Bought a pair of Ariat Roughstock Patriots about 6 mos ago, and they have become one of my favorite boots. I downsized from 12 wide (my usual) to 11.5 wide at the salesman’s recommendation, and for the first week I thought I had really messed up… the boots were definitely a little tight at first. But after breaking in and stretching some they fit great. Very happy with the quality and comfort, and the embroidered flag looks great on the shaft. I look forward to wearing these for many years to come.
I got these Boots for riding about 2 years ago. I love them. they are a great Stirrup boot, almost made for western riding. The narrow square toe allows for easy movement in the stirrup while not cramping your foot like an R toe might. The stiff ness is also good for leg position in the saddle. I feel like the boot helps me keep my heels down more than my old Sedonas did. They are a little wide, but that's actually helpful, specially on colder days in wool socks where my feet might swell a bit, getting on and off a horse all day. For a Chinese boot meant to get beat up, they're pretty good.
Great channel. Found it by accident and really enjoy it. I have a work pair of Ariat’s. I forgot which one.. Not the Workhog but similar. I LOVE those boots. I need back support and my Double H killed my feet and back. Then I found the Ariat with LR4. Wow. They were a little tough to break in, mostly the sides of my foot. But still pretty comfortable. Once broke in, I wear them as much as i can. Ariat ASTM F2892-11 EH
Just bought a pair of these boots to replace a pair of Justin’s that I’ve had for over 7 years…. Those were $100 at tractor supply and my wife paid $180 for these so I’m hoping once there broken in I’ll get years of great work and style out of these boots!! Keep up the incredible work!👍
Just bought my first pair of cowboy boots at Hanson Grain Justin Stampedes, super soft and comfortable right out of the box. Great store and great people
I have this exact same pair and it took a couple of wearings for them to break in across the instep. They are a heavy boot, but you get used to that after wearing them a while.
love my Ariat Heritage Rough stock boots!! These are the brown oiled rowdy model. The heel is 2 inches high. I cut the heel down to 1 1/2 inches. These boots are available in B widths!! I take a 12B. These boots are comfortable walking on concrete!
Love my Roughstocks! However, they do take a bit to break in. I have the Brown Oiled Rowdy color boots. They have a great spur ridge, if you want or need it.
I have the Heritage Stockman women’s round toe! I love these boots! I’ve been wearing them everyday, even with shorts! They are literally my new all times wearing boot! They are cheaper made, but I really love them! They fit perfect! I wanted them to kick around in. I don’t want to tear up my expensive boots.
I have the (now discontinued) round toe version of the Heritage Rough Stock boots. They are definitely stiffer than other boots, but they do eventually break in. They will never feel like "slippers"- as is often the case with thinner leather-soled boots. But I have no doubt that these boots are bomb-proof, and will last a long time.
Jeremiah I have a pair of Tony Lama Americanas I am wearing right now. They have been comfortable, durable, and well made boots. Felt like I’d owned them for years right out of the box. You should try them on sometime when you’re in a store like that
I've been wearing Ariat roughstock for about 10 years. To be honest, the boots are heavy, but in a good way, the sense of solidity coming right through your body whenever you are walking or standing. The rubber sole holds up very well, the leather upper are prone to scratches and scuffs. I'd done lot city-walking with the Roughstock, it's do-able, will give your legs a good work-out. Had different color combinations, the one in the video (brown leather) is most durable, had a green black leather pair, the leather got cracks after 1 year wear, likely due to the tanning treatment. I'd say stay with these traditional colors :D
I have this boot and yes it does take a while for break in. I throw these on for for outdoor activities such as fishing and have held up pretty well. I wouldn’t buy these again just because of the saddle vamp; which wasn’t necessary for my use and IMO it would look better without it. The narrow square toe is why I went for the boot!
