ARIAT Heritage IV Zip Waterproof

These paddock boots have the most comfortable insole. After 1 ride they felt broken in. For me they fit true to size. I would buy them again.

These are the typical, well constructed Ariat boot. I have a pair of size 9 Ariat cowgirl boots (not sure of the style) and love them. Got these for Summer riding and doing barn work. I bought a size 9 in this style, but I find it very snug in the ankle and over the instep where the zipper runs. Being leather, I am sure they will break in over time. However, there is no way I can currently wear these with anything more than a thin trouser sock or knee high nylon. If you need these to wear with any sock of any thickness, buy up 1/2 size. I need these for Summer riding so, I'll keep them. Otherwise, they would be on their way back for a 9 1/2. They will be stiff for a good heel down riding position. But, again, I hope they will break in a bit in time. They also have the typical, slightly loose heel fit as most Ariats. There is a built in tongue behind the zipper to make sure they will be waterproof in that area. Again, the ankle fit is also very stiff and snug. Again, hoping it will loosen up over time. Great tread and I anticipate they will be pretty slip resistant in mud and snow. I have no doubt these will provide years of use.

I'm a huge fan of Ariat. These boots are perfect for moist wet conditions. I usually don't have to break in my boots but this particular boot took me 5 rides to break in. I'm guessing because of the H2O factor the leather is a bit firmer. Once broken in they are just like my regular ones with the exception that these are used during rain or wet conditions.

They arrived today.They seem like nice boots, they fit well and are comfy.The only issue is that the leather has a bad cut. Not a huge deal, but for this kind of money, I’d like to have them in perfect shape being brand new.

Love these boots. Perfect for rough tasks and then, after a wipe down with a cloth, transitioning to a run to the grocery store. Not suitable for the deep mud of my field gardening. Only rubber boots on those occasions. I like the tailored look. They definitely run small. First ordered a 7.5 Medium. Too tight in the ankle and too narrow. Exchanged for an 8 Medium. Fits perfectly.

I don’t write a lot of reviews so this is a big one. These are the worst shoes I have ever worn. The person who made them hates women and feet. I DO NOT recommend them. Please stay away unless you want the back of your feet to look like mine.

I bought these for my wife who has recently taken up dressage riding and wanted boots that would hold up. So far she is very pleased with these boots during riding and being out in the wet pasture bringing the horses in and out. They keep her feet dry and the boots are comfortable

These are SUPER COMFORTABLE boots right out of the box! I wear them with or without socks, zipped or unzipped, and they look great with skirts!Size runs true and extremely well made! Perfect for wearing around the stables or around town... you can't go wrong with these boots!
