Ive purchased 2 pairs of these boots. They are not built very solid unfortunately. The sole is only glued on and comes apart very easily under medium duty work. The first pair came apart in the field completely and fell off and had to be glued together using industrial adhesive to get home. And when it came apart the inner fabric trapped my foot in the boot like a Chinese finger trap! Second pair barely made 3 months before the sole started to detach and i glued it just to be safe. Im not even a full year in And the second pair stretched out in the heels pretty massively. Almost a full size id say. I have to wear insulated socks to get them to fit right. Also on the second pair the throat is noticeably larger. So much so you can see it through a standard pair of pants and when moving around the legs of my pants ride up the upper so quality control is non existent. Ill give credit where credit is due. They are very comfortable. I wear them day In and day out. Walk 123 miles in a couple weeks in them and they kept me comfortable and dry. Thats why I opted to purchase a second pair. Purely based on the all day comfort for a big trip. But sadly for the price they dont live up to the ariat name and come apart like a cheap boot.

I didn't need steel or carbon toe or other specific industrial protection. These are super comfortable and waterproof for regular work around my property. Highly recommend!
