I really like the look of this boot. It is a bit narrower a cut than the last zip style and very tight around the top, also slightly shorter. I have been wearing them off and on for a week and hope they will stretch out. As all Ariats… well made.

This is the third pair I have purchase of these boots. My first pair were great and lasted me for years. The second pair seemed OK but only lasted for two years before the top seam blew out. This third pair I bought the same size per usual and expected the same fit - but these are loose and baggy around my ankles which make them borderline dangerous. I am exactly the same size as I have been for years so no physiological changes on my part! Very disappointed they don't fit and perform anywhere near my past pairs.....

Very comfortable, needs no break in. Waterproof. This is my second pair of these boots. Easy on and off with the zipper.

Bought for both riding and general wear. Like the quality and fit, extra sturdy at the toe. Definitely waterproof. Fit well even for wide foot. (Often need to go up a 1/2 size due to width but didn't for these) I also have a high instep - they are a little tight at the instep but are loosening up with wear. Being v careful with the zip.... pleased with my purchase, I just hope they last!

This boot is my best barnyard friend. I can go from mucking the stalls, to riding (dressage), to the wash rack without changing my shoes. Great traction in our slick clay mud. All this activity and my feet stay toasty and dry. I have thin, narrow feet so they are more roomy than my Heritage dressage boot. I compensate by wearing thicker socks. Small tradeoff for a boot that takes you everywhere.

I am on my fourth pair of these fantastic boots (over a 20 year period). I wear my old pair to the barn every day, and keep my newest pair for "good". The barn boots are still sturdy, waterproof and comfortable, and still look decent because I keep them cleaned and conditioned. I won't buy any other brand as long as these are available.

I am a big fan of this boot for their looks and comfort. I also ride in them, and appreciate their durability. This is my second pair and with my first, I think it's important to note that I never had problems with the zippers, per other reviews. I also actually prefer the side zips because they don't pressure the top of my foot as much as other paddock boots have done. I ride in these with half chaps and that's where they get tricky, due to their size. The half chap straps stretched to fit over the boot and the Velcro doesn't pull all of the way over at the bottom, but I prefer this chunky style of boots in the stirrup. I have been riding steadily in first pair for 5 years but have owned for ten. Slightly used first two years and put back to use after a 3-year hiatus. I'll be happily sporting this newest pair soon enough and keep the old ones in my car for any impromptu riding opportunities that occasionally occur. Highly recommend. Oh, and a little clean up and they look great for a night out too, depending on your outfit. :)

Very comfortable. This is my second pair. Only problem is the zipper doesn't lock and falls down. Happened in the 1st pair too but I was hoping it was just that pair.

I have a pair of the Barnyard Boot in the lace-up version from a number of years ago. This is one of my favorite pairs of Ariat boots along with the several pairs of Terrain that I own. These are my everyday boots. I have MS and need the extra support of a boot along with the firm footbed. Love your lace-up boots.

I like the idea of having a nice looking work boot. These are very nice boots but they should be a little higher around the ankle as the band where it is, is uncomfortable and they run about 1 size bigger than stated. I kept them because I wore the day after I received them and got them dirty. I have 3 pair of the ankle high paddock boots and absolutely love them, just wanted a brown boot so I deviated from my favorite.

I have purchased many Ariat H2O boots in the past and I am sorry to say the quality has steadily gone down hill. My first two pair of boots just plain wore out after lots of use. Subsequent purchases have not met up to my expectations. Have bought two pair of the Telluride style and have had seam and zipper issues. My latest pair was purchased last year and was lightly used. I only wear them in the winter to ride in. Second time on my feet this year and the zipper has split. Was considering purchasing the side zip boot but see multiple reviews that the zippers give out on them too. Don't know where to turn for my next boot because I love the fit and feel of Ariats and hate lace up shoes. Will try to get the zipper replaced by my cobbler but this may be my last pair. Ariat if you have consistent reviews about broken zippers why don't you resolve the issue. These boots are not inexpensive and you are losing customers. Will not recommend these to anyone!

If you consider these shoes one day you definitely should. I wore these babies when my cows got out of their pasture and was running through thick Michigan muddy fields. I slipped these on for a quick boot to chase these cows and they handled the thick mud and water without falling off! I was shocked and as long as you keep up on maintenance and water proofing, these boots will last! I also recommend riding horses with them! Money well spent 👍🏼

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable boots...BUT I've had several pairs, and the zippers always fail in one boot. I can't wear them really anymore, except as throw- on boots, and they were just "dress" boots from August 2023 to January 2024 and still managed to break. If they weren't so comfortable, I wouldn't buy them again. I've bought at least 5 or 6 pairs over the years, and they get five stars for comfort, but the price is way high for how long they last.

