Lug Sole Chelsea Boot

Bought these instead of Blundstones as I have larger feet and kept reading about the "breaking in" period with them. Brought them on a two week trip to Scotland and wound up wearing them every day, sometimes putting 10 miles a day on them. Hiking, water, cobblestone streets were no match for them! Then wore then on a trip to New Orleans, and they were still more comfortable than my sneakers. And best of all - no breaking in period of uncomfortable wear!

This is the 2nd pair of these fatbaby booties I have purchased. I wore the first pair almost daily until I needed a replacement pair. I’m very happy I could still purchase the same ones again. They are very comfortable and supportive. I have trouble with plantar fasciitis and these keep me from fully developing back into those issues. I also previously owned another pair of Ariat Chelsea booties with a regular round toe & found that the fatbaby toe shape is much more comfortable for me.

I bought a pair of these boots 5 months ago, with high expectations for them as I trusted ariat as a boot brand. these boots are so cute and I love that they come in a wider size option. They are still a little big snug in the width. However, I wear them to work almost everyday, and they are falling apart from the inside. The insoles have peeled completely up, leaving my shoes with no cushioning. A bit disappointed in the lack of longevity of these boots.

These boots are perfect--go with everything, insanely comfortable with a wide toe, and well-made. I have had mine for three years and worn them hard and I'm just about ready for a new pair. I have recommended them to SO many outdoor people to rave reviews from all. They no longer make the southwestern-y print on the gore, which makes me a little sad ):
