After Less than 3 Months of use, and around 2 months of labor use, the boots are falling apart. I purchased Ariat boots invested in the belief that the quality was worth the price. If I knew they would last less than the cheaper market boots I wanted to move away from, I would have gone for the cheaper boots once again (CAT Steel Toe Wellston boots are not listed to be water proof, but have been better quality and even better at keeping water out an. The boots are extremely comfortable, but after two months, I can see they are not "work boots" as they claim to be. Additionally, the boots are not waterproof. My feet are soaked after every day at work.

Extremely disappointed Ariat would produce something of such low quality, and even more disappointed Amazon would agree to sell such products on their. I thought the quality standards of both were higher.

Buddy at work had many pairs and liked the way they looked so ordered a pair. OMG!!! These are the BEST boots I have ever owned!! I have had ankle pain and fasciitis plantar pain for years in my left foot when walking and I kid you not that the pain goes away when I wear these boots. I love putting these on at work and actually go for walks around facility where I work because these are so comfortable and a pleasure to walk in. These are my work boots (thinking about using these for hiking). They took about a week to break in and form fit to my feet. Had for about 3 months now, water proof and wear are great. Cant wait to get second pair.....update got second pair and now using my year old ones for everyday going to work and gonna try a hike with them.....one year later still love these boots, super comfortable, no tears or holes, soles holding up well!!!! Worth money and still say best boots I have ever owned (better them my $200+ red wings)!!!

love the fit of these boots.Been wearing Justin brand for 30 years .I went thru 3 different pairs of Justin's , in three weeks time, including the style I usually buy yearly ,could not get a comfortable fit ,so I tried another style ,still could not wear more than 10 minutes before they would begin to hurt my feet . I'm used to having to break in new leather boots ,but I never experienced anything like this in the past with Justin's,so I just gave up on them,Don't understand what happened with Justin . Tried different brands and styles at the local boot store when I found and tried these Ariat's. Bought them on line using my points thru Amazon .Perfect fit from the start and very comfortable . These are my new brand and style for a work boot that I wear daily. If you have to wear them all day everyday ,they have to be comfortable and I love these for fit and comfort ,plus they don't look bad at all for a working man's boot

I really like these boots there are very comfortable and work good. They are definitely waterproof! Although about a week after getting them I was riding home on my bike in the rain and when I got home I took my boots off and my socks were damp. So I thought it was because going at highway speeds with the rain that the boots were leaking. So I got a hold of Amazon and they sent me a replacement pair within two days. I tried those and come to find out they don't leak my feet were sweating and it was getting my socks wet. So they don't breathe well as far as that goes but they are definitely waterproof. They work great on my motorcycle and they're comfortable at work. Definitely worth the money and I'm sure they'll last a long time.

One of the complaints I have about this boot is that you can slightly feel the edge of the steel toe plate...at times.
Other than that, this boot is fricking awesome!
Yesterday I was wading in water up past my ankle and never once was my foot even remotely damp! Truly waterproof!
I will admit that I am really hard on my boots. I'm a jack of all trades and my environment changes daily so I come across all kinds of things that challenge my work boot. I have had these for over a month and you can't hardly even tell they have been worn.
Great boot, great comfort, amazing durability, astonishing quality...excellent buy! Don't hesitate.
And no, I wasn't asked to write this review nor was I paid to do so, they are just that great!