Almost more than 15 years my only pair and I travel great for easy to take out. The best pair and please Ariat keep doing this pair forever!

Loved the footbed on these as I do all Ariat boots. Ordered a half a size down and they fit perfectly, just as the reviews all said. However the ankle area hit right on my ankle bone due to the short height. I tried to cut off socks, doubling up to reinforce the ankle area trying to keep them because I love the foot bed so much. However they were too painful to keep.

I've been searching for a riding boot with a wide toe box and this is it. Very comfortable even with a bunion. Half chaps fit over it perfectly. Boot fits nicely in my English stirrup iron. Water-proof, too. Nice to have dry feet after all the rain we had.this season. The boot is advertised as running large for size with the recommendation that you order a half size smaller. I did that and the fit is perfect.

They are super comfortable to wear when working in the barn. The zipper does allow water in but rest of the boot stays waterproof (just keep that in mind when going into a muddy pasture). We’re tight around the ankle at first but have worn in well. Very cute style that is functional.

Love almost everything about this but I wish they were a little bit wider.

Needed a work boot that is waterproof and boy did this boot deliver. Feet stay dry all day. Inner sole is very well cushion. Feels like I am wearing a tennis shoes and not a boot.

After reading the reviews, I decided to try these boots. Ariat is the only brand of boots I can wear because of their cushioning, as I have neuromas in both feet. Let me say these boots are everything I was looking for. I wanted something I could wear to muck my horse's stall when muddy, hose them off, then be able to ride my horse without changing shoes. These boots let me do it all. They are surprisingly lightweight, easy to get off and on, and easy to clean. I would definitely recommend these boots. And they are soooo comfortable and stylish, I can stop off at the grocery store after riding! I will probably order another pair just in case they discontinue them.

I bought these boots for myself for my birthday. The first day I wore them it was raining and cold and the boots kept my feet warm and dry. I love these boots!

Love my new boots, comfortable, stylish, great support, hard to do up the zipper first couple times but they stretched a bit now it seems to be fine. Hope these last a long time i really like them.

I love these boots. Comfortable every time. I've owned many pairs over the years. Best, most comfortable shoes/boots I've ever worn.

I just got these in this week and LOVE them. I own 40 acres of mostly timber, but around 5 acres of cleared area with chickens, gardens, house, shed, and the like. Either way, all of the acres need tending. I've owned Georgia Boots and the like before, and my feet (from toe to heel) always ACHE by the end of the day. Not this time. My feet felt great, during and after!! I know I'm at the beginning of their use, and I truly hope I don't have the wear and zipper issues I read, but I'm excited to have these boots and at this point I highly recommend them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these boots because they are comfortable, durable, and stand up to barn chores, and look good, as well. I am so sad that they are discontinued, and hope they are replaced with something similar.

I have had three pairs of these boots. After wearing the first pair for a few weeks, I liked them so well I ordered another pair. In the meantime,the stitching andleatheron the inside seam at the ballof the foot came apart on the first pair. I returned them to the store and Ariat replaced them at no charge. Within a few more months the same thing happened on the second pair. This time Ariat declined to replace them although it was the same problem ...a design defect placing a seam right where the boot flexes. The third pair has done the same thing, once again after a few month's wear. My local cobbler has patched the damage, but they leak water and now the outside ball of the foot seams have started coming apart. I have experienced only one zipper problem and the cobbler was able to repair the original zipper. I really like the boots. They are very, very comfortable, don't have a deep, mud catching tread, and (when new) were water resistant. Easy to put on and provide good cushion and ankle support. They are exactly what I want for a daily wear chore boot on my small farm but, until the quality problems are resolved, I would not buy another pair.

I like these boots. Very combortable and roomy in the toe. I read what others said, so I sized down. I wear a 7.5, so I ordered a 6.5 in these and there are still too big! Bad sizing.

This is my second pair of these boots and the quality of this second pair is awful. I won’t make this mistake again. Don’t buy these!!

I have owned two pair of these boots. The first pair lasted only a few months until the zipper on one boot split apartat the bottom whileI was wearing them. Hadto cutmyselfout with scissors.Loved everything else about these boots so a year later I risked buying the second pair, which lasted about 2 winters (I only wore them during our short winter months, and then only at the barn). Same thing again with the zipper. When the leather around the ankle breaks in And softens, it gets those creases and so does the zipper, and then it's just a matter of time before the zipper fails. It pains me to see the price of these boots is now $30 higher. It used to be you could invest in an expensive pair of Ariats and they would last YEARS.

Just received my new boot order. Ordered 3 pair. This one won over for the job - in the everyday barn chores. Adorable, cute, absolutely perfect fit and comfortable the moment my foot slid into the boot. I just can't return the other pairs, though. Ariat is the BEST.

