I build Highways ; and I usually wear out a pair of your average Tractor Supply Store ARIAT boots about every 6 months . ... these boots just might be what My feet have been dying to have on those 14 hour days ; trudging along , constructing a road like a Roman , going insane from the fire whose flames can’t be seen , but which are devouring My feet and peace of Mind every day ... thank You for this video : It gives Me hope.
As a deckhand on towboats for the past 11 years these boots might last me eight months to a year I’ve bought expensive boots and really good ones they don’t last that long because we walk about 16 miles a day and do rough work with them. Most your cheaper boots don’t last three months they get ripped to shreds
I bought a pair of these last weekend, I absolutely love these boots!!!!! I have noticed it seems like my feet stay a lot cooler and I can’t begin to tell you how comfortable they are, hardly no break in process. I have wore J maxx Justin’s for the last 7 or 8 years, as long as my ariats hold up these will be my new go to boots!!!!!
These will usually last me a solid year. Best and most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned. The insert and tread of the boot are worn pretty well after a year but the leather is always still in immaculate condition, makes it a shame to get rid of them. I do not buy other brands as I get 3 to 6 months out of them.
Just bought a pair from rural king. I tried on every other brand after trying these on...no contest... Tried Irish setter,carhart,Justin, wolverine. This one was way superior in comfort and feel
I alternate boots at work with each shift but I have a pair of these in the orange leather upper that's over 3 years old. Now I condition the leather regularly, clean them when dirty, and buy new insoles, it was every 6 months when I was rotating two pairs but now I'm rotating 3 pairs and just bought insole for the first time since May of 21. No issues. Ariat is all I wear. The only problem I've has is with the Venteks with the brown skull. If you notice the Intrepids have a liner down the inside, the brown skulls is just the Ventek mesh lining the boot. Well the Ventek, in various places on the skulls, have started wearing holes through like at the mouth and chin of the skulls. I guess the shaft flexes and these places rubbed, chewing holes in the material. I just purchased the Green skulls last year and noticed they went back to a cloth liner. I guess Ariat discovered this was an issue and corrected it. If i didn't rotate so many boots they wouldn;t have lasted two years. i'd avoid the tan skulls if you see them. I contacted Ariat to see of they knew of anyone that could sew some cloth around the skull to reinforce it but they didn't. They only could recommend there NU-Shoe resole program which isn't the issue and couldn't fix this. Since they were two years old they just offered me a 25% code and sent me on my way. I hate it because they are still in great condition otherwise.
Bought the green ones after I got laid off from running heavy equipment and driving heavy haul semi for oil amd gas so now they r just farm boots but wear them every day, i remember how hot my old boots got and an old pair that back fell apart and had to be hog clipped back on to make it through the day. Def love these boots and I've cleaned , waxed and polished them up 2 times so far so they clean up very nicely.
I've been wearing a pair of Ariat comp toes for a couple of winters now. They're pretty close to the most comfortable things I've ever had on my feet excluding some running shoes I have. I think I need to upgrade to these though.