I bought a pair of these about 10yrs ago( I don't wear cowboy boots much ) wore them a few times and my Gf threw them in the basement and molded. A few weeks ago I pulled them out and sprayed them down with vinegar and water, wiped them off and they looked brand new. Then I put some saddle soap on and then some mink oil and they really cleaned up nice. Better than new. These boots are really comfortable and mine aren't even broke in all the way yet. I am really happy with these and will stick with Ariat!
After you cleaned off your boots, did you throw your GF in in the basement? Don't worry you can clean her off with some vinegar and water in a couple of years time. Enjoy your freedom!
I have that same boot and yes the leather is very stiff and takes awhile to get broken in, but once it’s broken in it’s comfortable, although I didn’t take care of mine with cleaning and conditioning and the leather did crack where your foot bends.
The is exactly the boots I have. Currently it is my only pair. After the break in period they are very comfortable. Eventually will get another pair. It will be interesting to get your opinion.
My first Ariat boots I have tried. I see why folks like them and globally they have done so good. Wish they could make more in Mexico. So far haven't got snake bit and can still whip my weight in wildcats wearing these boots. And also has good traction. The gila monster seems like it's preoccupied and wants to follow me around when wearing the Heritage Roughstock boots. Its interesting when it sees me getting out of the truck when wearing these boots. Tough boots so far. Maybe one day I can meet Beth Cross and tell her thank you!🤠👍
so if you want a boot from ariat that has a softer leather is the ariat cyclone rancher boot. for me the leather at first was really soft and took about a week to break in. just a suggestion.
Good review. I just got my pair but have nowhere to wear them yet since I'm social distancing and staying home. Maybe I'll oil them to help the break in period.
They are great boots btw but with tax and all like at stores and stuff they total up to 207 dollars I think it was but they are worth it but my thing is the Herman survivor square steel toe rangers are great boots cheap Walmart boots but surprisingly amazing quality especially for the price and how long they last amazes me not to mention that specific boots looks alot like justin's
I'm on my second pair. I bought the first pair in 2011, made in Mexico. The second pair I've had since just before Christmas, made in China. The Chinese boots are good looking and comfortable, but not near the quality of the old Mexican made boots. The Mexican boots have now become my "good" boots, Chinese ones everyday kicks. Another company that got popular, and saved on labour rather than raising the price, sacrificing some quality. I was kind of dissapointed. Next pair will likely be another pair of Boulets.
I like the Mexican Ariats better too but they are at a similar price point as Boulets and I'm always gonna choose Boulet over Ariat no matter where the Ariat is made
I have these exact boots. They are incredibly comfortable and multipurpose. Size 11 fit spot on. I get heavy comments, but mine are so comfortable, i don't really notice. Mine are Chinese.
Do you happen to know the heel height difference between these and the heritage roper. I always wanted the roper until I saw these in the bar top lower with the black upper with orange pull rings. I’ll be living in them (my main footwear) so I’m not sure I want to high of a heel.
It’s made in China but all the technologies used and factory brand is American, so you will be fine if you were caught dead in these boots, you straight up American 🇺🇸
I hear you! Except your running shoes, we’re made there, and your casual shoes probably were too. Check the labels on your wife’s high heels, and your kids school shoes, boots while your in the mood. We fool ourselves a lot, huh? If you check around your house my bet is about 90% of the items you purchased came from china or Taiwan. I guess cowboy boots are like your “Alamo “. God bless.
I completely agree and don't like that they are being made in China but these are some well made boots and some of the best on the market. I'm hard on these boots and they are comfortable and are tough as hell. 👍
Should use the same size that I wear with my tennis shoes I have a pear of all black pair of Cody James cowboy boots that are size 12 and yes I wear size 12 for tennis shoes
Finding a comfortable brand is different for everyone since they all use different lasts to build their boots so I recommend trying a few brands. For quick break in time under $200, I would try Boulet (search for sales for under $200), Los Altos, Justin Bent Rail, Laredo, or Dan Post
