These are Awesome Boots!
I'd originally wanted the Ariat Coniston's but just couldn't justify paying that price so close to Xmas, I'd have felt guilty! At any rate I got these instead and they're a beautiful boot and fit true to size. I've ridden in them as well with no issues and they stick me to the saddle as well. I've not really tested them in high water so I can't say as to whether they're really waterproof or not. I do love them though they're beautiful and a very good Quality.

By far my favorite boots!
After having issues with other casual boots linings coming loose, I started looking for something different, and having larger than toothpick calves, that is a big undertaking! I found a pair of these used on a social media site and decided to try them as I had been looking at them for awhile! Best decision ever. Instantly comfortable, super supportive, they look good even when they are dusty from being at the barn all day! I can wear them to work, and I ride in them ALL THE TIME. I've recommended them to multiple people, and they all love them too. I'm planning on getting the other two colors available soon!

Warm and cute
If I tried these on in a store i would not have bought them. Very painful on the heel to get into. But walking in them for 5 minutes and I was in love. So comfortable. Be sure to weave the ends of the laces in or they get wren your leg and the saddle and scratch your saddle. So far have kept my feet toasty in NC winter.

Not enough to love
These were pleasing boots right out of the box. Gorgeous leather, lovely soft suede, and attractive fit. However, after a few wears, I am less than pleased. The zipper on the back of the heel collapses and rubs. I have tried several combinations of sock thickness and lace tightness, but still the zipper rubs. After about a week, the rubber is separating from the leather on the outside toe of the boot. For now they are still waterproof, but I question how long these boots will hold up. For the price point, I'd expect a better quality boot that will last a while. I did order a size up and they fit as I'd expect, although I wish there were 1/2 sizes. If you're on the fence about purchasing these, look elsewhere.

Awesome Boots!
I bought the low pull-on Ada boots and like them so much I decided to try these. They’re styled after Ariat boots, but at this price point I don't mind wearing them to the barn. Actually they’re nice enough to wear as street boots. They run a bit smaller than the Ada Mid Country boots. I usually wear 39s, but the seam in the Lace Up was pressing the top of my foot. I sized up and the 40s are perfect, with plenty of room for wool socks. I wore them all day without any issues, they didn’t require any break-in. I love the way they look. It’s hard to find country boots in black. Now I’m going to order the Tall Country Adas, and the Chelsea Boot as well. Smartpak really has a winner with their Adas!

Very Comfortable
There were no 1/2 sizes so I ordered what was equivalent to a US size 8, I am usually a size 7 1/2. I was very happy with the look and feel of the boots when I got. They broke in very easily during the first day I wore them. They were a little big in the foot, so I added a pair foot orthotics and now they fit great. Very happy with them so far and Will definitely buy another pair when needed.

Love them
I worr these boots for a weekend in Savanah despite being on cobblestone and going up and down stone stairs all weekend my feet were comfortable. I have ridden in both saddles and had no issues . Been to the barn and given them a quick brush off before going to town. Love the zipper. Think they will hold up well.

Great casual boots
I bought these to wear at my job over jeans and they are so comfy! Nice quality and great fit with the laces. I don't plan on riding in them but they do seem fairly sturdy for a quick hack.

Not my favorite
I wanted to like these boots, but I just feel just meh about them. They are a little tight and uncomfortable in the foot bed (another Ada boot in the same size fits fine). The way the calf is shaped looks funny on me, and even with the laces tight it still bulges in the back. I thought the quality of the leather was just ok. My friend has these boots and loves them, they just aren't right for me.

Couldn't get a good fit
I really wanted to love these boots! They sent to be of excellent quality and workmanship. Unfortunately, the size 38 was too tight and the size 39 way too big. I wear a 8.5. The returns and exchanges were easy and fast.

Lasted almost 3 years!!
I've had these boots for almost three years and they have withstood every condition I have put them through! I ride in them three to four days a week and also wear them when I'm doing stuff around the barn. They are so comfy and keep my feet warm during the cold show mornings. Highly recommended for a casual riding boot and work boot.

Nice Barn Boot
I bought these for my barn boots to replace my dublin river boots. I LOVE the river boots but the lining *always* rips out of my right boot and it's just annoying. These are full zip so no lining issue there. So far they are quite comfortable albeit they are a bit big in the foot area. The lacing makes the calf adjustable and they fit more like a riding boot than a barn boot. I got stuck in a flooded parking lot last night and they didn't leak in 4 inches of rainwater so that's a perk! I think they are really nice -- but I don't get compliments on them like I do my river boots. I suspect they just blend in more. I can't speak to durability but I'm hopeful!