Dude hands down! Best video my guy, was debating on getting the soft toe workhog or these just because of the comfort I felt in these, but I think I’ve made a decision.
Nice boot review man! I just bought a pair of these for factory work. Hoping they hold up as well or better than the Carolina work boots I bought last year.
@@Salbarricades I’m a steel Mig welder. On my forth pair. They last me a year before they’re pretty worn & due for new ones. We get an annual boot allotment at work or I’d wear em longer. They’re lighter & cooler on my feet than Carolina’s.
@@hlozano6231 there's a ton! Some of the bigger names like Tony Lama, Dan Post and Lucchese have certain models made in the USA. Then there's companies that are strictly made in the US like Black Jack, Fenoglio, and my favorite Rios of Mercedes just to name a few. There's also good boots that come out of Mexico, and very cheap ones as well so you just got to do your research.
Great vid and very informative. I just bought these ventTEKs a few weeks ago and so far so good. I also (long night of Amazon) bought a pair of Ariat Rancheros (I know TOTALLY different boot and I will not use them for the same purpose). All on the advice of a long time friend that drives a Bud truck (lotta walking and moving). I am a LONG time Redwing guy for construction boots, but I thought I would try something new. Any advice on break-in,conditioning, care or waterproofing would be great. Thanks. Was a little disappointed they are not US made, but my last Redwings weren't, either.
Barley got them size 14 ee. First pull on boots I never use Boots of any kind. But as soon as I found out a way to slide them on I felt that they were very comfortable. I also have a broken Big toe, unfortunately my big toe doesn't bend so I always struggle to find boots hence I never wear them. But I tell you these fit good it also didn't affect my toe as much as I thought so I decided to wear them for the rest of the night and went for a 1 Mile fast walk in them after 6 hrs of use. My foot did move a bit in the boot unlike a walk shoe but that might of been the thin socks I was wearing. I might have to upgrade to a thicker sock with less plastic and more cotton. This is my review. Not that heavy and comfortable. I'm 6'2 at 350lbs so I will see how long they last.
howdy from canadas butt,, saskatchewan ! i picked up the workhog metguard composite toe with green uppers i love them glad i got them before ariat gets too too big lol. cheers love the videos
I hat that they dont make any soft toes anymore. My favorite boot had to be messed with. Now they only do composite toe, which is so unnecessary for so many people
Hello, I currently wear Size 13 M Timberland Pro Endurance Model 52562. I love them but I really want to try a pull on boot. I love the Anti-Fatigue footbed in my Timberlands . I am a big guy so I need all day support because I work on a concrete floor all day. Would these boots be a good choice for me or do you recommend something else? Great video by the way.
I enjoy these boots they are comfortable and still have plenty of life in them thank you for the review Also what boots do you recommend for construction have to be an 8in waterproof and safety toe?
hey woah dude what is that thing in the intro and where can i get one? my husband works hard but also has a lot of chronic pain and his feet swell pretty badly and sometimes he cant take off his boots, and i think this would help him so much
Hey Bootguy :) ! Could you tell me a bit about the Danner fort Lewis 10"? I am a bit unsure about buying them because of the sole. I just am unsure about the looks of it and if I am not going to buy them could you give me advice for other uniform boots? thanks in advance :)
DUDE, that sole is badass! Vibram Kletterlift is one of my personal favorite soles. As far as looks go, Its black and tall you can't go wrong. 200 grams of insulation its almost the perfect boot.
@@TheBootGuyreviews Hey thanks a lot for the quick answer really apreciate it 👍 With you giving me that kinda fast and good feedback I`ll definitely VERY VERY strongly concider buying`em ^^ thanks a lot !
Thanks for the video. Made me feel better about buying these. This is my first pair of pull on boots of any kind and my biggest worry was how comfortable they would be down the road. Seems like I made a good choice. Do you have any suggestions on socks? I currently wear ankle style but I feel like a longer sock would be better. Thanks.
I Like the boot its seem a confortable an inusual combination of orange and brown color. I think the Sole Is no durable for me.....i walk too much i need a Tacoma vibram Sole. Saludos!🇲🇽

I work in the oilfields and have that exact pair of boots. I won't wear anything else,very comfortable and lightweight

You have to buy a size smaller?
I’m currently wearing them as I type these
I work on my feet for 12 hrs and I do not get tired! Amazing boot with amazing technology
Are they waterproof?
Best fitting boot I've had in years. I work in the chemical plants I walk thousands of stairs a day and stand for hours . These boots are the best.
These will usually last me a solid year. Best and most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned. The insert and tread of the boot are worn pretty well after a year but the leather is always still in immaculate condition, makes it a shame to get rid of them. I do not buy other brands as I get 3 to 6 months out of them.
Did you go true to size? Or size up or size down?
Just bought a pair from rural king. I tried on every other brand after trying these on...no contest...

I would buy that shirt, but I'm a younger guy and my parents would probably think that I watch something else...
Worth to get a pair. The orange color is for safety reasons, reflect under dark, but if is not waterproof ...
I've had these for a few weeks... loving em sfter I got em broke in good
Lovin' the design in these boots.

So, how did it do?

Just got a pair of them there a great looking boot
Ariat is cool, if you like Chinese or made in Bangladesh boots lol, they make their boots everywhere but the U.S
Thanks for letting me know their boots are made in China. I had no idea lol, its almost like buying an american flag made in China...
I dont care
OK so what boot company makes their boots in the US????

Update consider sizing down.. May be a boot you want to try on first my 11 eeee was massive!!! Lmao
Nice boots
Will this be good for traffic control?
Can you do a review on the
Caterpillar

They need to make a version of this boots that's water proof.
My question is, would that venteck shit be good in winter
Yes in Arizona. But, not in Wisconsin.

So I bought these yesterday and I was wondering how much movement is the heel supposed to be and are they supposed to be snug on the top of my foot
How well does the venTEK work if your pant leg is covering the shaft of the boot?
Allowing heat to escape out the bottom?
Как и где купить такие сапоги
