Ariat Men's Sierra Aged Bark Wide Square Steel Toe Work Boots

I got these boots around 5 years ago and they've been through hell, I wear them every day and they've been through two motorcycle accidents and still hold up great.

I purchased these boots a couple months ago at a local retailer here in town. I own thousands of dollars worth of Ariat FR clothing that I love, so I had pretty high expectations for their boots. Unfortunately this was my first pair of Ariat work boots and will most likely be my last. The boots were a little uncomfortable when I got them but I know work boots need broken in so I wasn’t to worried about that. After a couple months of break in time they are still as uncomfortable as day one and the top portion is so tight it’s basically form fitted to the top of my foot. On top of these being painfully uncomfortable they already have stitching coming undone which is ridiculous for a $150+ dollar pair of boots. Very disappointed

These were my first cowboy boots I've gotten and they feel amazing. I get lots of use out of just between work and the day to day business and they never fail.

Been wearing these for over a month to work and they still haven’t gotten broken in. I have old Justin’s and other ariat boots that didn’t take this long to break in. At the end of the day my feet are killing me. The leather is also soft almost like suede, so the toes are getting torn up worse than other boots I have had. Wish I had got another pair of Justin’s or a different pair of ariats.

Honestly after reading multiple reviews before purchase and seeing all the good things said about these boots I ended up being quite disappointed in the end. Purchased in February 2022 and now being June 2022 only 4 months both toes already showing steel, the right boot started showing at the 2 month mark. Also these boots have a very rough break in worse then any boot I’ve ever owned. Now the reason I am bumping it to a 2 star instead of a 1 is because after the break in the boot was fairly comfortable. Being a steal fitter I’m on my feet for around 8-10 hours a day and once the break in period was over I never really had any problems with uncomfortability. Just wish the toes could have stood a better chance. Would have put this boot at a higher rating.

Super tough boots, have lasted lots of dirty, hard work. The steel toe is a huge plus!

Like the look, got asked about my boots a couple times. Fits comfortable after you break them in. Only thing is my left boot got a small cut after hitting a pallet not to long in.

I bought my last pair of Ariat boots, Usually they last a long time and are very comfortable. But my last pair after a couple of months working in them the sole started to separate. Ariat is a great company so I have faith they will reach out and do what is right to a loyal customer who has spent thousands on their boots.

Boots feel alot more stiff on the top of my feet. Makes it very sore even though I wear the boots every day. Still look great. Miss the colored seams though

I bought these boots in October for my 14 year old son to wear when he does ranch work. He only does occasional work with tractors and livestock, so we expected the boots to last much longer than they have. Within the first 2 months the leather around the steel toe had started to wear through, and now after 6 months there is no leather left holding the steel toe in on the right boot, and the side seems have split on both boots leaving holes in the sides. I am disappointed that the boots lasted only 8 months, and I think that we will buy something else next time.

Less than 30 days in the field. While clearing some dead brush off the side of the tracks I had a twig puncture completely through the side of a boot.

Repeat buyer. Please do not discontinue. Wear out quickly from welding and purchase once to twice per year

These boots are so comfortable. I wear them all day with no issues

I bought these new April 2021. As far as comfort they are 5 stars. This is my 3rd ATS sole/insole boot and it can’t be matched. As far as durability goes, 2-3 stars. I am a loyal avid Ariat customer and have at home, work, and at home dress Ariats so I decided to get their work brand boot. I was excited to have the ATS insole like my dress boots and after 9 months the insole is wore out and the steel toe has cut the side of the boot on the inside big toe area where it transitions from steel to non-steel on both boots. I work in Construction as an inspector, spending all day on development sites and or asphalt. I often saddle soap and mink oil them to keep them conditioned and waterproof. I see reviews of users on pipelines and welders and that is heavy duty work. I feel as though my work would be medium-heavy duty in comparison so it baffles me that some reviews get years of heavy duty work and yet after 9 months mine are showing this much wear. I would wonder if it’s a inconsistency of quality control. I would love to say these are years old but this is just 9 months wear causing a split at the steel toe. Disappointed.

I use these as everyday boots. I loveeee them. The boot is very nice looking and gives maximum performance and comfort. I use these on a ranch doing chores and this boot has saved my foot a lot. Overall great farm/ranch boot

I’ve bought these boots twice now for my son. He does farm work and loves these and says they’re comfortable along with having the safety of the steel toe.

These are the best looking most comfortable work boot right out of the box .

So I bought this pair of boots about two weeks ago (was super excited to actually own a pair of Ariats). In that two weeks, I've had to bend and contort different areas of the boot to break it in (was tight around the foot, and the pull up section had cut the back of my heel). I thought I had finally gotten it all sorted, but here I am about to return these boots as the steel toe in my right boot only is digging into the top of my toes causing pain when walking and my foot to fall asleep when sitting. Left boot is fine, so I don't quite understand what's going on. Fit is fine with no flop. The only other thing I'll say is, these boots scuff VERY easily. Most of my job is sitting in front of a computer, but having boots is awesome for when I have to go out in the field. In my very very limited time in the field in these two weeks, in my right boot I have a nice little hunk in the area of my big toe coming off along with another small scuff on both boots. Would think as work boots these would hold up a bit better especially for people that actually need work boots all day every day.

