ARIATMen's Hybrid Rancher Waterproof Western Boot

This is my second pair of Ariat boots. I purchased these because my wife wanted to do photos and I wanted a good pair of brown boots that I could just slip on that goes well with jeans. I bought these about 90 days ago and have worn them everyday since purchasing. These boots are great. I currently live in the Netherlands and November through January the coldest tempatures average in the 30s and my feet are very warm to hot. I don't recommend wearing these in warmer climates because these boots have zero ventilation due to the water proofing. That being said they are water proof and will stay water proof as long as you take care of them. If the water proofing fails it will be at the seam where the sole is stiched. Condition with some mink oil ( they will darken slightly) and these boots will remain water proof. Comfort is outstanding. I wear combat boots for a living and I wish these were authorized in uniform. I just took a week vacation to Prague and in very urban travel, my feet were the most comfortable part of the trip. Between walking throughout the airports to catching train and bus after bus my feet were very comfortable. A few weeks ago I went to a couple Christmas markets in Cologne, Germany during a very wet rain storm and by the end of the night my feet were still dry and warm. These are great for the money and extremely comfortable. Again if you live somewhere warm and it's going to be dry outside I would consider something with more ventilation but if you're in a cooler/ colder area and want warm feet these are great boots. Sizing was good. I mostly wear size 11 shoes depending on the make and bought 10.5 in these and they fit great. Traction is good but the tread pattern is not that deep so keep that in mind if you're hunting or it's raining and you're out in the field. Overall these are really great boots.

I initially ordered my true size but my heel slid and the boots didn't hug my feet the way are supposed to. Ordered 1/2 size smaller and they fit perfectly. Nice snug fit all around without being overwhelming. They will take some time to break in but they are comfortable enough to easily wear for a few hours at a time.I break in with Merino Wool socks and find the boots much easier to put on and take off. Don't use tube socks unless you want the boots stuck on good.All in all, these boots are very well made, have no hot spots, look very nice and are rather comfortable during break-in. I think I will still be wearing these in 10 years.Cheers

Really comfortable easy on and off. Seemingly durable and not all logoed up.

I wanted boots that were tough enough for work and clean up nice for a meeting. These are definitely them. I've had them for a few months now. They are very comfortable and waterproof. Had a couple of storm drains plug up on my on call night. I went into the water to clear the drain, about a inch below the top of the boot, and they never leaked. I would definitely recommend these.

I got these today and yes they fit good, I ordered a 9D since I had previously ordered a 8 1/2 E and they ran small on me but these 9D fit right, the only draw back is the color, I mean I like the color however I really wanted a lighter color like the one in the advertisement, however I am keeping them regardless, they do weight a tad more than regular boots though. Lets see how long it takes me to break them in now.

Beautiful boot and really fit nicely if you size it properly. Im a bigger dude and it definitely took some getting used too but overall it’s a good durable product. Had to get thicker insoles because of my weight but that’s really the only downside if you can call it that. Would recommend

These boots are the best investment that i spent on boots, it feels like your walking on cloud nine. They are water proof, it fits half size smaller, and if your wide foot should order EE for wide. Overall a great brand and investment.

Super comfortable on the first time wearing them and I’m sure they get even more comfortable as i break them in. Seem like nice quality too

Comfortable

Bastante cómodas y talla a la perfección

They are a wide fit but not too tight . Make sure you wear good quality socks. Great boots. Comfortable…. As they should be at that price.

Great quality, fast shipping!

Me gustaron mucho las botas, estan muy comodas.
