ARIATWomen's Hiking Boot

I have small but wide feet. I ordered a 6.5 when I normally wear between a 5 and 6 because there was not a wide option. So... fit on foot isn't terrible. A little tight on the right foot. The worse part is trying to get my heels into the boots. I can see the potential of the heel area becoming worn and destroyed relatively quick. I don't blame the boots, I blame my feet. Comfort after wearing them a short time seem fine. I can see why some reviews raved on the comfort, if you had normal people feet. If you have trouble with sizes and fits in different brands, expect it with these as well. Otherwise they look great, could be very comfy boots for the right feet, and the quality seems great. I did forget to add that the top of the boots are very loose, so there is not ankle support if you are looking for that. So, we will see if I can break these in or if they will break me. My chances are slim! Have a great day!

I volunteer at an equine stable working the barn team and these are the best boots ever. They were a little tight getting them on the first few times but loosened up. They hav excellent arch support and are so comfortable. I wear them for many hours at at a time.I ordered my regular size 9 in women’s and I have enough room to fit my wool Sockwells into them for warmth.They are completely liquid proof, remember I muck stalls, and you can wash them off. My feet never get wet and the wet has not changed the color either.I love these boots and would highly recommend. Yay Ariat!!!

🏆 The best general ranching boot I've ever found. 🏆This is also IMO, the best boot Ariat makes since I've not had so much luck with their other lines. But WOW! This boot! 😍Pros:*Comfortable and cute versatile walking boots!*Very high quality, confidence inspiring work boot with good traction*Love the simple, unfussy cowboy style - will purchase several for all the family on our ranch*Identical male/female boots available*No blisters or hot spots*Fair price at $114 for light brown. I paid about $150 for the dark brown ones but they've since fallen to about $134.Cons:*A little wide on the calf, but I don't notice it "flapping" like other reviewers and I'm happy I can tuck pant legs inside with ease.*Runs a tad snug, especially at the ankles when you pull them on.* The V-shape is very deep meaning they allow snow to fall in causing wet feet.Waterproofing:I've put a good year of rainy, muddy dog walking on these boots and never had wet feet. However, I did further waterproof one of my light brown pairs with Sno Seal (which darkened the leather as pictured).Sizing:I'm usually a size 7B in shoes but I've learned to buy 7.5 in boots. I tried the 7 and 7.5 in these boots and the 7 was too tight and causing hotspots on one heel. My feet slip fairly easily into the 7.5, with a bit of resistance at the narrow ankle. Once on, there's a little movement around the heel as I walk but nothing dramatic. I can feel the sides of my toes against the boot but I have borderline wide feet. You can see from the photos that they gape a bit around the calf but the 7s also gaped so I think that's just the style. I love this extra calf space as I can tuck my jeans into the boots with no resistance. I don't think they'd look good with pant legs untucked and worn over the top. Happy with my 7.5s, but after 5 months I've started to think I could even have gone up another half size to an 8 since they feel a bit tight if I wear thicker socks. *Update: on my third and fourth purchases, I did size up to an 8 for a bit more wriggle space and I was happier with the fit.Very comfortable out of the box. Went on a long hike straight away with no blisters. They have never let me down on comfort 👌.'Distressed' Brown vs Dark Brown?Ariat make the same boot in a "dark brown" that is sometimes under a separate listing. When the dark brown ones finally became available with free returns, I bought those too. I won't be returning them! Wow. Very much preferred them over the light or 'distressed' ones. Obviously they are a darker, richer color, not distressed, and without embroidery on the boot upper. I added pictures of them side by side (all boots in my pics are the light 'distressed' brown unless labeled dark). They were more expensive at around $150 (vs $114 when I bought the light ones), but they were worth it. 😍 No doubt that price will come down at some point as these boots seem to fluctuate within about $50 several times a year. I have also dressed these boots up with Mukluks wraps when I fancy a change up and received compliments (the Mukluks boots themselves are very poor quality and I don't trust them at all).Buy them! You'll always want to be able to reach for a pair of these!

Very comfy and sturdy, a good looking, kinda sexy work boot I can wear all day around the yard or horses. Very pleased.

This boots are very comfortable and very well made of quality materials.. I own several pairs of Ariat boots but his ones are the most comfortable ones I ever purchased. They are very cushioning and super comfortable besides I love the style and the thick leather. I will wear them with jeans, skirts, dresses and leggings. They are true to size so order your regular size.

I really like these boots. Cushy bottom insole.I wore 1st day and did not have any soreness as with others upon break-in. Walked over 10,000 steps on concrete floor.The dark brown 2 tone leather is attractive.Easy on and easy off.Bottom of boot is well tractioned. I will purchase again.

Nice looking boot, wish i could have fit my foot into it. Returned

Nice boots. Warm on cold surfaces when worn with proper socks. Not to warm in snow that covers toes (or deeper!). Conducts cold from leather but good under foot sole insulation. I bought them as a waterproof slip on that looked good. Pretty happy in that regard. Will see how they hold up.If Ariat made this boot with insulation - I would buy it.

Me gusta el calzado de Ariat para equitación porque son de buena calidad, duraderos y comodos.

Ich habe relativ breite Füße, diese Boots passen ❤️ Meine Suche hat endlich ein Ende. Allerdings bin ich noch nicht sicher, ob das nun eher Stiefwl für den Sommer oder die Übergangszeit sind. Bei derzeit 8 Grad sind sie mollig warm...iich wollte sie allerdinga für die warmw Jahreszeit haben 🤔Wasserdicht sind sie jedenfalls und bequem dazu. Eigentlich bin ich ganz verliebt 😍

Love that they are waterproof but only the base They fit in the tight side. A comfortable sole..Will see how they work in.

I have a wide foot with medium high instep plus a bunion forming. The boots broke in fairly quickly and am very pleased to not have pain. They are not the warmest in super cold weather but I expected that but perfect for all other seasons. I lather the boot with mineral oil/bees wax past every 2 months and that works great wearing them 2 years now.

very nice but they fit a half size too large, hopefully a heavy sock will help
