Worn At Work Everyday For The Past 6 Months And LOVE THEM!!
People that will like and appreciate these safety shoes are women who are used to wearing safety shoes, who want a dressy pair that is fully-functional within an industrial environment. I have worn Red Wing steel toe and composite boots, and I am used to the stiffness that comes with a well-made safety boot. That being said, when I bought these, I saw people who left reviews on Ariat and other websites, saying that these shoes are not comfortable. I love my Ariat Safety clogs, and I have been wearing them every day for the past 6 months. There is no "breaking in" these shoes--they retain their shape and structure, and are as comfortable as a safety shoe can be, without compromising those elements of the shoe that make them worthwhile, like their water-resistant capability. I have walked through so many puddles in these shoes with the Florida rains we get, and I have never, not once, soaked my socks! I wasn't working in deep water--but the water resistance for casual changes in weather? These shoes are excellent. I work in a manufacturing facility where I can encounter oil residuals, and the non-slip capability of these shoes have saved me from potential slip and falls on more than one occasion, when I have seen others without them lose traction from time to time. The electrical resistance is also an added benefit to these. I would say these shoes will fit like your typical construction boot without the added weight of a steel toe, but have the elegance of a professional dress shoe and benefits of being a safety shoe. If you hate, or aren't used to how construction boots fit--then you might not like the fit of these shoes. Like I said, they hold their structure-- which is a good thing for a safety shoe; there is no "breaking" these in. As someone used to the fit of a construction boot, I find them to be very comfortable, and wear them every day. It is now Sunday, and I am even wearing them out today, because they are so comfy! (Lots of walking in the mall planned for today...😊) So if you sound like someone like me, who will appreciate these--definitely go for it and buy them!😁👍

Superb on my sore ankles, incredible balance
I wear slip-on steel toe shoes for everyday care of my horses & dogs, so I can run out the door in a hurry if necessary. The extra weight at the toe started making my ankles sore as I get older. I thought maybe comfortable shoes with a composite toe would work better and be lighter, be easier on my ankles, and I like Ariat very much for fit and comfort.When these shoes arrived, I thought I would be disappointed; holding the shoes, the toes still had substantial weight. However, to my surprise and delight, these shoes are balanced shockingly well! As I walk, I cannot feel the extra weight in the toe. I didn't know that was possible. I thought the raised heel would make the toe feel heavier, even. It's simply the perfect design. These shoes are the best, most easy to walk in slip-on shoes I have ever had. Fantastic!I typically wear a 9.5 or 10 in Ariats. These are size 10, and it's just right.My sister tried them, and even with the wrong size, she also felt the superb balance. We've ordered her a pair of size 8s.

Not the same shoes I loved
These are definitely different from a pair I recently retired after 5 years of use. I literally lived in those shoes because they were so comfortable! These do not have any arch support and my feet are achy after an 8 hour shift on my feet. I’ll most probably buy some inserts. These have steel-toe to protect the toes so that’s a plus and hence the 3 star rating. I’ll keep the shoes but will not be ordering them in the future. I don’t recommend them if you need arch support.

not happy
they rub uncomfortably where the toe moves into the rest of the shoe. They are also fairly heavy and too wide. If I hadn't discarded the box when they arrived, I'd return them

High quality
Great shoe and doesn’t look like I’m wearing clown shoes like most composite shoes

Fit to size!
I wore these clogs nearly right out of the box to a facility that required steel toe. I had them on three days in a row with 100% comfort. So comfy in fact, I may buy a pair without the steel toe! Im a 7.5-8 depending on shoe. I had originally received an 8W, a little too big, exchanged for a 7.5 and I was good to roll!Overall impressed

Cheap knock off
I have had 4 pairs of Ariat work clogs over the last 12 years. These are NOT Ariats. They are enormously wide, the footbed is different, the whole build and materials are different, and they are too long (in the size I have always worn). Beware. Fraudulent.
