This is the third pair of this style boot (water proof) and on both pair I had/have the problem of the seams coming apart. It was the left one on the first pair and now it is the right one on the latest pair. The latest pair were worn only during last winter and early spring. They were gotten out this fall and I have noticed that the inside toe seam has begun to fail, and the outside toe seam looks like it was cut when the seam layers were trimmed. The left boot appears to be wearing OK with no evidence of seam break down. These boots were purchased while traveling out of state on vacation in June of 2009. This makes it difficult to make contact with the place of purchase. It seems weird that this fault would happen on different boots (left then right) so it can't be blamed on a foot deformity. These boots were size 11.5 to make room for thicker socks, as I usually wear size 11.

Ever since I put my foot into an Ariat boot 5 years ago, that's all I wear. I really like these Terrain shoes for everything I do. They are the choice for me when I ride my quad (4-wheeler) and go camping/hiking. They are tough and my last pair lasted over a year & 1/2 and 8k miles. Can't go wrong with these if you are active and want comfort too.

I bought a pair of these a few years ago and wanted to replace them. New shoes are not near the quality of the old shoes. Pull tab on rear is made for a childs fingers.

I hope you keep this boot around for a long time. I have a pair in each color and just love the stability and comfort I enjoy. I have several friends that have this boot and we all agree it's the best.

I've been wearing Ariat paddock boots and barn boots for years. My husband wanted a boot for just walking around and he is very happy with these. Comfortable and he likes the look.

I have had my boots for 5 or 6 years now, I wear them every day. These boots go from being wet to being frozen, they goin rough mountian areasandaregreatfor ranch work.theseboots have never failedand are stillgoing strong. the price is great can't ask for better.

Very comfortable and non expensive

I think these are the best shoes I've ever had for comfort and durability. When I say comfort I mean they help me staybalanced, and you cantell the difference from othershoesat the end of the day byhow yourfeetfeel. This is my second pair and I ordered these online and delivery went off without a hitch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the first pair so well and they were getting worn after 5 years so I bought a second pair and they feel even better.

Have bought these shoes many times for over $100,never have bought them for $40 thank you.

Once I got them broken in they became more comfortable. I enjoy them now.

I bought the exact same pair roughly 6 years ago in Montana and absolutely loved them. Moved to Nebraska a bought a pair on-line, the exact pair. This new pair feels so much cheaper as if they're trying to save a buck at the expense of the customer. If I would have known I would not have spent the money. Maybe the more expensive pair have is the better quality product.

Absolutely pathetic life span! Sad too as they are amazingly comfortable for daily chores. After about 4 months of daily use for 3-4 miles per day they are falling apart.

Top quality product at a value. I wear everyday for a work show. Comfortable and supportive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are nearing my 10th pair. I wear them daily on the farm and keep a spare pair around for the weekends. They never give out and even survive cow pastures too! Don’t ever quit making them please.

I've only had these a week but already know these are one of the best fitting and most comfortable shoe I've worn in a long time. I've had a great deal of pain in my right foot for around a year and the only shoe that I could wear were my Asics running shoes but I can't wear those all the time. The Ariat Terrain hikers are just as comfortable and my right foot doesn't hurt while wearing them either and I walk a good bit during the day. I love them! I must add I replaced the insoles, because they're not that great, with Dr. Scholls pro heavy duty insoles I'm sure that helps with my high praise as well.

Awesome shoes! Very durable and stand up to all types of weather. No break in period...put them on and they fit your size and wear them all day!

I generally spend a full day around horses. These are the most comfortable boots I have worn over the years. I am a repeat buyer and have yet to find something that I like better.

Great boots

bought these in Casper,WY. Comfortable right out of the box. Walked many hours in Yellowstone NP and Cody Museum. Wowwhat comfort. No tired,aching feet.Will be wearingthemfor working in ourlocalmuseum.Theylook good for just casual wear too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] More like a sneaker than a boot. Little break in needed at all, but do t expect these to protect your foot on rocky surfaces!

I'm an old man with particular feet. Right out of the box they felt right, so they are a daily now.

This is my second pair and I'm work maintenance climbing ladders cutting yards using them in rainy weather and they're still holding up.

Something has changed at Ariat. This pair does not have the same comfort as prior shoes - three pair over the past three years. These are one eighth inch narrower on the soles and the uppers barely cover the tongue. The leather is not supple as in the past - these new ones are as stiff as cardboard. I bought myself a size 11D and my wife an 8B and we both have the same complaints - the same sizes we have always bought. The older ones needed no break-in and these may not make it as we do a lot of walking and they are not comfortable. Ariat - please go back to to previous manufacturer.

I ordered this boot on line and it was to small for my foot. I called the local "Boot Barn store" and inquired about returning the boot. The sales person (Male) suggested I look at the same boot they had on the shelf in the store. It was the correct size I wear and made the purchase after they issued me a credit to my card. I will pass along that the sales person was very helpful and pleasant with this transaction.

I wear these whenever I go hiking or when I'll be on my feet all day running errands. I'm a big, tall guy and these are the most comfortable pair shoe/boots I have EVER worn. Worth every penny and then some.

I use these boots everyday. I've ridden 250 endurance miles on a horse in them, I ride my quad in them. I am rough on my boots and Ariat makes the only boots that can hold up and Ariat made a boot for the terrain atlast, not just for riding or style. I think its' the best buy I ever made for boots.

I purchased a pair of these boots years ago, they lasted 15 years, I loved them. Purchased a new pair and within a month the material at the top was peeling off. So disappointed. What has happened to ariat's quality??? I will never purchase ariats again. Not well I recommend them.

Love this boot. Own a pair myself. Durable, comfortable, wonderful riding boot. Bought this one for my husband who found it equally as comfortable!

Extremely comfortable, but first pair started coming apart between the sole and shoe at the heel within a week. SECOND PAIR, started coming apart between the sole and the shoe on the upper part by the toes.
