[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time wearing felt like I have had them for years

I have always worn Fatbabys, but I've had my eye on these for about a year. I saved up for them because I was looking for something durable for work on the ranch, but something more fitted and lighter that wouldn't kill my feet after working in them all day. They are light and very comfy. However, when it comes to durability, the foam that makes it light unfortunately doesn't stand up to some of the aspects of ranch life. I've had them about a month now, and the bottoms are looking really torn up from working on gravel, clearing brush and moving rocks. Working near any kind of heat is a no-no with these as the foam gives out even from working on hot pavement. Although I know it would add a little bit of weight to them, I think these need just a thin layer of protection on the bottom. Adding a little more durability would make these the ideal ranch work boots!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Probably not the common scenario for Ariat shoppers, but I work in events and these are my GO TO boots. Bought them and went straight into working 16 hour days at a country festival and had zero foot pain or blisters. Have since worn them for multiple multi-day festivals as well as dirty work in the yard day to day. Warm in cold weather, keeps sand/dirt out, and just comfy. I literally love them.

So comfy and water proof too
