Very comfortable even on cementThese shoes are made for working. I am a home builder and I pretty much live in mud, dirt and every manner of dust and debris. I was looking for a shoe that would meet this tough demand. I think I've found them. They slip on and off pretty easily. I'm always changing to muck boots or sliding them off to go into a finished home. So these fit the bill. Plus the composite toe is comfortable. I had some soreness on my heel breaking them in but that only lasted a few days. Overall I really like these.The design is very attractive, however, the sizes come a smaller number, but the heel support is very low so it is uncomfortable and can cause blisters, I have used them for a month and I would not buy them again.Tried these out for work, I needed something sturdy, steel/composite toe, and most importantly blood and water proof. (I’m an ER nurse) they were constructed well, but heavy and didn’t fit like they were supposed to. I’d have loved to have kept them if they fit better. I have some Ariat western boots that are perfect! Can’t win ‘em all I suppose.Great quality, fit greatThese are an accurate fit. Half my shoes are size 11, half are size 12, it just depends on the the shoes. So I ordered an 11.5 size… I should have ordered a 12. An 11.5 is a pretty solid fit, but the back of my heels rub which makes them a bit raw. It’s still a good enough fit that I kept them and am just breaking them in. Just keep in mind my experience when ordering. Going up in size with these shoes is better than going down.Not a good product to break in a high quality shoe at the age of 64, working 12 hours a day. After a few weeks of switching shoes a few times a week I can now wear the the full 12 hours. Very, very impressed and I am with all my Ariat products. Many work shoes wear out at the heal when taking them on and off so I use a shoe horn. These have the typical leather protection bit I still use the shoe horn. Also impressed with the Stretch collar at the top aiding to keep the steel chips from entering the shoe. 100% pleased. I also ordered a 1/2 size larger to give my toes more room in the composite toe.Excellent work shoes. I work on caliche all day and these shoes are very comfortable.
