Ariat Men's Groundbreaker Wide Square Toe Work Boots

I have written these boots for many hours of digging. My feet thank me for the purchase. The thick sole is much better suited than tennis shoes. They look really nice too 😁. I have used these for a combined time of 15+ hours, moving about 3k gallons of dirt. After every 2 or 3 uses, I spray them with the hose before taking them off. I have not felt any moisture get through, I felt the cool temperature after a couple minutes of spraying them off.

I used to only buy red wing tie up steel toe boots but after a welder/fabricator at work told me these are the most comfortable and longest lasting work boots he wears I decided to buy them after my red wings had holes and leaked and needed to be replaced. I am from the city and moved to the county and married a country girl from the south so I honestly felt out of place wearing cowboy boots at first. I would only wear them tucked inside my jeans. After I broke them in I found them to be the most comfortable and longest lasting foot wear I own and at a much lower price than red wing boots. I own chickens and have a river, pound, and land. Now I wear these boots outside my jeans and understand the purpose of cowboy boots. My jeans last much longer and my pants dint get wet and muddy when I am working outside. I don’t care what people think when they see the city boy from the north wearing these boots. Now I am thinking I may have to consider wearing a cowboy hat in the yard to help avoid burning or having to apply sun screen or getting my face wet in the rain.

These boots are extremely comfortable right out of the box and have held up great with daily work. I’m on my feet a lot, and they provide solid support without causing fatigue. The build quality is impressive—very durable and clearly made to last in tough conditions. On top of that, they’re priced right for what you get. Overall, a reliable, hardworking boot that I’d definitely recommend.

Boots are very comfortable. I bought these to replace a pair that had lasted longer than ANY OTHER WORK BOOT that I've owned. Having said that, the older boots were 10+ years old and I couldn't find them again. So, each time I searched up the old product number, these showed up> so I gave em a try. First impression: they may last through winter (but I'll update in spring). The materials appear to ALL be man-made / processed leather (which makes sense with the previous reviewer who showed sole delimiting). I ordered normal width but "EE's" showed up> maybe I no longer understand widths...? Suffice it to say, I like the way they feel, the insole wants to follow your footon the way out of the boot (poor quality / workmanship) and the "leather" materials appear to be 100% processed or man-made. The term "100% leather" seems a tad misleading and when I ordered a normal width but got EE's... that seems odd. These boots will probably end up too big once I wear them more. Time will tell. More to follow! A couple weeks in and they feel like slippers> that means in a year, they'll be like sloppy rubber boots. I hope I'm wrong! July 2023 update: I abuse these boots in the regular. I'm happy to say they did not stretch out or become sloppy. I am seeing some desalination in the sole as expected. But get this> I ride my motorcycle in them, I work cattle in them, I change irrigation with them on, they have been completely submerged several times and they keep water out REALLY REALLY WELL. Comfort: THEY'RE STILL VERY COMFY. I will buy another pair in knowing that they're only good for about a year. I doubt they'll make it to winter. More to follow!

Good fit

Durability: So far, these boots are holding up great. The tread grips well in muddy job site conditions, and they’ve been extremely water-resistant even after long days in wet environments. I expect them to last. Wearability: They run a bit snug out of the box—especially if you wear thick socks—but they’ve been gradually breaking in. Just something to note for all-day wear. Style: Clean and simple design. They look good for both the job site and casual wear, but don’t expect them to stay sharp-looking if you're around drywall dust daily. Stiffness: There's a bit of stiffness at first, which is expected for work boots. They're supportive without feeling like bricks on your feet. Leather Quality: The leather feels solid, but it does dull out quickly—most likely because I’m in and out of drywall-heavy areas, which tends to suck the moisture right out. A little-used motor oil helps. Scuff Resistance: They’ve picked up some wear marks, but nothing unexpected. The uppers are still holding shape.

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.

These were a replacement for the 1st pair I bought. So I went to tractor supply and sized these. I wear an 11 in everything else but in Doc Martens and Ariats I always go 1 full size down. I first ordered these in a 10 and they were 1inch too long so these were the replacements in size 9.5. I'm frustrated because the size 10s came in an Ariat box and we're packaged very well. These replacement 9.5s were in a generic box with no protection. They arrived very scuffed up. But Ok I could deal with that but the deal breaker is the right boot. The left fits perfectly but the right feels like a torture camp. No really, it's pain from the start, I left them on for an hour and after 5 mins I could feel my heart best in my foot. Now I can't feel anything. This right boot has to be a factory defect, it's bumpy and in no way has the shape of a foot, more like a hoof. And lastly the boot leather don't look remotely the same. The 10s are a deeper brown and much softer. The 9.5s are lighter brown, and very stiff. This could be a result in the amount of mink oil they used during shipping. I'm going to stick with the 10s and leave it as is 1 full size smaller and the crazy thing is my toes are in the exact same place. Ordering another side down didn't change the length only the feel. 1 full size down feels like a looser more comfortable causal feel. The 9.5s feel like tight torture devices.

Todo muy bien la medida el color lo que estas viendo eso te llega

A mí esposo le encantaron y me diste q están súper cómodas el es 8.5 en México y así las pedimos y le quedaron súper bien la verdad están muy padres nos encantaron!!!!

Fantastic horse work boot with great looks to go with them

Really good quality, would definitely buy again. I had the pointy toed style for years from a Canadian brand and they were brutal to wear. Ariat is ridiculously comfortable. I would probably only go with ariat in the future. These boots in particular are a little wider around the legs than I’m used to but I can still wear a “straight leg” Jean over them fine.

This is the first pair of ariat’s i’ve owned. Got them on sale and i thought they’d be just another generic boot. Man was i wrong, i work 12 hour overnight shifts, 60 hour weeks at least 15,000 steps and these have to be the most comfortable and flexible boot i’ve owned. Well worth the price, especially if you can get them on sale. Nothing but positive feedback from this side, and they’re going on 6 months. Hoping to still get another couple months to a year out of them.
