ARIATMen's Heritage R Toe Western Boot

I've worn Tony Lama's for 50 years, so I hesitated to order these until the price offered on Amazon, justified my trying them out.Right out of the box I put them on and walked several miles in them. The weather has been rather wet for a month or more, and I was concerned that the leathers soles on my Lama's would expedite the deteriorization and force me to have them half soled later in the year. At first I thought these were a little larger than I had planned on, although they were very comfortable brand new. The rubber (?) soles and heals somehow made them feel very similar to the slip on walking shoes I've work in the past. My immediate concern about size quickly disappeared. They are the perfect size and exactly what I wanted. 10 1/2 EE and now that they are a week old and I wear them constantly during the day, I've found them to be as comfortable as my walking shoes.As I've done in the past, I always put rubber taps (ordered from Amazon) on the heels to guard against my heals getting worn down and forcing me to the expense of rehealing.Bottom line; these are great boots, their comfortable, they will hold up for what will be an extended time without resoling and rehealing, and I'll very likely be ordering another pair in a few months. They are clean looking boots and I'm sure will be easy to polish and visually give me that western look I strive for. FYI, I've had ingrown toenails for 30 or 40 years and the Lamas did put pressure on them, which is not apparent with the Ariat. I'm hooked!Follow up - I bought a 2nd pair as a backup. They were tighter and didn't appear to be EE WIDE, but I put them on the shelf expecting that break in would be required. I should have had them replaced them, because when I decided to break them i, I couldn't get them on. Bought a Bloodhound cowboy boot stretcher and had to put 3 pair of wet thick socks in the stretchers and after 3 days each boot got them on with help of a 13" boot horn, without socks. So I'm going to slowly stretch them to my feet with socks on, but they feel good barefooted. Had I been wise, I would have sent them back and replaced them immediately. But once they are broken in, they wI'll serve my needs for the future I'm sure. I believe I experienced a QC problem, so if they don't fit, replace them ASAP.Following up, broke them in after a.little stretching as mentioned above. They are wonderful, just like the first pair I literally have wore every day for years, and will continue to, until they finally fall apart.I would still recommend quickly exchaning them and reordering another pair, even in the same siz, if they don't feel good out of the box. The EE width is a blessing to put on my feet. And using rubber taps on the heals will elite the need for heel replacement. Check them out on Amazon also. ENJOY!

I originally got the standard size, but ended up changing to wide & love them! The leather quality is great. These boots will last!

Not my first pair of Ariats but the fit and feel are wonderful right out of the box. Comfortable as house slippers and very supportive. Great price and experience. Ariat has yet to disappoint.

Received quickly once out of the box I really didn’t want to put they on what a great looking boot seemed to nice to beat them up the leather seems very sturdy well made boots putting them on the first time was tricky with thick boot socks need a little thinner boot socks but once on with the thicker socks they wear nicely and makes room for the sock over all performance, stability and leather are very good I haven’t tried them on or in water worth the money I’d buy another pair down the road

I’m so glad I bought these. Amazing quality and comfort.

Great fit right out of the box arrived sooner than expected date will definitely buy again when needed

Exactly what my BF needed.

Worst pair of boots I've ever put on. 73 y.o. and have been wearing boots since i was very young Inconsistent construction. The vamp over the instep is high and loose on the right boot, but extremely tight on the left boot. Soles are hard plastic and barely flexible. Shafts were different diameters, loose on one boot, tight on the other. Shaft on both boots was very stiff thick leather. Overall, leather was very stiff Impossible to walk heel to toe. I ordered, or thought i ordered, round toe, but toes were pointed and toe boxes on both boots were very crowded and tight. On the other hand, heels on both boots were overly loose. Welt appeared to be made of soft cotton thread. I doubt the boots would last a whole year. First time i ever ordered boots online, but saw the try before you buy and felt that it was safe. In the future i will do what i have done for the past 7 decades and will buy from a store where i can try them on first.

Cómodas para el día a día, la talla 8 1/2 EE me quedó bien, siendo que uso 9; tallas americanas.

I bought these boots for Christmas for my son. I was skeptical about ordering them without seeing them first. But I ordered anyway. I'm so incredibly happy that I did. The quality is beautiful and the fit is even better. They are gorgeous. My son is extatic about them. So happy I ordered them

Ok so these shoes are exactly as described, they look and feel premium. At first, I was unsure if they would look excessively shiny and cheap but no this is not the case. In terms of getting your fit correct, I recommend sizing them up against your favorite pair of leather dress shoes. You can't go wrong.In the UK I wear a size 9 men's and have a standard width size, so I ordered US 10D! The seller was speedy and the item arrived in excellent condition.

Wunderschöne Stiefel. Ist schon mein zweites Paar von Ariat. Sie sind sehr bequem und sehen klasse aus. Ich kann sie nur empfehlen und würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen. 👍👍👍

Excellent quality more than what I expected. Quick delivery.
