Perfect work boot
One of the most troubling things concerning footwear is not just finding a pair that fits, but one that fits perfect. After having some minor trouble with Ariat work boots in the past, I have to say that my search is over in finding the perfect work boot.Nothing feels better at work than having a perfect pair of boots, because your feet are your most used tool.There are a few things to say about this boot, and about Ariat boots in general.Most importantly is the type of foot support used. Ariat has several different types of support that they use in their boots ranging from entry level to maximum comfort. This boot uses ATS MAX, which is as good as it gets for work boots. These boots give a ton of support for your feet which translates to less foot fatigue. This is incredibly important, especially for working conditions, because lack of support promotes poor posture, puts stress on knees and lower back, and lessens productivity. I would not purchase a pair of work boots with anything less than what ATS MAX offers. The amount of cushioning and shock absorption is above and beyond what I would expect from a pair of tough work boots.But beyond that, comfort isn't the only standout feature of these boots. As someone who works in both oily and dusty environments, the oil and slip resisting outsole is great. Many boots like to advertise slip resistant, and to a certain extent no boot is entirely slip resistant, but these boots do a great job in my experience. The extra wide shank is great for working on ladders. Composite toe and Electrical Hazard rated are icing on the cake.I can't comment on how effective Venttek is, but combined with an effective moisture wicking footbed I haven't had a problem with temperature or sweat. I also wear thick wool socks which do a great job of moving moisture away. Nobody likes when their cheap thin cotton socks get soaked and start to slide around inside their boot.The worst thing about ordering footwear online is the uncertainty of sizing. I own quite a few boots from Ariat, both casual and work. Their work boots are where I've run into trouble in the past in regards to sizing. This boot however, fit me perfectly and true to size. It must be noted that leather boots are supposed to feel as if they might be too tight when you first put them on, because they stretch to form fit your foot over time. Work boots especially, considering the amount of stress that they go through on a daily basis. Just a matter of breaking in your boots, which only took a couple 12 hour days with these boots.I have also had problems with work boots in the past that have had the U-turn system, also fitting very loose in the heel and causing drag. In a sense that's to be expected even a little bit considering there is no way to cinch them tight like lace ups. However, I don't have that problem with this boot. In fact my heel is almost as secure as my lace up work boots which is saying something.In the end, this boot has everything I need and also compliments style in the process. It's true that everyone's feet are shaped slightly differently, and one design of boots may not work the same for two different feet. Just because it fits so well to my foot doesn't mean it will for everyone. My feet are pretty average with higher arches than normal, but in general my feet are proportionally sized to the rest of my body. I've owned many Ariat boots in the past and other than a few pairs of their work boots being too large, everything has fit true to size including these particular work boots.For what it's worth, as of this writing this pair of boots is $20 cheaper on Amazon than on Ariat's website.

In it for the long haul.
Great quality boot! The fit runs true to size, and the leather is very soft and supple on the leg but sturdy on the foot to avoid damage while working. It has a really thick sole with good grip on the bottom. The grippers on the bottom are black and yellow. I used this product with a water protectant to make it water proof. It is not naturally waterproof, so I would recommend treating it if that is what you're looking for! I really think this product will last a really long time! I really like the color, too, it's kind of a rust-brown type color. A really nice tan with a reddish tone.The boots arrived in new condition, in their original box, and came within two days. The price was better than at the stores I looked at, even with them being on sale. They are comfortable to wear, and provide really good support. I like the tabs on the side, which make them easy to pull on, especially if you are putting them on over thick socks in the winter time.Update: Almost a year later and these boots are still going strong. No holes, and the soles still look great and have years left on them. I can see them lasting for 5-10 years, honestly. May not last that long if you use them all day, every day, but I am pretty rough on them and they are holding up great.Thanks so much!!! If you find my review helpful, please rate it as helpful. I try and follow up and be as detailed as possible on my reviews here on Amazon.

Nice boots
These boots fit very well and size runs true. Came in Golden Grizzley box but were a dark chocolate boot . Good sole on the boot. Good thick leather but still flexible. This is my first pair of Ariats. We have to see how they last. Put Sno Seal on them as soon as they came out of the box. If they make it a year I will give them a thumbs up. I am buying them over the wolverines I have worn for 25 years. Wolverines have become a joke of a boot.UPDATE. I just purchased another pair of the golden grizzley workhog boots. The first one are still in pretty good shape after a year of hard use. The soles are leaning to one side now, so I only were them in the pasture now. What great boots they are if you will just sno seal them two or three times a year they really hold up well. Buy them snug for in a few months they tend to get a little loose.
