ARIATWomen's Fatbaby II Western Boot

These bison leather booties arrived well packaged and brand new. This pair is a solid peace of craftsmanship. I felt the quality immediately while opening the box. They fit perfectly and were downright comfortable straight out of the box. I was betwixt and between about buying these and put in a good bit of research. In the end, I'm so glad I went ahead and pulled the trigger because these are such good quality and I can see they will last me years as long as I take care of them. I will plan to come back in a few months with updates on sustained comfortability, but for now, after a week or so, they booties are so easy on my feet especially because of the good cushioning on the soles. I like the low rise for my purposes working in the yard and prairie. The semi-wide ankle shafts are especially good for me because that helps keep my ankles from growing weak over time by relying on boot shaft support. Of course that means I have to use care when placing my foot down, but it's an okay trade-off for my usage purposes. If this pair maintains its comfortability over time I may look into Ariat's safety toed options for industrial work. Good quality workboots are hard to come by these days. Nice looking, good quality workbooks are even more rare. I love that I found these.My feet are narrow with regular arches and narrow ankles.

Wanted boots similar to what I had bc the fat baby are so comfortable. Ordered these and they fit perfect and feel like they are broke in without having to go through a break in period.

Comfortable

Love these boots! Actually, I live in the northeast and resemble a cowgirl about as much as disco music resembles country music....you can see the similarities, right? This is my second pair of Fatbaby Boots. The first pair were purchased on a whim "gently used" from a seller on that most popular auction website that Ends in BAY. At the time I was looking for a sturdy boot to trudge through the icy, sloppy, new England winter in, not looking specifically for a "cowgirl" boot, but the price was unbeatable and I was curious. Here it is 2yrs later and it can be said that these boots are unbeatable and are still handsome to boot! They have been worn 5 out of 7 days per week for 3 seasons each year (would have been 4 seasons if I was 40yrs younger!).Most of my other boots and shoes are an 8.5 or euro 39. The Fatbaby boots I purchased on the auction website were an 8 and I was a little skeptical about the fit because I normally wear a size 8.5 shoe and can even go to a size 9 in a boot with thick socks on my feet. I have average width feet, not wide or narrow; I have a high arch and instep as well as a hammertoe on my left foot. (TMI?). However, the size 8 was perfect! So, I purchased these new Fatbaby Cowgirl boots in an 8, mostly because they were $20 less than the size 8.5 which I likely would have bought if the prices were the same.Once again, the size 8 fits perfectly right from the start, even in a brand new boot! These fit like a shoe approved by the American Orthopedic Association but look as fashionable (Wild?) as the Cowgirls that I imagine they were intended for! I wear these boots with medium weight wool blend socks. There is plenty of room for all my toes and there is no pressure across the top of my high instep or at the front of the boot across the ankle. I can not feel any of the seams or stitching the way other reviewers have written that they can. The back of the heel sometimes moves but does not rub or bind. The footbed is not like walking on a cloud. It is firm but comfortable and very supportive. The innersole is removeable and I can fit the semirigid type orthotics inside very comfortably if I choose to, but find orthotics are not necessary because the boot is very supportive in and of itself. The nonskid sole is not lugged and is not as thick as my first pair of Fatbaby Boots (which show absolutely no wear on the tread) but it does seem to be more than adequate. The shaft is soft and supple, not thick and rigid, fabric lined inside and suedelike finish outside. The height is just right on my leg under wool, corduroy, or denim pants. (I'm 5'6" and weigh about 140 lbs, size 10) The decorative stitching is lovely, the workmanship is high quality. The top opening is very roomy on me but I do have thinner than average calves. (Like I said, I'm no cowgirl)Great fit, Great fashion, Great performance, great price! These may be my second pair of Fatbaby Boots but I'm sure they will not be my last. Go ahead....take a walk on the Cowgirl side!

The boots were very nice and a super value. I returned them because they were too wide and my heal slips up when walking. I wear a 7.5 medium so I guess Fat Baby boots are too big. So if you need extra room in a boot: wider than a M but not quite a W, and longer than a 7.5 but not quite an 8…this is the boot for you.

These are very comfy right out the box. I wear 8 1/2. The length is perfect but they are wide. Wide toe is good for me but they are also wide in the heel too. Otherwise great boot.

I bought these boots because I have 2 western themed events this year -- I've never owned boots before. I found them cute and I had never heard of the name brand before. I wore these boots on 2 full travel days of flights and walking through airports and they were absolutely comfortable. I wore these boots with a skirt and they are adorable. Since buying and posting pictures in them, I've had so many people tell me what a smart choice these were as they last forever (we'll see!) But they are quickly staying in my shoe rotation!

Boots that are cute and comfortable! I'm a teacher and have worn these all day at work (on my feet and lots of walking). I never had to break them in either. They were perfect from day one. I get lots of compliments on them too.

Les bottes ne me fesais pas bien j'ai pue les retourner sans problème.

I love these, very comfortable and beautiful. Do not hesitate to buy.

Bought these for my daughter , and I’ve personally purchased many many pairs of ariat fat baby boots for western riding and general day to day barn chores. I wear these boots everywhere and they hold up to the rigors of real farm life lol. Fit is true to sizing, and comfy as all heck! Terrific boot at a great price …always happy with mine and now so is my daughter !

It’s my 4th pair of Ariats, and the 3rd of Fatbabies. I had 2 other pairs that I wore on a daily basis, but decided to leave them behind when I moved from another country (I still regret it, they looked old but still wearable). I’m a solid 10 with a somewhat wide shoe and got them in 10. They rubbed a little bit on my ankle on the first day, and that was it. Easy to put on and off, thanks to the side loops. From my previous experience they age up beautifully, and the quality is superb - not a single loose thread. They look adorable and go with everything (I’m a cattle girl at heart, so maybe that’s why I think so). A friend gave me a hard time about them, saying that sneakers are more comfortable, but not to me - I’d rather do anything wearing them, even running, than wearing any other shoe.
