Fatbaby Western Chelsea Boot (Women)

I’ve had these boots for 2 years now. I LOVE them. I loved them from the very beginning. The reason I can’t give a 5 star review is due to the putter sole of the shoe. After having them for as long as I have, and wearing them quite a bit, the sore has worn away significantly to the point there is no more tread, and the heel of the boot is almost level with the rest of the shoe. I am ordering another pair since I slip very easily on wet floors but will likely bring them to a cobbler to get another sole put on to try to get them to last longer.

Love these boots fatbabys are always my go to. Chelsea boots have never really fit my foot because of my high arch and instep. The collar of the boots on other brands is so narrow I can’t even get my foot in them. All the Ariat chelsea boots I’ve tried glide on no problem. I wear a 9b these are true to size for me. As with any new boots a bit of a break in period but the leather will form to my feet all in good time.

Perfect sturdy waterproof boot to wear at the horse barn. They protect my feet, were available in wide (I’ve never needed to buy wide shoes but I’m 46 and now that seems like something that makes all day wear more comfortable for me). I usually need to put better insoles in my all day wear shoes but these didn’t need them to be comfortable. They’re cute on and could go with any fall/winter outfit. I do have to wear a taller sock since the top is a little stiff still (3 months later) but that’s not even a ‘con’ for me. They are easy to get on and off. They look new even after grooming and bathing 50+ horses and when it’s muddy out, they hose right off! I would purchase again!

I think these are not for every leg These hit top of the ankle and the look is not good. Movement causes them to dig in. Not because of the size of my ankle as much as the location on my leg and the stiffness of the boot. I felt they were heavier than expected. It felt like I was wearing my fathers shoes.