I have a pair, had em for a couple years, tried to keep em clean & wear them occasionally to break em in… but they are super uncomfortable, Poor balance & the insole is uncomfortable- I put them on again today & within 5-10 mins my back & knees were hurting, Went to a boot store, Tried on another Artist style & it was uncomfortable as well. My previous pair of Justin boots were very comfortable, but after 7-8 years they are just worn out. I try to keep 3-4 pairs of boots in rotation, keep one pair for dress or work, And another for outside labor & for horseback riding, But my newest Ariats have really disappointed me.
This is what I’m wondering as well. The hybrid patriot has oil and slip resistant shoes they look more aggressive. But I like the look and understand the comfort of this food. But don’t know how it does on semisweet floors. Does it have a good grip.?
Or earth?👀 someone help pls asap, trying to order these boots a week ago and but can’t figure out the color situation. What I thought I wanted and what’s shown on boot barns website is oiled brown rowdy, but in Ariat’s website, the obr is much darker. I love what ever finish these are in this video. Someone pls help pls ASAP pls n ty🙏🏼
I don't have the Outfitter but the Ariat Sport line has lots of overlap between models. I have numerous Ariats in my collection, including a Sport model. Like Jeremiah, I actually really like the 4LR insole, which is their entry level one. The outsole is durable and lasts a long time. My biggest complaint with the Sport line is the cloth weave lining in the shaft. I suppose it could be valuable if worn in cold weather but can get uncomfortable in warmer weather. They are certainly the warmest pair I own. For ~$150, I think the Ariat Sport line is a good value.
Bought these boots about a month ago. Wear them every day and they have not broken in yet. Can’t explain but the heel on this boot is uncomfortable, hard to walk in. I have worn cowboy boots for 50 years. Boot is very stiff. These boots are available in a B width!
This is a myth actually. Thick leather can be supple too. Hondo bullhide boots are the perfect example. Stiff leather usually means it's lower quality which keeps the price lower too.
This boot is a outsole glue style not stitched at all. Then the heal has a bolt going through it so you can not resole or reheel or anything. The leather is tough as shit but as soon as that sole or heal go you need a new boot so it’s like wear it a year and buy a new pair. Good beginner boot for wearing or working in them like I do. These will last
I absolutely hated these boots and I wanted to love them. I loved the way they looked on my feet but after close to the 60 day return period of wearing them around the carpeted area of my house the leather hadn't budge a hair. Most uncomfortable boot I've ever tried. And looked like after they would break in they'd probably fall apart a few months later. As always great video.
body shape makes a huge difference in jean selection , Wranglers are usually pretty good maybe buy a size that fits you better , they do a slim fit boot cut .
Wouldn't wanna wear those riding rough stock with a saddle, or riding period. If you needed to jump out of the saddle quickly you'd have trouble with getting hung in the stirrups with that rubber sole. Better off with barstow
@@KD6TAV They were good, I don’t know why the sole cracked, I have another Ariat pair, but different style, cannot remembered the model, but they still doing pretty good, ranch working and city walking, yard work etc.
@@georgeramirez1291 the sole is smoother than the other soles like the hybrid patriot that like a hiking boot. I like the look of this one but the sole of the other one. Need a sole that is not slippery
Made in China. Several great boot makers there in Texas. Even Tecovas are made in Mexico which is also has a great boot making legacy. Why buy Communist boots when you don't have to?
ARIAT Steals customers from Carhartt normally not Tacovas, starting with their shirts and try and finding a shirt that’s not made in China. Between ARIAT and Carhartt the ARIAT is a lot better quality everything, Carhartt is junk. Tacovas are to clunky and heavy unless you go all leather and then it’s not a working mans boot anymore that way. What’s the third option there must be one?
I had my Ariat roughstock boots for almost five years. They still look brand new to this day. Great boots for everyday life.
Ok for trail stuff?
These were my first boots and my favorite boots, Glad you reviewed these since these were the ones I went and picked out once I found your channel!
Ariat is my favorite boot brand thus far. Thanks for your videos.

