ARIAT womens Terrain Waterproof BootHiking Boot

Great boots! They are super cute, very comfortable, durable and true to size.

These are my second pair in this style, the other styles don’t feel the same ( to me) I love the fit, they are lightweight, durable - they have seen me through rain, sleet ,snow and uneven terrain. They do not require a break in period. They are good to go right out of the box. I wear them just about every day. It’s the kind of shoe you hope they don’t stop manufacturing with the same quality materials and oversight.

This is my second pair of Ariat boots. I wore the first pair out so had to purchase these. The fit and were comfortable right out of the box. Everything about these boots screamed "quality" and the fit is no different. I was worried that they would be too hot but they're not! They are waterproof and if the last pair are any indication, durable enough to wear daily and walk on hard surfaces all day. The soles are rubber, similar to a sneaker-type material. They are very shock-absorbent, which is important to me due to multiple back surgeries. They are stable and keep my balance perfectly.

Very pleased. I tried about 10 pairs of hiking boots/shoes and these far surpassed in quality and comfort. My feet felt "hugged" and supported the second I put these on. We do lots of rugged hiking (wettness and sand) so I appreciated the waterproof feature. I tested that by walking through deep puddles (feet stayed dry!) They broke in beautifully after wearing them on a couple walks. They don't look like they have great grip by looking at them but they actually had better grip than the more"spiky" bottomed Columbia's I tested. The longer the rubber spokes on the sole, the farther they bend and slide. The Ariats also have small grooves on the bottom so you don't have to dig big rocks out. They are waterproof so they are warmer than the ventilated type of shoe. Also I'm a 7.5 and traded the 38 (was a bit roomy) for the 37. My husband purchased the same boots for himself before we did the Half Dome hike in Yosemite National Park, a 16.5 mile, strenuous hike up steep slopes, by raging waterfalls, and through sandy flats. At the end of the 12 hour hike, our feet (and socks) were perfectly clean and dry. I had a blister on the back of each heel from all the steep inclines ( but I have knobby heals so no surprise there, there was no blistering during NORMAL all day wear) and my husband had one blister on a pinky toe. Our feet did NOT feel sore and achy! The boots were caked in sand so i cleaned and moisturized with Leather CPR because with all leather products, a little tlc once in a while and they'll be a lasting investment. *it should be noted that my husband suffered a bad ankle sprain 3 weeks before our hike. Wearing these boots along with taping his ankle, he made it the whole way with little discomfort!

Love these boots, super cute with the cow print. Fit is perfect and toe box has plenty of room, very comfortable. Light weight and a quality made boot. Worth every penny!

Ive had these for about a year now. I bought them for work book while doing some renovations and yard work but they quickly became my favorite shoe. Now that I have beat up the others to be well worn I want a new pair for my "nice" shoe to wear daily. Love these shoes.

I’ve been trying to find boots of this quality and I’m excited that I finally did! I love the leather it’s comfortable not too stiff They are waterproof their stylish they fit my orthotics too. I also love that around the ankle. It is entire in the front in the back. It’s more even so you can flex your foot well and the leather on the front of the Foot where the laces are can be brought pretty close together most boots today leave a huge amount of lace in the front which water gets in, but not on these. I wanted rubber soles, these are but they do not have a lot of give in the bounce so they feel heavy. Wish they could be this sturdy but not so heavy. I’m keeping them maybe I’ll get used to the weight.

Super shoe! I am the queen of blisters, after 3-4 hour hikes I go home with tons of blisters, some bleeding with skin rubbed off and some with trapped blood underneath, calluses with blood trapped underneath, black toes (long middle toes and big toes with tendency for ingrown nails), and I have flat feet. Sorry for the TMI back there but if you hike for long hours you will know what I am talking about. I hike in the Badlands trails in North Dakota and I don't know how they compare to trails elsewhere, but I can tell you that these trails are not easy and mild according to their description. I got a small scratch on the shoe after the first wear because I hit a sharp rock as I was climbing up. These shoes did not need breaking in, I received them 2 days before I went on a 6 hour hike, I wore them around the house for a few minutes to make sure I got the right size. They are wide enough that my toes do not get squished even after I finished the hike, the front is hard where my toes do not feel the bumps I encounter, going downhill my middle toes got a few bumps but no black nails afterwards (this is also makes me wonder if next time I should get another half size up). The lace are comfortable to tie and don't untie constantly while you walk, traction is good, I felt I was gripping the ground with my feet which gave me much freedom climbing up and down. Arch support is great and I only started trying insoles with arch support a week before I got these shoes but they were very comfortable. They are not heavy. I felt like I was wearing shoes with heels when I walked at the beginning since the sole is thick, and boy was I grateful for that thickness, the trail I did was full of rocks and hard grass and I was in full control. The edges are not raised much so if you are into ankle support you may not like these, but they were comfortable for me and were high enough but low enough for freedom of movement. The color is the typical brown. I usually wear 2 pairs of socks and put tape on all the areas where I tend to get blisters on. After the 6 hour hike I was still able to walk like a normal person, 3 blisters only but not major bloody ones. I would buy these shoes again but may go another half size up out of curiosity of how they would fit.
