I went back to work working road construction and on my new job it required me to have steel toe boots. Years ago I worked for a company that required steel-toed boots and I absolutely hated them. I have metal pins in my feet and they were always so uncomfortable and cold in the winter. I purchased these areas and expected them to be just as uncomfortable and miserable as the ones I had years ago. From the time that I put them on and worked a half a day in them I could not believe that my feet did not hurt at all.They were comfortable, my feet were dry and my feet with the metal pins in them do not hurt. I absolutely love my boots and I would totally recommend them to anyone that is on their feet for hours at a time and in almost any weather conditions. I sometimes wear them when I'm not even at work, they have good ankle strength.

I have bought Ariat’s for years and they generally last about a year. These were comfortable straight away which is why I buy them I usually wear Telluride but because of these being the only steel toecap they do now I bought these. I have a Shire cross with no spacial awareness and like the idea of keeping my toes. Over the year the boot always ends up stinking of horse wee but these are the first boots I’ve had that have not only soaked up the smell much quicker but the smell goes through to my feet which has never happened before. I only bought them on 14 August and I have also had my feet starting to hurt so I don’t think the insoles are as good either.

I’ve had these boots for over three years. They’re barely getting a blowout. lol always trying to find a good sell, but this time had to pay full price not too bad. I walk a lot working in a Warehouse / forklift never had a issue and love that their water resistant 285lbs 5’8 The only thing I have to do is change it and sold every six months due to wear and tear.

Both me and my husband own these brilliant boots. They are worn pretty much every day - heavy duty gardening tasks, felling trees, building drystone walls and joinery work. We’ve had them well over 3 years and are only just ready for replacing. They are so comfy, the internal foam soles have moulded to our feet nicely and still have plenty of bounce in them. To keep the leather waterproof and supple we use Hydro-bloc cream. I have been wearing safety boots for over 40 years with my job and I wish these were available back then. Being female, I had to buy men’s boots back then which were too wide/heavy/uncomfortable. Totally non slip on wet grass bankings even when the soles have got worn down. These boots are without doubt THE BEST I have ever worn. Thank you Ariat, please don’t change or cheapen them!!