Liove these boots!
I bought these a year and a half ago. I have skinny calves, and the laces gave me a snug fit. I wear them EVERY DAY...sometimes riding 4 or 5 horse, plus teaching lessons and barn chores. They've held up well to some serious abuse. I've finally notices a small hole near the sole, so I guess I'll be ordering another pair.

Love these boots!
I got these boots to avoid getting shavings all inside my shoes while I clean stalls. Not only are they super cute, but they’re really comfortable! They did take a bit to break in for me, so I had to cover my heels to prevent blisters for the first week. But I really love them now and I wear them daily!

Too large in the ankle area.
I never wore these boots, but to try them on twice in my house. The soles seemed comfortable, and they were nice looking boots, but they were ill fitting in the ankle area. Even with the lacing in front, and before they had stretched with wear, they were too large in the ankle are for me, and I do not have small legs. It became obvious to me, that after a few rides, the issue would have gotten worse, and I was forced to return them, new.

These boots are perfect!
I just got these and I love them! They’re perfect for someone with long legs and a wider calf. However, I typically wear a size 10 and I ordered a 42 and they fit perfectly, so they seem to run a little small. So far, they’re wonderful and I really hope they hold up to farm life!

Very comfortable.
This is the 2nd pair purchased. Excellent thick soles. A bit warm for summertime - (wear thinner socks). Keeps your feet dry.

Comfortable and practical.
Versatile boots, great for riding, working, and going to town. Had a challenge with the sizing, the European "9" was an unsuitable "8.5" so I exchanged for a "10", which is a little large. Fixed that with an extra set of insoles, and was good to go. They really needed half sizes!

Amazing boots
I am so happy I found these boots, I have been looking for awhile and came across these. I wore them for the first time yesterday and immediately got compliments, they were so comfortable and did not require any break in. I can tell that these are going to become a staple in my riding wardrobe. They are beautiful and good quality for the value.

I love these boots so much!
I received these boots for Christmas 2020. I am pretty sure they are the only shoes I have worn since. I even had a co-worker ask if I was ever going to wear a different pair of shoes again! So I have the brown (saving my pennies for the black). I asked for and received a size 7. I am usually a 6.5 or a 7 depending on the brand. The 7 is large. I really should have exchanged them for the 6.5 but I really wanted to start wearing them immediately and could not be bothered. It just makes them great for floofy socks. I have pretty much tightened the laces as tight as they will go all the way up, but I love that I could go in and adjust them if needed. I am mostly wearing them with jeans and leggings...I have not tried riding in them, nor do I think I will. They have also served me well taking my dogs for walks in the CT snow this year. My feet came back into the house happy, dry and warm, and a little bit of conditioner takes puppy nail scratches right out. I really cannot speak more highly of these boots!

Loving these!!
I bought these because I live in my hunters and they split within the first 3 months I had them and they aren’t overly comfortable for long periods and are not made for riding. I figured if I’m going to drop $$$ for barn boots they should last longer, fit, be comfortable and look good! I’ve had my eye on the ariat version of these but holy cats that is a lot of horse feed! Enter the Ada. Love these so far! Completely adjustable, easy to get on and off, look good and keep my feet dry and fairly warm! They aren’t insulated per se but there is a soft comfy lining that provides some insulation. I did spray them with camp-dry to up the waterproof factor and so far I’ve slopped around in deep mud, water and snow and my feet were dry! Since I’ve only had them a few months I cannot attest to the durability but so far I’m impressed and will definitely buy again!!!!

Warm, comfy & stylish!
I've had these for about a month, bought in the midst of cold CT winter ... I absolutely love them and am going to get the brown ones as well. I have Dubarry's which are 3x the cost and no where near as comfortable and warm. These Ada boots are the BEST!!!

Love these boots!
They are warm and comfortable right out of the box. I bought them for wearing to ride in cold weather but wanted the soft inside leg. These are perfect! Soft, warm and the height is perfect as well. I’m 5’7” and they come to the top of my leg.

So comfortable and functional
I purchased these as I have big calves and often can’t fix into tall boots. These fit my 16 inch calves easily. They are very comfortable. I wear them for barn chores and ride in them. For the price, these boots are top notch! I would rather buy two of these than spend the same money on more expensive boots.
