ARIATwomens Fatbaby Heritage Dapper Western Boot

Love these boots! Actually, I live in the northeast and resemble a cowgirl about as much as disco music resembles country music....you can see the similarities, right? This is my second pair of Fatbaby Boots. The first pair were purchased on a whim "gently used" from a seller on that most popular auction website that Ends in BAY. At the time I was looking for a sturdy boot to trudge through the icy, sloppy, new England winter in, not looking specifically for a "cowgirl" boot, but the price was unbeatable and I was curious. Here it is 2yrs later and it can be said that these boots are unbeatable and are still handsome to boot! They have been worn 5 out of 7 days per week for 3 seasons each year (would have been 4 seasons if I was 40yrs younger!).Most of my other boots and shoes are an 8.5 or euro 39. The Fatbaby boots I purchased on the auction website were an 8 and I was a little skeptical about the fit because I normally wear a size 8.5 shoe and can even go to a size 9 in a boot with thick socks on my feet. I have average width feet, not wide or narrow; I have a high arch and instep as well as a hammertoe on my left foot. (TMI?). However, the size 8 was perfect! So, I purchased these new Fatbaby Cowgirl boots in an 8, mostly because they were $20 less than the size 8.5 which I likely would have bought if the prices were the same.Once again, the size 8 fits perfectly right from the start, even in a brand new boot! These fit like a shoe approved by the American Orthopedic Association but look as fashionable (Wild?) as the Cowgirls that I imagine they were intended for! I wear these boots with medium weight wool blend socks. There is plenty of room for all my toes and there is no pressure across the top of my high instep or at the front of the boot across the ankle. I can not feel any of the seams or stitching the way other reviewers have written that they can. The back of the heel sometimes moves but does not rub or bind. The footbed is not like walking on a cloud. It is firm but comfortable and very supportive. The innersole is removeable and I can fit the semirigid type orthotics inside very comfortably if I choose to, but find orthotics are not necessary because the boot is very supportive in and of itself. The nonskid sole is not lugged and is not as thick as my first pair of Fatbaby Boots (which show absolutely no wear on the tread) but it does seem to be more than adequate. The shaft is soft and supple, not thick and rigid, fabric lined inside and suedelike finish outside. The height is just right on my leg under wool, corduroy, or denim pants. (I'm 5'6" and weigh about 140 lbs, size 10) The decorative stitching is lovely, the workmanship is high quality. The top opening is very roomy on me but I do have thinner than average calves. (Like I said, I'm no cowgirl)Great fit, Great fashion, Great performance, great price! These may be my second pair of Fatbaby Boots but I'm sure they will not be my last. Go ahead....take a walk on the Cowgirl side!

They look and fit exactly as expected! Beautiful boots and a great price! Very comfortable!

These boots are the best! They're well made, with good quality materials, and are a lot more comfortable than I was expecting. They're completely waterproof, which has been great over the past couple of rainy weeks, and I haven't had any issues with slipping in the mud. They also look really nice! Just a word of caution, look at all the photos under each boot color. Some of the boots have the wrong picture and it's really easy to order the wrong color.

Great, well made and comfortable boots.

Very comfortable and fit true to size. I do not wear ultra thick socks though. The only reason I gave them a 4 and. Not a 5 is because my new black pair do not look like real leather. The brown ones are obviously leather. One other thing I’ve noticed is the edge of the top of the boot wear off and shows the lining. It’s noticeable because the shaft is wide. They just don’t make things the way they used to

These boots are so comfortable! Wore all day for first time today and had zero pinching toes or aching arches. Super cute color & style. Perfect size 8 1/2. Highly recommended

Love these boots, works great for those with chubby calves. I have worn them for the last couple of weeks everyday!

They are stylish and comfortable, I work in a chicken plant and they are not slippery.

muy buenas botas, aunque quedan algo holgadas del talon, pero son muy comodas y recibes un excelente producto por un precio justo. Regrese muchas botas hechas en mexico y que tenian bastante defectos de fabricación y detalles en la piel. Resultaron mejor estas botas que tuve que importar y que estaban al mismo precio que las botas hechas en mi propio pais.

Bought these for my daughter , and I’ve personally purchased many many pairs of ariat fat baby boots for western riding and general day to day barn chores. I wear these boots everywhere and they hold up to the rigors of real farm life lol. Fit is true to sizing, and comfy as all heck! Terrific boot at a great price …always happy with mine and now so is my daughter !

Great boots, great fit, amazing quality !

Great for working in the stalls.

Bought these hoping they would be a good replacement for my motorcycle boots. I loved the cushion insole (beats my motorcycle boots all to h*ll!), but I just couldn't get my head past the wide round toe, so back they went. I likely would have kept them if the toe was a little narrower.
