Ariat Men's Rebar Flex Brown and Olive Waterproof Wide Square Composite Toe Work Boot

I've had these boots for roughly 10 months. I work in an office and warehouse - lots of concrete walking.
The good:
- Comfortable, very durable, not too heavy, they look great once they're broken in.
- Waterproof is great to have, there's no place I won't go in these boots.
- Composite toe has saved me on a few occasions.
The bad:
- Even after replacing the insoles with brand new Ariat insoles, my heels are generally sore after each day.
- Not breathable. My feet sweat and stink these boots up pretty bad. So much that I usually cannot wear them back-to-back days because they're still wet the next morning. BUT, I purchased a boot dryer machine that produced ozone to disinfect The ozone it produces completely kills all bacteria and eliminates the odor and makes them bone dry. I would recommend spending the money on one.
With that being all said, I'm actually looking at getting a second pair (maybe a different style) just to have 2 pairs.

I purchased these almost a year ago. The were comfortable for about 4 months then the inside started to break down and the heal started to come apart. 6 months in the sticking started to separate and the no leak. No more water proofing and you have wet feet. I think I’d buy their casual wear boot again but not sure I’d buy them again as a work boot

I purchased these for my husband. He previously had Wolverines that only lasted 3 months in his line of work. He said that there is a huge comfort difference & loves the fact that they are waterproof.

I bought these boots a month ago and they are very comfortable.

I’ve had these boots for exactly 5 months now and am 100% pleased, at first I thought not so great but after they broke in I was sold! I’m a plumbers apprentice for commercial plumbing and I’m on my feet 10-14 hours a day 5 sometimes 6 days a week and they have been on every surface imaginable, concrete, sand, mud, obviously water, metal grated floors, shingles, tar roofs, up and down stairs, ladders in and out of scissor lifts and still great! Only have a cut in them due to my own dumb mistake and still are 100% waterproof and warm and do the job!! I see them last at least another year or even 18 months 10/10 would recommend!! Especially for price point!

Wear them everyday. I work utilities for the city, these boots are constantly wet, covered in mud and clay and sometime sewer. 10 months and still in good condition and just as comfortable as day 1. These will forever be my choice for a work boot. Ya done good Ariat

i bought these simply based off of others reviews on it, seemed like everyone who bought them said they were great work boots. so i had to try them out for myself. ive only wore red wings before and im an industrial painter so my boots go through dirty work 10-12 hours daily. ive had these for 2 months now and theyre the best boots ive ever had. been holding up nicely and didnt take long to break in.. super comfortable as well. from here on out will only be purchasing ariat.

I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas. I looked and looked at reviews before I got them. Since hes had them he has slid down a aluminum ladder, gotten a blister on his ankle and slipped a few times on a roof. I figured since they were oil resistant he would have no trouble if he had to work out in the rain. This morning he did not wear his boots and he loves them he says but I think he doesn't want to hurt my feelings. It saddens me because I bought them because they were built to last, never thought they would cause him to get hurt.

A solid boot overall but the boot repeatedly cuts up my heels. I do work in my family’s orchard and whenever I do most work on foot for 8+ hrs my heels are cut at the end of the day. I bypass that issue by taping my heels with athletic tape.

I have a pair of ramblers that I love. I needed a pair that I could wear all day as I'm on my feet welding. So I purchased these on 31AUG18 just received them on 06SEP18 took a couple days to break in. I wanted to wait and get some time in them before writing a review. Well I have to say I love these boots for sure. Waterproofing definitely works great. I have been dealing with Hurricane Florence and in about foot high water dealing with flooding around the house. These boots are absolutely amazing. I'll continue to purchase these style boots in the future. Thank you Ariat for the excellent boots.

Hands down the best work boot ariat makes. Comfortable, durable, overall a very solid work boot. I was gonna completely bail on ariat if it wasn't for the rebar flex. Ariats are without a doubt tough enough for any job, but they haven't always been the greatest for being on your feet all day. In my opinion. These boots proved me wrong. I've done asphalt, tree work, irrigation, and landscaping with these boots. I highly recommend the rebar flex.

I've had these exact boots for 6 months now and I have about another month left on them if not a little more. I've worked 24 hour shifts and a 32 hour shift. I usually work 13-15 hours on a daily basis. I'm oilfield trash btw. I've worked on concrete, dirt/rock drilling pads,metal floor barge rigs and grating. I do drill pipe inspection. So oil,safety clean(varsol,drilling chemicals,and water(pressurewashing) have all been on my boots. I have zero complaints..to this day on 4/20/18... I bought them in October 2017. I'm a real person and do not work for a boot store or ariat. I am buying another pair. Highly recommended.Boots usually last me 3 months btw. I used to wear nothing but Justin and red wings. I don't think I'll buy anything other than ariat rebar waterproof work boots with composite toe ever again.

I have been wearing Ariat boots for a while now and upon starting a new job decided why not try out their work boots? These boots fit true to size and are comfortable to wear. I'm usually up at 4:30 AM and wear them till around 3 to 4 in the afternoon and have experienced no discomfort from the boot. Now I work for a contractor doing work on natural gas lines in New York city. Ever day I dig at least a five foot hole to begin my day. The boots have kept my feet warm enough in the winter while working. Like any boot you buy unless rated for (negative 30 f your feet may get cold if you are inactive. My only issue with the boot is the leather is wearing through rather quick in my opinion, however this is not a stab at the boot itself. My work environment is very abrasive and I should have purchased a model with abrasion resistance built in. The water proofing is true to claim as I am often standing in ankle deep water, and routinely work in the rain/ snow. I am confident in their water proofing until I wear through the toe. I will probably buy these boots again as a personal work pair, but will definitely choose an Ariat model with more abrasion resistance in the near future. I would recommend these boots to anyone working hard, but does not constantly scuff them on super abrasive surfaces. All in all they fit great, look great, work hard, but don't like sharp surfaces. Boots are a tool not magical objects of indestructability. They are a good boot, and the price isn't bad either.

This is my first pair of safety toed boots in many years . I have really enjoyed the comfort and they look great. Warm and dry! Delivery was quick at a fair price. They were true to size.

I ordered these because I liked the looks of them and because I had a free boot card. However, because of my own ignorance I ordered a steel/comp toe on accident. They are really comfortable and look good.

Work in a secured facility and love the fact I don't have to remove my boots for the metal detectors. They are also very comfortable and artist boots have always been durable. My last pair lasted about 18 months. Nest nag for the buck.

Broke in in less then a day, super tough and comfortable. And they look pretty awesome to boot. See what I did there? Great pair of work boots. Highly recommend.

I have been wearing these Rebar Western H2O boots for a month and I love them. They are very comfortable and well built. They are warm which is to be expected from a waterproof boot. I work at night so its perfect for me. Usually wear a size 12EE but was too tight. Sent them back and 13D was perfect. These are so much better than the Redwing boots I had.
