Amazingly comfortable
I have horribly sensitive feet and these boots felt broken in since day one. There's so much support during riding and these are super comfortable for hiking/walking.

I waited a year to order this pair — this is my second pair of Anthem Shortie 8C boots I’ve purchased in the past few months. I’ve worn the Anthem Shortie 8C for years, and they’ve always been the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned.
However, the last two pairs do not feel like a true wide fit. The first pair caused pain in my foot and back, and the replacement pair felt exactly the same. It seems the sizing or fit may have changed from previous versions.

Love my first Ariat Boots
Beautiful Shorty boots, just the right height for my 5 foot five height. Beautiful stitching and beautiful brown color. Seems to run a little big, but love the large toe box. Love how even the shank of the boot is padded and can't wait to just wash them down when they get muddy. My first pair of Ariat and I'm very pleased so far.

Great work boots
This is my second time buying these boots for work. They lasted me an entire year unlike boots I have previously purchased. They break in fast and fit great and are truly water proof which is very important to me.

Comfortable!
They are very comfortable, but the stitching along the top is already starting to come out after about a week of wearing them.

Just What I wanted
They’re great! I got them for yard work and the chicken coop. They’re comfy and cute and the waterproof part is awesome.

The perfect treat for my feet!
I've been wanting a pair of Ariats for the longest! I like the shorter style and these are perfect- I snagged the black ones as well!
