Great paddock boots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] True to size. Lightweight, very comfortable. No ties, zippers or buckle to mess with. They are different from every other paddock boot I have had, too a chance on them and it was well worth it. Love em!

I love them but they fell apart quickly
These are by far my favorite pair of paddock boots to date. SUPER light, extremely comfortable, easy to clean, great fit...but they fell a part within the first year of owning them :( I wish I could give them 5 stars! I would recommend, but be ready to buy often.

Not for me.
Ordered because my "go to" boot was out of stock. Very difficult to put on and take off (if the loop breaks off the back from my excessive tugging there will be no hope), not what I was expecting. I did like that they are fairly waterproof and will keep them to use when I have to give baths and/or trudge through the mud but will have to return to traditional paddock boots.

Not a fan of pull-on
I just got these because I can't wear normal boots due to a metal plate in my lower leg. It doesn't bother my leg, which is great, but I really hate the pull-on! On top of being a pain to get on, the fit isn't great and I can't do anything to adjust it. The upper side of the foot is too tight and then the back stretches away from my Achilles when I flex my heel. I really wish it had laces like a traditional paddock boot so I could adjust the fit. I don't have any other options, so I'm going to try half a size bigger to see if that fits the top of my foot better.

So disappointed
I bought these over a year ago but have been wearing them for just over 8 months. I really wanted to like them. For the first few days I had to wear a bandaid to protect my heal from getting a blister. They 'broke in' quickly and I was quite pleased at how comfortable they were - once they were on! They are VERY difficult to get on! If they had a zipper or more elastic that would have taken care of it. As it was, every day I struggled and it didn't get any easier. The final straw for me was the fact that they are coming apart!! The sole is coming off the shoe. It started in the rear, which made sense to me considering how hard I had to pull to get them on. But, it has now started happening everywhere on the shoe, even where there is no pressure from putting them on. The slightest amount of water seeps right in and I can't wear them anymore because it seems that any time soon they are going to come completely apart. i am disappointed because I do like the style, comfort and material of these shoes and had hoped I had found a good dependable paddock boot.

Runs very small
I was super excited to try these paddock boots as I have been a long time wearer of the V sport paddock boots that are discontinued. These boots are just as comfortable and even lighter than those… But they run very small and rather narrow. I am a trainer on my feet or on a horse in my boots 8+ hours a day. I am consistently a size 10 in all of my Ariat boots for over a decade, these fit quite narrow to my not wide at all feet. I ended up getting such a painful blister on both of my heels. They’ve been in the closet since. Very comfortable boot, but go up a size!

Won’t even last a year
Bought these boots with the hopes that they would be the quality and durability I was looking for. Wanted something I could ride in and wash my horse in. They seemed great at first, and comfortable, but not even a year later the soles are detaching and the leather is peeling off. My feet get soaked when any water hits them. Looks like I’ll be in the market for another pair of boots, not even a year later.

Durable and comfortable
The boots are great for riding! Very comfortable and allows for good stirrup feel. Easy to wash and clean. The only things that I don't consider 5 stars are that they are kind of a pain to put on, really have to shove it in there. And they squeak...a lot. True to size.

Great Concept, Needs Improvement
I've worn Ariat boots for over 30 years and I wasn't impressed with these. They are very comfortable, true to size and easy to put on however, they started coming apart after just a few months of regular use. The sole was separating at the toe. I also found that these have no temperature regulation whatsoever. If it's hot out, my feet are hot. If it's cold out, they're cold. I like the concept but the design needs improvement.

Amazing
I bought this a while ago and when I received them I was over the moon. They are so comfortable. I bought these a size up as I thought they would be tight, but they weren’t.

I’ve always been ariat fan but if the last few years their product has gone down the drain I thought I’d give these new boots to try and wear them for one day And I totally fell apart Such a shame they had a good product years ago

Falling Apart
I have had these boots for 6 months and they are completely falling apart. The sole has come detached and the rubber on the heel is crumbling off. Very disappointed.

Versatile and Comfortable!
Bought these a few months ago and have since worn them nearly every single day to both work and the barn. They've been through mud, getting soaked in horse baths, and general barn use and they've held up amazingly. You do have to break them in, but once you've done so, they're incredibly comfortable. I work in a tack shop and will do feed, ride, hose off and then go straight from the barn to work without having to change shoes. They clean incredibly easily and I 100% recommend them to everyone who asks (and I've had a ton of people ask).

So disappointed.
While I love the look, I was leery that there was no zipper in front or behind. I could not get these boots on...no way. I noticed in your video that you zoooooom over the model "slipping" the boot on. How long did it take you to find someone that the boot fit? Please don't leave a standard response. If you really are sorry that this happened, please design the same boot with a zipper. I'm returning these. BTW, I have owned Ariat paddock boots, field boots and show boots for over 30 years with no problems. What happened?

