Ariat Men's Hybrid Rancher Western Boot

*UPDATE* 3 DAYS Thes boots are amazing and had to give another star. After the second day they were completely broken in and fit like a glove. At first i was apprehensive about the square toe and havinga loose fit. After they broke in and formed to my foot they are just the right tight and have just enough slip to fit perfect. The soles are always awesome with Ariat Duratread (The makers of Nascar race tires) which makes them durable. My soles always wear down and I have a problem with the steps on my tractor tearing up then soles of my boots. The steps have rough raised steel that is pretty jagged so you won’t slip, this always leaves chunks cut out of the heels and my soles are tore up at 6months and destroyed at 9 but I push it to 12. Don’t have to do that with Ariats. The color is great and the leather is excellent quality as well as the stitching. The wide carbon fiber shaft is great on the arch as well as the heat activated self forming insoles that make this boot an all around winner. Makes anything else feel inferior, you don’t know what your missing until you try its. The use of modern technology and materials (carbon fiber and duratread) mixed with the traditional western practical boot design style. I’ve always worn a 10.5 in boots but I’ve never owned a square toe so that might be why I feel like they are a little spacious in the toes. I love Ariat boots and use to work in a store selling boots and ariat were always my go to boot for customers who wanted something that was built to last and looked and felt good. I can tell I’m going to like these boots I’m just going to have to get used to them. I also still can’t believe I only paid $74.99 for them. That prices alone makes me happy.

These were my first pair of Ariat boots, I had always been more of a wolverine boots kinda guy. Best choice I ever made was going to Ariats, wont ever get anything other than them from now on and trying to get as many people as I can to at least try them to feel the comfort. Straight out of the box they looked better than I had expected, and was the most comfortable pair of boots I had ever put on for the first time. Break in period for me was about 2-3 days. Definitely wouldn't recommend the true advantage timber ones or any similar if you plan on doing a lot of walking in them without tucking in your pants legs because with them not being leather on the leg tube part there is a seam on either side where the material was sewn together and will rub the sides of your legs bad. Other than that I did notice that they make there boots longer than most and I got the extra wide ones and they were still a bit narrow for me. But just walking in them in general they are the most comfortable boots I've had, very soft sole, and once the leather stretched and fit around my foot I can where them for days at a time without being able to take them off because of my job and won't have the least bit of pain/discomfort from it. Although, with all that being said I still wouldn't have ordered anything else because of all the compliments I get on my boots. The next pair I get tho I will be going into an Ariat store and actually getting my feet measured for best possible fitment. You won't go wrong getting these so go ahead and hit the buy button as long as they have your size or manly be in their case a half size smaller.

Perfect

Very slim shaft could not get my feet in them. They are well paid bare in mind the are Ariat I'm not a huge fan i lean twores Tony Luna been wearing the for 60plus years. Before that it was tennis shoes couldn't afford boots. My dad was a ranch hand and a truck driver. Me just a kid and I grew up loving cattle horses and rodeo I loved riding bull hated saddle Bronc and bear back they tryed their best to kill you lol roping was not my thing i tryed bulldoging I was fair. Bull scared the cra. Out of me and I loved it was I great? nope just loved the ride. I'd do it now but my wife says I'm 70 not 17 lol. She way smarter than I am. Back to boots Ariat boot are ok and for you young riders with all that body armor go for it. But hey Cowboy up. Ride like we did. Lol just saying.

So cute, easy to put on and comfortable and the did not feel like a heavy booth

Love Ariat Boots, just had to order these to replace my old ones that lasted quite some time. Very comfortable to wear all day .

I already have a pair of relatively new Ariat Quickdraw boots (model 10006714), and they fit perfect, so I felt confident ordering this pair in the exact same size, and while the length is exactly the same, they're actually slightly narrower than the Quickdraws, so breaking them in is taking a little longer and brings some pain I didn't experience with my other pair, but they are breaking in nicely and it seems they will fit even better than my Quickdraws in another couple weeks. I love the color and the texture of the distressed leather. They really are a good "hybrid" of work boot and western boot, and I have no reservation about getting them knicked or scuffed-- It only seems to make this kind of leather look better (even if the distressed leather allows you to just rub out most minor scuffs, anyway). I'm looking forward to having these for a long time and highly recommend them to anyone in the market.

Awesome boots

Comfortable, looks great, fits great. Suggest you order 1/2 size less than for runners.

Toller Stiefel und kam schneller als angegeben. Tragekomfort ist super und macht 'nen schönen Fuß. Die Sohle hat perfekten Grip auch bei losem Untergrund. Nichts zu bemängeln!

I ordered these because I wanted a pair of lowish boots that were easy to get in and out of, that weren't afraid of the kind of heavy clay/mud we have around here and that I could tuck my pants into while walking the dog in said soil. The fact they're oiled leather was an important part of my decision, as was the profile of the supposedly indestructable soles. The good news is that they fit almost perfectly in 13D (US), despite the fact that I'm more of a 14A (US) person, and thus give good side support. There could be a little bit more space for my pinky toe despite the wide-square toe, and they taper down towards the nose a bit too much. We'll see what that does to the inner lining; it'll probably end up shredding as all cloth lining always does for me; the lack of space probably doesn't help with breathability either. A few days into wearing them (indoors too, for breaking in) I already had white stains on them from perspiration (and this isn't kind on the leather!). I never had this with my 2 pairs of all-leather Noconas, nor with my textile-lined Crispi Swat rangers. Another thing that must be due to the textile lining and the slightly tight fit: I keep having to pull up my socks (up and out from around my toes...). Never had that too in my Noconas. I do find they take a while to break in: the leather is thick and unco-operative at first so there's some discomfort from it not bending in the most ideal places, including the shaft and the reinforcements in the toe box and around the heel (presses into my foot just below the anklebone); I suspect those reinforcements are made of plastic and not leather. Overall those are all things I was more or less prepared for, so overall I'm quite happy. Cleaning the clay out of the soles is a b***h, but that too I was prepared for, as for the fact the soles tend to slip on our pebblestone roads when wet ;) What I'm much less happy about is the fact that the rims of my heels are already showing significant wear after less than a week (!!) of walking the dog. See the picture. We don't have sharp rocks here, only soft limestone and a some gravel. I haven't been walking on metal grating either. Maybe I got a pair of Durashred soles instead of Duratread...? + good fit and support + good quality leather, well oiled, (almost) identical for the boot and the shaft + leather-lined shaft 0 tapered nose styling means less place for the toes 0 wide-square nose in size US 12 and up means the boot catches onto panelling when I work the clutch in my car - some QC issues, notably in the sewing of the outer sole which isn't routed perfectly through the groove it should follow and will thus wear through sooner rather than later -- soles not as durable as claimed: the heels are already shredding after less than a week of what should be the kind of use these are made for.
