Men’s Groundbreaker Pull On Work Boot

They are Ariat. Enough said. My last pair of Ariat boots lasted 21 years. I expect these will, too. Sturdy, comfortable, perfect fit for my 12EE feet. These became my daily footwear as soon as I tried them on. Good thick slip-resistant sole, and very nice boot for work or just because you prefer to wear boots. Highly recommend!

Exactly what my husband wanted. Good quality. Perfect color. Very comfortable.

These Ariat Groundbreakers are very comfortable, however I did have to go through 3 sizes before finding my fit in this boot. For reference, I normally wear a 10.5 in New Balance, 10-10.5 in Asics, 9-9.5 in dress shoes (Cole Haans), 42-43 European size in Lem's barefoot shoes. I used to wear a 9.5 in Timberland work boots, they were steel-toe waterproof Titans. I've been looking to try out some Ariats, and although these are towards the economy line as Ariats go, they have not disappointed. Pros: *nice color and quality of leather and welt *comfortable insole although if you have high arches like I do you may want a more supportive replacement but this would be true in any western-style work boot *non-slip electrical hazard rated outer sole, also non-marking Cons: *not waterproof (I knew this when ordering and they breathe better, but if you're looking for waterproof this is not the model for you) *not steel-toed (again, I knew this and was looking for soft-toe boots, but if you are working in an industrial area make sure you look for the steel-toed groundbreakers) As for the fit, I returned 10.5 and 10 sizes for being too big before settling on 9.5. This size allowed some slipage in the heel as is necessary in a good fitting pull-on work boot. The top of the foot was a little looser than I would want at first, but as the leather has been breaking in over the last few weeks they have settled down on and around my foot and calf, and as the sole has become more flexible the heel has also settled in as well. Overall they are breaking in nicely. I wear two types of socks for work, summer I wear thinner boot socks, and with these socks the boots are slightly looser. With Merino wool gold-toe boot socks for winter they are slightly snug. I have experienced a slight toe pinch when crouching which usually means the last is too big, so I might have been able to get away with a size 9, but I wanted to leave plenty of room for the wool socks when winter comes. If your preference is tighter boots that break and stretch to your feet you may start at a size down from street shoe size then go down another half size to get that real snug feel. For most people though, I expect 1 full size down will be a good starting point for sizing these boots. As far as the styling, they are understated and simple which I like, and the calf is roomy for me and I have regular calf muscles, but if you are thinner than me you might find that part a little bit. I think anyone who has thick legs would fit and not find them too narrow. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and recommend these boots to anyone looking for a good-quality understated pull-on work boot.

These are my first what I would consider real boots. I choose them because of the rating and the cost and the construction. I work a hobby farm and put everything I own to the test. These fit true to size. I typically don't wear socks, but have room to wear a good work sock in them. Either my right foot is slightly bigger or the right boot is cut slightly smaller as its snug getting past the ankle portion of the boot. I did put boot grease on them to help water proof them. It did darken the leather and hide the stitches design on the upper part of the boot. My feet are picky and will let me know if they are uncomfortable. My feet have not complained yet and I have worn them well just over a week. The sole is a bit hard and not aggressive enough to my liking as the ground can be a bit slick at times, but it is tolerable for sure. The first two picks are of one boot greased and the other not. The other after a weeks wear. Updated: 10/2/17 Well after just over a year the sole is separating from the toe box on the left boot. Typically I don't think this to be normal and I have an email into the company to see. However, I am extremely hard on all my stuff, including these boots, so I can not complain. They cost 100 dollars, so if they all last one year, as hard as I use them, I am good with that. They get wet, muddy, sweaty, and beat up all the way around. I did treat them when I purchased them and they have kept my feet dry with two treatments a couple months apart. I just ordered my replacement pair, this time with s square toe. ;) These have been the most comfort of all my footware I own and I am on my feet most the day.

I am SO happy with my new ARIAT groundbreaker cowboy boot styled work boot / shoes! i pulled em on, and in about 15 seconds i became a diehard fan of this company. so, i am not actually using these boots for ANY type of work. these are going to be dress up shoes for me. i never wear actual shoes. but i love WORK style boots. there are lots of companys that produce great boots and shoes, you should know that this company is amongst the best for a reason. it's definitely not hype. i was a little surprised at the overal height. for some reason i figured they would be higher. however, i am not an expert on western style boots so.... actually...this is my 1st pair of western styled boots in over 20 years. i am lovin' the idea of no laces to tie up! you should know these boots are NOT steel toe or composite toe. just very comfortable. i usally wear sized 8 shoes / sneakers... i have wider type feet so i lucked out when i saw size 7.5 wides available. fit so well. geeze...i could talk about how great these boots are all day long! ill spare you that however... ARIAT makes super high quality boots and thats really not a secret. i would advise you to look at photos before purchasing, outstanding! im already looking forward to my next pair! these boots are a little bit country...a little bit rock & roll! THANK YOU ARIAT! Ryan from NY

Boot fell apart within 2 weeks of wearing them. The sole has become separated from the boot itself. I had another pair of Ariates for 3 years and had no issues with those. These are my every day work boots so very disappointing

Excellent boots. Wore them to work and casually. Very comfy. Decent grip even in icy weather. They develop an oiled patina around the creased parts but look great. This is what a good boot should be - hard to find these days.

Materiales excelentes

Je les porte pour travailler quotidiennement. À noter que ces bottes ne sont pas équipés d'une protection pour les orteils et dans mon cas j'ai dû prendre une pointure plus grande afin qu'elle ne soit pas trop serré avec des bons bas

Calidad Excelente. PERO Pedí talla 27 y no me quedó cambie a 26 y las mejores botas incluso mejor que Red Wing

Buen producto