Love love love
I work with horses 6 hrs daily 6 days a week, not very good about changing into riding boots just for riding and back to paddock boots for chores and these boots are the best! They last me all day, support me and are great to ride in. 8 months later they are beaten up but still going and tight fitting. It’s like wearing a comfy pair of sneakers that you can ride in too

How Did I Go So Long Without These?
I absolutely LOVE these boots! The comfort is incredible. O can see why a person woth a high arch may have a problem getting them on, but that wasn’t a problem for me.

Love the look and feel-but some improvement needed
These boots are what you get if athletic shoes and paddock boots had a baby! So much to love-cushioning, styling, comfortable to wear all day so they get a big thumbs up from me. They do, however, run narrow and a bit small which works fine for me because I have narrow feet and I sized up. What really needs improvement is how you get these on. Even with narrow feet I have to struggle to get these on and off. This could easily be fixed by installing a zipper (pretty please Ariat) which I think would make them doable for a lot more people. If you have even slightly wide feet or high arches, I don’t think these will work for you. If you have narrow feet like me, look no further for a boot that is stylish, comfortable and can go from the barn to the town looking and feeling great!

Extremely comfortable
Love these boots! Best, most comfortable paddock boots I have ever owned. I went up half a size and they fit perfect. I will be buying more in the future.

Very comfortable paddock boots
I saw these paddock boots on ariat website and I felt in love with them immediatelly. Even if my usual horse tack dealer do not sell them, I asked him to order it extra for me. My intuition was right. I received them 2 weeks ago and it was the first time ever I put on new paddock boots and felt immediatelly very cosy in it, no need to get used to them as usual. Boots are very comfortable, well breathable, very light but still they gives you a good support of feet. Great for riding and all stable work. I bought my standard side (UK 6/EU 39) and it fit very well. I will test it for some time and if my satisfaction last, I plan to buy also the tall Ascent boots.

Too hard to get on and off
I was so excited to get these today, I went right in to try them on. It literally took fifteen minutes to get them on! That is after I abandoned the idea of wearing socks. Once on, the fit was great and I was convincing myself I could find the extra fifteen minutes somewhere, and spray them regularly since I wouldn't be able to wear socks. Then I tried to take them off! After about 12 minutes, I had a little panic, what if I have to cut them off? Then I can't return them? 27 minutes it took to work my feet out of these boots! I am an easy to fit size 7, worn Wrist boots for 20 years without any problems! Who are these made for?

I want to love them but for slimmer feet
I orderd both the tall boots and the paddock boots plus chaps but the paddocks boots were to tight over my foot. Inside nice but the top of my foot hurt. So maybe if you are slim they will fit. Inside of paddock boot felt great in size 39 and I am 39. I kept the tall boots in 40 1,5 size to big but wanted them this week so kept them and they are very comfy can’t tell I am wearing a shoe can’t feel the tall boots are on! Great new invention for athletes love the tall boots! When the paddock boots come with a less tight knit and or a zipper I will buy them too!! For slimmer feets the paddock boots will fit very comfy! I would love if you can make the paddock boots in a model they don’t push on the top of the foot, maybe a less tight knit fabric! I would buy them instantly! Or a sipper. It’s just that the knit stops my blood flowing and it hurts. The inside needs no change they are very comfy it’s just over the foot under the knit that hurts. Would buy them if the knit was looser! Also the chaps fits great no problem with them!!

Super comfy Paddock boot and half chap combo!
Just got the Ascent paddock boots and half chaps and rode in them for the first time. LOVE them! Snug and secure fit, very lightweight, and low maintenance material. I will say the slip on design might not work for everyone. My friend has a high arch and was very uncomfortable in the paddock boot. I'm a 9.5 and have always worn a 9 in Ariat because they run big but I ordered these in a 9.5 (because of the slip on aspect) and they fit perfect. Will be curious to see how these hold up over time.

Comfy but not for a rider that does more than ride
I bought these paddock boots about a month ago and they are super comfy but I have a lot of horses to work and I don’t always have time to change shoes when I have to rinse and horse off before getting on another horse and they get wet and now they smell really bad and I tried washing in vinegar but I can’t get the smell out. I leave them outside now because of it. I haven’t had this problem with any other paddock boot. I’m bummed because I really like the streamline fit but I think I’m going to trash them and just go back to a regular paddock boot

Comfortable and cute
My Ariat Nitro H20s were looking worn out, so I got these as a replacement. Super cute as a walking shoe with leggings and midi skirts as well as a light and comfortable riding boot. I walked five miles straight out of the box, very comfortable. Some people say they are hard to take on and off. I have narrow feet, so this is not an issue. And they are wide enough in the forefoot to accommodate a bunion, so for me they are perfect: comfy, stylish and practical.

I bought these boot for my daughter and she. Loves them. Comfortable and once your foot is in the stirrups they don’t move. She hasn’t had them long so I’m not sure how they will hold up over time.

Best paddock boot ever
This shoe is so comfortable. I am glad that the riding industry is finally looking into modernizing their shoes, comparable to the running industry. No need for hard soles that kill your feet. In these you float and can walk for miles
