Every day wearI normally purchase Thorogood , Chippewa and other U.S. made boots for daily wear outside and while walking and hiking. Sadly, there is no such thing as a 90 dollar pair of American made boots. I have several hammer toes on each foot and need a wide toe box. I was looking for a combination walking-hiking-general wear boot that's lightweight and requires no break-in. I have been wearing these boots daily for 9 months and still like them. They were comfortable out of the box. I oiled them up well with pure Neatsfoot oil and right away took them on a 7 mile hike that had good ups and downs and several creek crossings. They performed well. As far as traction is concerned they are a compromise at best. Great care is needed on wet or loose slopes and rocks.On the other hand, the tread is designed to be fairly even to slip in and out of a saddle stirrup easily. Most boots suitable for hiking with heavy-lugged Vibram soles would be dangerous to wear while riding a horse. Additionally, I can come in from the pasture without having to take them off or do a stomping and scraping jig to avoid bringing a lot of the pasture into the house with me. The insoles could be better. They basically failed after 6 months and were not providing support. I went into a Red Wing store and put a pair of custom insoles in them that made them far better than when they were new. All in all these are a decent boot for the price. Very comfortable. In the summer I often wear Chaco sandals, but so far I've not felt compelled to get out of my boots in a hurry. I will more than likely order another pair this summer, since just the other day I spilled about a cup and half of turquoise paint on my left foot. The old pair I'll expect to last as beaters for quite a while longer... I put this review away for a few months and now I'll finish it. It's about two weeks to the day when I ordered these boots in July of '19. They have literally been worn all day, every day. Today I noticed they are failing at the toe guard. Separation is happening on the big toe side of each boot where the rubber toe guard meets the sole. They are now officially beaters and I'm about to order another pair. The only complaint I'd have about these boots - other than the fact they aren't made in the U.S. - is the insoles. They're crap. Virtually no support after about 4 months of daily wear and weekend hiking. I solved that issue by going into a Red Wing store and getting a pair of their insoles. Those insoles are still working great and will go into my new boots as soon as they get here. Here's how I look at it, 90 for the boots and 50 for the insoles is 140 dollars, divided by 365 works out to about 38 cents a day for trouble free, comfortable all purpose boots.The boot fit perfect. Used every day working with race horses and a farrier. Perfect and comfortable all dayLIGHT SPEED SHIPPING & LIGHT ON MY FEET!... LIKE WALKING ON AIR. A GORGEOUS PAIR OF CLODHOPPERS!!!Had exact previous pairs of these boots with no issues. After wearing only two months the sole has pulled away and unwearable to work in.Very disappointed. I have worn ariats for years. First pair for my husband and falling apart. Both boots same spotThis replaces the first pair of these boots that I purchased. Those I've had for five to six years and when you compare the soles of the old boots and the new ones you see some wear but mainly around specific wear points on the edges. I beat up and was wearing out the tops before I wore out the soles on these boots. I wear them for work and hiking.This is my 3rd pair of this boot! Flexible and soft with great comfort! Semi dress to work you can't miss with this!I buy Ariat because they are durable and extremely comfortable; this pair is no exception.So apart from the small issue that these are mens boots, so watch your sizing, and are not H20, but a normal hiking boot, i actually love them. I chose the correct size, a mixture of luck and judgment, and they are as comfortable as I remember my old Ariats being. I thought the price sounded way to low for H20’s so wasn’t shocked that they aren’t! What they are is really comfortable and I am no longer crippled after a day on my feet and riding at the barnIt is a lovely boot! I ordered it as a 10 2E. But I received a man's 10 2E. It was much too big. It even had a tag on it, saying it was a man's boot. But was shown as a ladies' boot when looking at it on the Amazon site. Sadly I returned them.I ordered the size 8 wide for my daughter and she loves them. We ride long distances (endurance) and also have to run beside our horses at times and she has found these boots comfy for both activities.Bought the EE size for my wife feet.Very well made and very comfortable, even on the first day of use. Deducted one star because I found them slippery on smooth wet surfaces. Did not feel safe on wet tiles.However, the fit was so good I bought a second pair for future use.