This were my first boots and still wear them! Going to buy my next pair of soon and these boots helped to know what my needs are.
I just received my first pair of ariat heritage roughstock boots today and I absolutely love them
Absolutely love my roughstocks! Broke in right away, and look great with any pair of jeans I own.
Epic! Glad to hear it

I want to say I’ve had these boots at least 10 years. It’s was my second pair of boots. I now have 4 pair and they are in the best condition.
I love how you do reviews from different stores that sell cowboy boots. I live near Boston and had no idea these places even existed!
You should visit when the pandemic is over. They have a great selection!
MY ariat roughstock felt fine on the first insert in to the boot and they feel great, I wore them right of the bat and love them.
Im fixing to buy a pair, I love the style and I'm quickly becoming a fan of ariat boots
I have this exact same pair and it took a couple of wearings for them to break in across the instep. They are a heavy boot, but you get used to that after wearing them a while.

Only took a few days to break my boots in. It took longer to get used to the 2" heel than it did to break them in. Good dubbin works wonders.
I have the (now discontinued) round toe version of the Heritage Rough Stock boots. They are definitely stiffer than other boots, but they do eventually break in. They will never feel like "slippers"- as is often the case with thinner leather-soled boots. But I have no doubt that these boots are bomb-proof, and will last a long time.
haha bomb proof! Maybe I get the chance to test that on an extended test someday
Had mine for two years welding and I’m wearing them right now
Have these boots my 1st pair in a long time I like the heavier leather there going to last very comfy.
Jeremiah I have a pair of Tony Lama Americanas I am wearing right now. They have been comfortable, durable, and well made boots. Felt like I’d owned them for years right out of the box. You should try them on sometime when you’re in a store like that

i LOVE the thickness and rigidity of ariat
I bought these few days ago.. Fit great, feel great.

@@mountainviewcattle haha no, but she is down there doing laundry tho!
Got me a pair I like them alot
Let me tell you once they break in they look awesome as hell rustic when they sag the ridge on the side of the heel isn’t obnoxious awesome boot
I have that same boot and yes the leather is very stiff and takes awhile to get broken in, but once it’s broken in it’s comfortable, although I didn’t take care of mine with cleaning and conditioning and the leather did crack where your foot bends.
I imagine it can get comfy it just takes so long!
Do you still have then how do they feel thanks.
The is exactly the boots I have. Currently it is my only pair. After the break in period they are very comfortable. Eventually will get another pair. It will be interesting to get your opinion.
These are the pairs of boots I've been looking into getting.
Put leather honey on and they will smooth up right away! I bought them superb quality, absolutely love them!
I dig the saddle vamp!
Me too
This was my first pair of boots! Yearsssss ago 😂
My first Ariat boots I have tried. I see why folks like them and globally they have done so good. Wish they could make more in Mexico.

Good idea. Stay safe!
I’d love to see an extended test on these
I got me a pair I love them fits great

Mine broke in took about two weeks they keep they’re natural form after the process
Can you do justin boot with the soft sole? One that's water proof and electrical safe?
Gotta love Herman survivors and ariats I'd say Ariats are probably better for a dress boot even though they got great quality
Just imagine if you came to Texas on vacation and we bumped into each other 😀
We'd have to get drinks and Texas BBQ duh!!!
I dislike China, but I purchased these boots. The quality seems to be on par with other brands. They did it really nice job with his boot.
Could anyone tell me how well spur heel straps fit around these heels?
Hey @jeremiahcraig
I have a narrow foot as well and can’t decide on my size. I have a pair of ariat ropers in a size 7 should I stick with that?
Anderson bean. Hand made in Mercedes Texas. Check em' out Jeremiah. A MUCH better quality boot for a few dollars more!
As soon as I can get my hands on some! Can't wait to do an AB vid
Not a work boot type of guy! Love my exotic boots.
Exotics are awesome! Don't blame you
Which of the two has a more narrow opening the roughstock or the striker???
I have a pair of boots just like these, really tough ones really hot.... 👍
How is the sizing on these boots should I just order my normal size?
Now we just need the Cody James boot review
Tell me about it! I'm trying haha
I have a pair and love em
Hey mate are there any reviews on the Ariat Ironside h20
what do You guys use to keep these boots looking new, well protected and supple?
I love mine but i like the comfort of a wide square toe better
Nice looking boots, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in chinese made boots. I’d love to see some more tony lama reviews especially of some exotics.
You got it. Love the Tony Lamas made in the US
It’s made in China but all the technologies used and factory brand is American, so you will be fine if you were caught dead in these boots, you straight up American 🇺🇸
I hear you! Except your running shoes, we’re made there, and your casual shoes probably were too. Check the labels on your wife’s high heels, and your kids school shoes, boots while your in the mood.