Have had these boots right at a year. Took very good care of them and loved everything about them.Still look like new but the zipper teeth on one fell apart and then the zipper of course was useless after that. I have not been able to find anyone here where I live that can fix it. Very disappointed. After reading reviews it seems as though this is a common problem.

I was loving these boots. They look nice and they are very comfortable. I have had them for less than a year and when I zip them up the zippers split open. The leather and the soles still have a lot of use left in them, but the boots are now useless to me. Very disappointing.

I ordered two pairs of boots. I always get an 8. One pair fit true to size. These are so huge I can't decide whether toget a 7 or a 61/2. Shouldn't Ariat shoe sizes be uniform?Geez!

Absolutely love this boot! Just wish it came with composite/steel toe.

Easy and comfortable break in. Because they tend to run large i ordered a half sized smaller than i normally wear, thus a perfect fit.

Purchased for my wife. She loves to fit & such a good looking boot for everyday wear.

I loved these boots until the teeth of one zipper first started to widen away from the other teeth near the top of theboot. The cloth around thattoothwasstarting to unravel and getting caught in thezipper too. This was just a little over a year after I bought them. I just didn't zip them up as far because the defect was near the top of the boot. Within about a month though the zipper came completely off track and made that boot totally unzippable. Like the other reviewer I am shocked at how much it will cost me to send the boots in to have a new zipper etc. It is almost as expensive as buying a pair of new boots. And I have no idea why the zipper tooth and cloth started separating away from the others in the first place. I did not wear these boots hard. Right now I have no horse and was not even actively riding or cleaning stalls the whole time I owned them. They were worn casually most of the time and I wore them riding only once or twice in the space of the year I wore them. VERY comfortable boots though! I was truly upset that they were no longer wearable. I was going to just buy another new pair but now I am not so sure after reading all of the other reviews. It is a shame though because I truly did love thest boots up until the day that they came apart! They are just too expensive though for me to have to replace them every year.

I have received them as a gift. I have used them daily 2 - 3 hours per day doing barn chores.After 10 monththe right shoe started to leak waterat thejunctionof leather an rubber sole. There isa hole Ican fit a tip of my index finge. The same shoe Inside aspect stiyching pulled apart.Otherwise they are cofomfotable and functional, but quality is lacking.

I was extremely happy with these boots, they were so comfortable I could wear them all day. Then because there was a spur rest I started using them for riding. Again, very comfortable. However, I would have expected that the whole boot would be leather and could withstand a bit of rubbing by half chaps. The dark part around the ankle is the thinest of plastic and has been rubbed off within a month. For the price I am very disappointed.

Amazing. Literally got these on the night before my 2 week work trip to South Korea. I've always had problems with boots because my feet tend to be on the wider side and never had proper support even with more expensive sneakers. I sincerely hoped I wasn't making a bad decision in buying these and taking them on my trip before even trying them on. I'm a bit on the heavier side, too, so doing something like this was a huge risk. Let me say... THESE ARE INCREDIBLE. I walked 22,000 steps my first Saturday there and I could not be happier about my purchase. They look great with my jeans, they fit great and they were perfect. They look so good in person!!!

My third pair of these boots absolutely love them. They are the best for riding.

VERY disappointed! I was so excited to get these and when I did the zipper does not stay zipped! There is no lock at the top of the zipper so as you walk the zipper just goes down, down, down

These boots are sturdy enough for work around the barn but low profile enough for riding. I love them so far!

I'm really happy with these boots. My toebox has widened after having children making it difficult to find boots that are comfortable for long-term wearing. These have been amazingly comfortable. I did order 0.5 size down as recommended by the manufacturer and they fit perfectly.

I'm glad I bought them. Very comfortable great style.

I wanted some boots that would let me garden and play in the backyard when it is muddy. These shoes feel good right out of the box. There was snow the day they arrived, which they made handy for the trip to the mailbox. They were pretty stable on icy conditions and tall enough that snow didn't get in to get my feet wet. I have wide toes, and narrow heels. These shoes have a roomy toe box without having heels so loose that my shoes flap around, which is something I don't always find.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice barn boots, but they ran a little large. I put foot inserts in them and they fit fine now.

I wear these at a horse rescue that I volunteer at about 10 hours a week. They are extremely comfortable and were great for the first four months, or so. After that the sole began to slightly separate from the boot and water gets in. It isn’t a lot, but on both feet, my big toes end up looking like prunes at the end of the day. For the price, I wouldn’t expect that to happen.

