I don’t know what Ariat has done to these boots. I’ve been through 3 pairs in the past seven years and they’ve always been awesome and super comfortable. However, I just received a new pair, supposedly the exact same boot, but I can’t even get my feet into them! I’m ticked!

I purchased these for my husband. He's worn these same work boots for 5 years, always repurchase, always love them. Stylish, look good, easy to use and pull on, and comfortable. They're not waterproof but I would say water resistant. The fit is on point, and the quality is exceptional. They last a long time, and function well as work boots.

Excellent boots. Wore them to work and casually. Very comfy. Decent grip even in icy weather. They develop an oiled patina around the creased parts but look great. This is what a good boot should be - hard to find these days.

I order these boots for my Husband. He has had many pair. These are his work boots. They hold up over time and they are comfortable. When they first come in , they are a bit tight until they have time to stretch a bit. They are waterproof. They are very nice looking and stylish.

Je les porte pour travailler quotidiennement. À noter que ces bottes ne sont pas équipés d'une protection pour les orteils et dans mon cas j'ai dû prendre une pointure plus grande afin qu'elle ne soit pas trop serré avec des bons bas

I am SO happy with my new ARIAT groundbreaker cowboy boot styled work boot / shoes!i pulled em on, and in about 15 seconds i became a diehard fan of this company. so, i am not actually using these boots for ANY type of work. these are going to be dress up shoes for me. i never wear actual shoes. but i love WORK style boots. there are lots of companys that produce great boots and shoes, you should know that this company is amongst the best for a reason. it's definitely not hype. i was a little surprised at the overal height. for some reason i figured they would be higher. however, i am not an expert on western style boots so.... actually...this is my 1st pair of western styled boots in over 20 years. i am lovin' the idea of no laces to tie up! you should know these boots are NOT steel toe or composite toe. just very comfortable. i usally wear sized 8 shoes / sneakers... i have wider type feet so i lucked out when i saw size 7.5 wides available. fit so well. geeze...i could talk about how great these boots are all day long! ill spare you that however... ARIAT makes super high quality boots and thats really not a secret. i would advise you to look at photos before purchasing, outstanding! im already looking forward to my next pair! these boots are a little bit country...a little bit rock & roll! THANK YOU ARIAT! Ryan from NY

Love these boots. They are really robust, and so far, their water resistance has been great. I use them on long-distance trips on my motorcycle, and they hold up really well. They are not lined, but I had no issue in moderately cold temperatures. They are wide enough at the top to accommodate big calves, but a bit tight at ankle level when your ankles are swollen. The soles are thick, and they don't slip on road oil. the construction feels sturdy. They also look good with a pair of jeans. Overall, excellent value for the money, I hope they'll last for years.

El color no era como el foto que elige. Eso es el segundo par que pedi, pero solamente porque vienen diferentes las medidas. Soy 8.5 Americano o 7.5mx. Pedi la 7.5mx y me llego un 9.5Americano. No se si fue una falla de las medidas o una falla mía. Lo regrese y pedi una talla completo mas chico. Todavía me quedan un poco grandes, pero creo que mas chico y mi pie no le entra.

I've never owned a pair of cowboy boots before. My Dad had a really old pair that were very stiff, more like dress shoes almost and trying those on soured me to the idea of ever wearing any figuring they would all be very uncomfortable. However years later I got the itch to get myself a pair. I liked the idea they are so easy to take on and off, no tying, just jam it on and go. I was at a local chain store that sells boots and browsed the brands just to get an idea of which ones seemed the best quality. Ariat appear to be at the top of the quality list. That store didn't have exactly what I want so I searched online. I don't live in a dusty, dry dirt, desert type environment like I imagine most cowboy boots are designed for. Many seemed to have almost smooth bottoms with just a few grooves. I wanted something that had like a real boot bottom on them for the New Hampshire mud. I found very few boots that fit this profile but these Ariat Groundbreakers were exactly what I was looking for. I like that they had some kind of design stitched into them but nothing really gaudy. The bottom is thick leather like a baseball mit, the top softer like a leather jacket. The top part is nice and flexible so they don't feel restrictive like a tall pair of lace up boots does. It almost just feels like wearing a regular shoe. The insoles are very comfortable. If I wear them for a very long time they may rub a spot on my foot but I suppose some break in period is expected. They rubbed the top of my foot at first but after about a day that stopped. The bottom tread is very good and I have no traction issues. These are great in mud and muck. They are not waterproof but if you walk through deep water maybe up to just a few inches below the top of the boot your feet will stay dry. I wouldn't recommend standing in that water for a prolonged period of time as it might then seep in. The top part of the boot will start to absorb the water. But they aren't advertised as being waterproof so honestly it's better than I expected. After you wear these for a few weeks they start to break in nicely. I now wear them around all the time, in the woods, or out and about. They are great for doing work around the yard. The price for these boots was also very good, I paid barely over $100. Overall a great boot I would purchase again if I had to. They fit as expected, not too large or too small. They top of the boots are kind of large in diameter so you may need to tuck most jeans into them. Maybe if you had boot cut ones you could pull them over but I haven't tried that.
