Ariat Males’s Groundbreaker Huge Sq. Toe Work Boot

These are my second pair
My second pair of these, use these for work, get a year or two out of them. Only downside is that the material at the heel area wears out and frays after a year. Comfort and fit is good.

My New Shoe Review- Crap Shoot
I read all the reviews and as usual, eliminated 50% of the bad reviews. I want to like these, I ordered the usual size I wear; 12W(EE). For me, I tried them with my normal “thick” socks, NO way I could get them on! Tried them with thin dress socks…. and with all my might, I got them on. Once on, they felt a bit small in the instep, arch/ top of foot- see my second picture. I have a high instep and they felt OK once on, but a bit on the tight side- as do some lace-up shoes do when new. I tried them both around the house for an hour or so and felt as if they were going to stretch out.At first glance, I thought as many other reviewers complained about that they would be too big. For me, with boots, I want them to stretch to fit due to the fact that there are no laces to tighten. But I want them to be easier to put on than they were.I will try my old trusty wooden shoe stretchers for a day or so to see if they loosen up in ‘my’ problem spot.Other fitment areas: toebox is adequate, heel slide is ok to large. All in all, I have only purchased a few pairs of shoes online and am learning that it is often a crap shoot!Amazon was late on delivering these to me, 9 days is not what I am conditioned for here!

Beyond pleased!
I’ve been considering buying square toe cowboy-style work boots for a while as I love the style and wanted something for every day wear out and about (not for a work site). I considered these and another brand on Amazon and after reading countless reviews, figured I needed to take the leap and get them. The price was right (less than $100). Numerous reviews said these boots run 1/2 to 1 full size large, which was one of the biggest things that held me back from purchasing initially. My feet tend to run a men’s size DM11 (normal width) in Salomon, Adidas, Asics, etc. I figured I should err on the side of 1 full size down, so I ordered DM10.Once they arrived, I found them to fit very snug around the arch and top of my foot (which one reviewer described as “giving your arch a firm handshake”, which supposedly is how they’re supposed to fit). This wasn’t uncomfortable, per se, but I figured once the boots broke in, they’d fit about as perfectly as one could hope for. I wore them around for a couple of days, and LITERALLY, couldn’t be more pleased with these boots! They’re incredibly comfortable to walk and stand in for extended periods of time. They look absolutely fantastic! To say it simply, I’m thrilled with this purchase. I care for my clothing and footwear, and expect these to last a good long time.

WERE USED AND IN NOT ORIGINAL PACKAGING
the first time I ordered these boots I received a brand new box and the correct size (9.5 men) but ran big so I had to exchange them for a smaller size. So I returned it and waited two weeks for my refund. Once I received the refund I placed another order with a smaller size (9 men). When the boots arrived, they were not in the same box that the first ones arrived in, it was just a cardboard box and didn’t have the artist logo like the first ones box. I then noticed I was sent a size 7 in men when I ordered a 9 in men. And the boots also look used! Now here I am about to return then for the second time and wait another two weeks to receive the refund and attempt to reorder. SMH