I bought these boots years ago and loved them until the zipper broke. I looked into getting the zipper replaced at our local saddle shop (they do leather repairs/custom work). I was told it would be cheaper to replace the boots rather than the zipper so I came looking to order a new pair. Obviously I'm not going to order another pair after reading so many reviews saying the zippers are still breaking. It's too bad...I still have a pair of Ariat paddock boots I bought in 1997 that are still going strong. I love Ariat and have MANY items (jackets, boots, hats, backpack, shoes) that I love!!

I absolutely love these boots. I have a hard time with width, foot pad comfort, top of foot comfort with boots. From the moment I put these boots on, they fit perfectly. I wear them 12-15 hours per day with no foot fatigue or discomforts. Good ankle, and foot support. Great sturdy, non slip soles with out deep grips so soles do not hold dirt. And is quite stylish.

These are comfortable boots, but a pain to get on. Why is the zipper on the outside instead of the inside?!? Very hard to bend over and try to zip while keeping the boot together. Zipper should definitely be on the inside, then it would be straight and so many people would NOT be having zipper problems. FIX THE ZIPPER,!!!!!!!!!!

I use these boots in the fall, winter, spring and early summer for walking the dog, mowing the lawn and just wearing them makes me feel great. Love these boots!!

Zipper problems. Leather has separated from the sole on the front and sides of both shoes.

I bought these for the barn, but they are my daily go to for work as well. They have axeide you box which is important to me as I have Mortons Neuroma. Being on my feet all day, on concrete......these are the only boots that I'm not crippled in by the end of the day. The easy on/off with the zipper is also a great feature. Oh, and they're pretty much water proof when bathing the horse! (And they look good too)

Just get my second pair. These are comfortable, warm, and waterproof. Have had so many compliments and know several friends who bought and loved them as well. Easy to keep clean (important!) and age beautifully.

I really like these boot. I have only worn them to a football game but they are really comfortable.

Wonderful fit... Excellent craftsmanship. Please don't ever compromise your values in producing these boots. Thank You

I've had the boots for about a month and just love them! The zipper makes it much easier and faster for me to get ready for the barn and the sole is very comfortable and I don't feel the rocks!! Very nice boot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My friend has these boots and I've admired them for at least a year. Finally decided to get a pair. They are ridiculously comfortable, and best of all they work at the ranch for walking around and with chaps in the saddle, and look equally good with a pair of jeans going to town. I got them for a riding trip in Ireland so I won't have to take multiple pairs of shoes. I did size down to a 7.5 from the 8 I usually wear sinceI the 8 was a bit too roomy. I can't vouch personally for the longevity of these boots, except my friend has worn hers daily for a year and they still look great.

This is the best all-around boot I've ever had. I bought a pair just before a trip to Scotland that included a week of horseback riding. They were the only shoes I wore for 15 days. Rain, mud, hiking, city streets, riding for 3 to 5 hours a day. Perfectly comfortable. This is my second pair. Love them.

Excellent fit right out of the box. My wide feet were so comfortable, I wore them for 8 hours the first time and felt as though I wasn’t wearing shoes. Light weight, supportive, and so cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered these boots twice. I wear them almost every day in my alpaca field. They are super comfortable and have great arch support. They are true to size.

I needed a waterproof boot that would stand up to hard work and --key-- easy to take on and off. I couldn't be happier. The side zip works well and means I don't have to work hard to take them on and off. I can walk around with them unzipped if I'm feeling particularly lazy. I've used these boots for everything from mucking out horse stalls to field veterinary work, where they are covered in blood and mud. I wipe them off and keep going, and my feet stay dry. All of Ariat's products are good, but the thing that differentiated these boots for me was the side zip--so incredibly easy in addition to rugged and tough.

Awesome Boots! They are so comfortable. The only thing that i can say wrong about these boots is that they rub right above the ankle, but that could be just cause they are still stiff and not broke in! All around great boots, very happy with my purchase!

Very comfortable. My 2nd pair. They are labeled "Upper is leather" But the narrow band around the ankle is not leather. It is a fabric coated with plastic that looks like leather, until it starts wearing, and then looks crummy.

Four stars because the workmanship seems shotty. Glue showing where seems are but very comfortable boot so far.

Love these easy to rush out in the morning work boots! They are comfortable, quick to put on, and waterproof.

Love these boots. True to size, not too heavy and easy to step right into. They look great and are very comfortable for wearing around the barn or going out to do errands. You just can't beat Ariat for making great wearing boots!

I am a big ariat fan. I wear ariat boots all day long working around horses. I decided to try the barnyard after a friend of mine got a pair. The right boot sticking tire out working 2 months and the leather on the right boot started peeling /!: cracking! I have worn ariat daily for more than 19 years and have never had anything happen like this. Very disappointed to spend this much and have it fall apart so quickly. You guys need to up your quality or your good name will fall apart!