Had them about a month and happy overall. All day use

This is my second favorite pair of Ariat slip on steel-toe boots. These lasted the longest and the most comfortable.

couldnt even wear these boots for a whole day as it tore open the back of my ankle drawing blood. Have always had good luck in the past with the brand. Maybe manufacturing expectations have dropped.

Could not find my size at Academy. Went to Ariat directly. Fit great. Go on and come off with ease.

I wear 11.5 on shoes, this boots run a little big. Have to order half size smaller or wear thick socks. Love them overall

I bought these boots as a gift for a friend. He is really pleased with them and loves the fit and look of the boots.

This boot is well made and comfortable. I typically wear a size 9.5 in tennis shoes but wear a size 9 in Ariats. Seems like they run 1/2 size bigger but I wear normal socks and not thick boot socks. These boots are sharp and don’t take long to break in. Definitely quality workmanship. Ariats, in my opinion, are the most comfortable western boots I’ve ever worn.

Have had these for a little under 2 months and the steel is already through the leather. They still don't feel broken in and I can't wait to get them off after a 10-12 hour day. They look good but not at a sacrifice of comfort/quality.

They are great! We are faithful Ariat wearers and don’t see us changing anytime soon.

Great boots. Fast service.

I bought these because I work security and the normal security boots are tight on my tug boats. These look very professional and can be cleaned easily. Ariat work boots were always good to me in construction, trucking and back in my bull dogging days. So I’ll round house the regular security boots out of my closet and stick with my long time foot companion Ariat. Bonus I get to feel like Walker without the Chuck Norris good looks. Extra bonus steel toes add weight for a leg day work out. YeeYee.

Love Ariat boots. I have these in soft toe and steel toe. Purchased for work. I’m on my feet at least 12 hours a day. Had to retire these.....killed my feet. Tried the new insoles, but didn’t help. Like I said I love the Ariat brand boots, but not these at all. Feet killers.....

Comfortable just wish I would have gotten a 1/2 size smaller so they fit snugger first time with the wrist brand boot so for good

I bought these for my husband,and he says they are very comfortable, and the leather is soft. They look great, too, with his firefighter uniform.

Gave these to my husband yesterday for Father’s Day. So far he loves them! Sizing was correct, and fit well. He wore them the rest of the day, and the only down side so far I’d say is a bit of thread was bunched up on the bottom. Other than that, so far so good!
I always bought him another brand of boot that was a bit cheaper, and they barely would last half a year with the type of work he does. Hopefully for the price, these last longer!

I bought these boots after my last pair of boots (Carolinas) split at the seam. I figured I’d try these boots out, since I’m a welder I wanted to try something without laces. These boots are very comfortable on the foot, however they hurt my back after wearing them for more than a couple hours. I think this may be due to the heel difference, as I am used to wearing logger boots all the time.
4 stars for a great boot I’d give 5 but they just arnt what I was expecting.

Awesome boots! I have a pair to work in and a pair to wear out.

Just opened the box and I loved them instantly steel toe was a nice touch for these

I've been wearing my new pair I purchased from Boot Barn now for the last few days. So far so good, they are great. Very comfortable and I also have Naconas, these are a half size bigger and give me more room for my toes.

I bought these boots a week ago and they hurt my feet bad I stand and walk for 8+ hrs a day and at the end of the day my feet are just pounding in pain do not recommend if u do alot of walking

These boots fit great right out of the box. 1st day was a 14 hour work day, my feet were comfortable all day!

I got these boots for my boyfriend for Christmas and less then a year later they are already completely destroyed. Both toes were completely worn through the leather to the steel in about a month, the seams on both boots are torn, and the insoles are ripped up. If you are just looking to be doing light work day to day these would probably be good boots, but if you are looking to be doing heavy work they don’t really hold up and I would recommend a different boot. Pretty disappointing for me to say because I am a loyal Ariat customer, but these boots don’t seem to cut it.

I love Ariat boots so I decided to try Ariat work boots. I’ve never had a problem with non steel toe boots having enough room but this pair is just cramped in toe room. Tried every size variation was the same. Too bad I had to have safety toe boots for work.

These are the most painful boots I have ever encountered. They make the old combat issue boots in boot camp in the late 80’s and 90’s seem wonderful. I had to quit wearing them after a month because I could hardly stand up on my feet after wearing them at work. I had to go back to Justin’s.

My wife just bought these boots for me for Christmas from Tractor Supply. They are very tight on the top of my foot, no toe wiggle room, within 2-3 minutes I had to take them off. Yes they are the correct size. They are not comfortable out of the box like my Justin's were. Boots will be returned to TS and replaced with Justin's.

For the first 2-3 weeks I wore them they hurt my feet and knees so bad. The next 4 months they weren't bad other then they leaked. Now month 7 the insoles are junk and the leather starting to come apart. I'm a machinist so I have to stand on concrete floors all day and dont really work them as hard as other jobs would. I'll never waste my money on Ariat work boots again do your self a favor and buy redwings.

Bought these boots as they came highly reccommended from my friends in the O&G industry. I work in the Utility Industry and have worn them daily since purchase. These boots are extremely comfortable, so much so I wear them on the weekends also.

I’ve had these boots for four years now and , I wouldn’t wear anything else!

Very stylish, very durable, and very comfortable.

All of my co-workers are buying this boot. They look great and are comfort.

I weld in a factory setting and these boots are by far my favorite, very supportive. When a 1000lb bar landed on my leg my feet were protected and the boot had minimal damage. Would highly recommend

They fit great and are very comfortable. Will buy another pair
