HALF SIZE TO BIG,ORDER EE

Comments about Ariat Men's Rambler 11" Western Boots:

First pair of the Rambler I ordered was just big. I ordered a size 12 to start and then went to an 11 and even the 11 was a bit big.

The problem I had with these boots was a raised seam on the inside of the left boot. This occurred with 2 pairs of 11's and 1 pair of 10.5, all in the same spot. The right boot was fine and I could not feel the seem whatsoever. I tried inserting different and/or additional insoles to stop the persistent raised seem in the boot to no avail. Maybe I have sensitive feet? All I really know is that I have owned dozens of boots in my life some good, some bad. But I have never had to deal with this type of product reliability with a boot. I have worn Justin's, Laredo's, Nick's, White's, Hawthorne's, Tony Lama's, Double H's and probably others I can't remember and I have never had this kind of problem. I believe that problems lies with where Ariat decided to place the seams for the sole and insole of the boot which runs right under the ball of your foot, in perfect line to cause issues if there were to be any.

Don't get me wrong I understand with any boot that there is a break in period that a person should endure and that break in period can be longer with a higher quality boot. It has taken me months sometimes to break in a boot. I gave these boots almost 4 months before I had enough, which is more than enough time for a boot to break in.

So whoever is making the left boot in the Ariat Factory needs to wise up and get with the program.

To anyone who considers this boot please be cautious when ordering.

I bought these to wear as an every day pair of boots. As many have stated, they are very comfortable out of the box. No break in time needed at all. I wore them to a convention the day I bought them and after 8 hours of walking, still felt good.
They do seem to run about a half to nearly one full size big. I always wear an 11Wide in my Ariat Sierras or Ariat Quickdraws. In these Ramblers I ended up with a 10.5Wide. Still had enough room to wear my normal socks I wear with boots. Next, I am going to order the Roughened Black.

These boots are comfortable, good for working and like to get dirty then clean up well for a nite out two stepping. As they are they are ugly but with a little elbow grease you can have a very comfortable boot that looks like high end. Here's how to do it, first of all the leather is quality but with an ugly finish so what you want to do to have your one of kind boot is apply a dark brown shoe polish and work it in,(DO NOT POLISH THE UPPER), it will take probably the whole can, pay special attention to the toe area so if your military or ex and know how to apply a spit shine you will want to do this, the toe seems to be the worst, after that apply light brown polish for maintenance. So there you have it, you can take these extremely comfortable boots and make them look good.

I've been eying these boots for a while now, and I finally decided to purchase them during the Stinky Boot sale. One word to describe these boots and Boot Barn in general: Amazing! Given the Stinky Boot sale, I was able to purchase my Ramblers for 35 bucks less than the local western wear store near my house! [...]As for the actual boots, they are extremely comfortable and breathe pretty well. The only downside is that they are about 1/2 size bigger than your sneaker size. For example, I wear size 10 1/2 but ended up purchasing the Ramblers in size 10. Also, I'm technically a width size E, but the width size D still feels great. Therefore, I recommend trying on these boots before purchasing just to get the most comfortable feel out of them.

These are incredibly comfortable boots. The square toe and availability of wide sizes makes for a good fit for those of us with wide feet. I could do without the fake dirt/staining on the edge of the outsole but it does wear off with some rubbing. I also conditioned the leather a little because, again, I don't need the fake worn look (I don't buy pre-torn jeans either). Once you start wearing these you won't want to put on anything different.

Great Boots. First time I ever purchased boots for our many trips to Nashville. Ordered a half size smaller and they fit awesome. A little tight on the arch but after wearing them for a few hours they broke right in. Walked into the first place in Nashville and was asked where I had gotten them. Comfortable, and feel like a shoe you wore for years. Will purchase another pair when they wear out!

This boot is awesome can't say enough about it. It's the perfect boot looks sexy and is comfy i would buy another pair. Just make sure on your size because i ended up getting 1/2 size smaller than my normal size for it too fit me right.

I bought these boots about 4 weeks ago and love em. Good comfortable boot that I can wear at work, but they look good enough to wear at night. The soles, unlike traditional western boots, have groves that run up and down the sole. This helps a lot with traction in wet conditions, grass, sand, etc. The upper section of the boot is made out of soft leather (bomber jacket type suede), so there is no chafing of the calves like some boots. Also these boots are comfortable right out of the box, no break in period! Overall just a great boot!
