[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've worn Ariat for the most part of 15 years. Mostly worn WorkHogs but I've bought a few Sierra pairs also. I've bought the same size since I started wearing them all that time ago. Never had issues with sizing. Unless it's steel toe or waterproof, the boots always fit without sizing up. All boots have been generally easy to break in too. This pair of boots is about 1/2 size small and tight from instep through the vamp. I've worn it for about 2 weeks for 12/day. The right has just about broken in but the left is still tight near the vamp. It's so tight that I get some pain from compression. I'm sure it'll break in eventually but this pair has been the most uncomfortable Ariat boots I've worn since I've started wearing them. I was so confident on Ariat fitting nicely that I put bee's wax on them before wearing them. I'm not sure if I just got a faulty pair thus the 3 star instead of 2. If I buy them again I will probably size up or get wide fit.

I purchased these boots for ranch work. I’ve put them to the test over several months and they still look great. They are good-fitting, comfortable boots. Will buy again.

bought them lightly used and worked the heck out of them for about 4 years before they gave in, very good quality and very comfortable.

Excellent quality and comfortable for every day. Exactly what I was looking for in a pair of work boots.
