Could use some work
Boots aren't perfect but they're probably the most comfortable pair that I've tried in a while. The top of the boot huts my shin everything I walk and it's irritating but I hope it doesn't bother irritate my skin the way it irritates me.

Not worth $350
I've owned a lot of boots in my time, and I always lean toward the pull ons. I work in the excavating field, crush concrete & asphalt, plus mechanic on the equipment. These boots didn't last any longer then their competitors. So paying thay extra $150 for the boot, was not worth it.

Squishy air sound
I knew these boots would be some pretty incredible boots when it comes to performance, comfortability, and style. I love these boots but I have decided to rate with 4 stars because after using my boots in the rain and having to walk thru puddles, my boots when I walk give that squishy sound every time I take a step with both boots, it really sucks to have every step you take make a loud squishy air sound ,

Amzaing boot owned 2 Pairs
Im a CNC Machinist, i work in one of the most brutal environment for footwear, hot and sharp metal chips, cutting oil, degreasers, and cleaners, with concrete floors.
I got 3 years out of the first pair, and 2 from the 2nd, (i took better care of the first) both pairs of these boots not one chip has embedded in my sole, no oil has gotten in my boot, or water. I beat the hell out of my boots, they are as much a tool as the ones in my machines.
The only issue, and its usually the failure of all shoes in the shop, Rubber, specifically on this boot the Toe Cap. It has been eaten away by the oil i work with, it has broken down and become a gum.
Im already in touch with Ariat to send in my Boots with an MSDS of what i work with to help them make a more better boot for us Machinist.
I will be ordering my 3rd pair here soon.

Loved the boot but hated taking them off!!
Loved the boot but hated taking them off since the inside unglued making it a pain to take them off. The exterior did hold up and the fit was awesome

Almost great
I am a heavy equipment field tech and these boots do great as long as you keep them dry but that's only for the exterior. The inside of the last two pairs I've had have come unglued making it another job just getting them off after work.

Looks great...... doesn't last
Loved the look of the boot. Very heavy though. Have had for awhile but only wear them in snowy/bad weather due to the "waterproof". Must be a relative term. Inside of boot has also come loose so taking it off has become a pain. Don't think I'll be shelling out another $300+ for another pair since they didn't stand up to much actual wear.
