They look great and feel great.The width is fine for me, I have a very wide foot EEE and my foot has room and my toes don't rub in the toe box. I think the size I got could have been a half size down or more but might mess up the fit.If the soles didn't squeak with every step and I didn't have to rip my foot off Evey night getting them off they'd be the perfect boot.

Todo bien

Purchased and put them on when they arrived Perfect fit! Beautiful boot and leather work!

Pidan media talla menos ( yo soy 10.5 EE en bota, tuve que pedir 10 EE porque la bota queda muy larga ) fuera de eso, son excelentes botas, muy cómodas y se ven muy bien

Very good boots

these are a little difficult to get on, I suggest a long metal shoe horn and nylon sock to start...once they are broken in...you are good to go.