Should use the same size that I wear with my tennis shoes I have a pear of all black pair of Cody James cowboy boots that are size 12 and yes I wear size 12 for tennis shoes
Gonna buy my first pair of boots soon. Looking for one that is comfortable on an everyday basis and quick break in time. Also within 200.00 budget
Finding a comfortable brand is different for everyone since they all use different lasts to build their boots so I recommend trying a few brands. For quick break in time under $200, I would try Boulet (search for sales for under $200), Los Altos, Justin Bent Rail, Laredo, or Dan Post

Kayce Dutton's boots
Hey I have those
The best Ariat boot is either the Ariat Ranchero or Ariat Ranchero Rebound
The best Ariat boot is the one left on the store shelf. Spend another 50bucks and get American made. You’ll be so glad you did.
@@benduncan3930 I've tried on Ariat American made boots but In my opinion I like the look and feel of Mexican made Ariat boots personally
How slick is the soles of these boots, especially in rain, mud, snow, etc?
This is what I’m wondering as well. The hybrid patriot has oil and slip resistant shoes they look more aggressive. But I like the look and understand the comfort of this food. But don’t know how it does on semisweet floors. Does it have a good grip.?
I have these boots, the instep is very stiff and hard to break in. Otherwise I like them.
i bought my ariat workhog metgards at cowtown yeehah
Which color option is this? Oiled brown rowdy?
Or earth?👀 someone help pls asap, trying to order these boots a week ago and but can’t figure out the color situation. What I thought I wanted and what’s shown on boot barns website is oiled brown rowdy, but in Ariat’s website, the obr is much darker. I love what ever finish these are in this video. Someone pls help pls ASAP pls n ty🙏🏼
Does anyone here have experience with the Ariat Sport Outfitter?
I don't have the Outfitter but the Ariat Sport line has lots of overlap between models. I have numerous Ariats in my collection, including a Sport model. Like Jeremiah, I actually really like the 4LR insole, which is their entry level one. The outsole is durable and lasts a long time.

For ~$150, I think the Ariat Sport line is a good value.
Do a twisted x review
Can't wait to!
Bought these boots about a month ago. Wear them every day and they have not broken in yet. Can’t explain but the heel on this boot is uncomfortable, hard to walk in. I have worn cowboy boots for 50 years. Boot is very stiff. These boots are available in a B width!
Yes! Ariat does have some b widths but you're experience is the same as mine, they just take forever to break in completely. It gets annoying!
The longer they take to break in the better and thicker the leather
This is a myth actually. Thick leather can be supple too. Hondo bullhide boots are the perfect example. Stiff leather usually means it's lower quality which keeps the price lower too.
This boot is a outsole glue style not stitched at all. Then the heal has a bolt going through it so you can not resole or reheel or anything. The leather is tough as shit but as soon as that sole or heal go you need a new boot so it’s like wear it a year and buy a new pair. Good beginner boot for wearing or working in them like I do. These will last
There is NO bolt going through the heel. You can resole or reheel these boots! I own 2 pairs of these boots and have reheeled these boots!
Agreed. Mr. Spragg must be seriously lost to think you can't resole and reheel a Heritage Roughstock! LOL!!@@user-de6is4fw1p
I just bought one today, I ordered a half of size bigger than my size.
beauties
I absolutely hated these boots and I wanted to love them. I loved the way they looked on my feet but after close to the 60 day return period of wearing them around the carpeted area of my house the leather hadn't budge a hair. Most uncomfortable boot I've ever tried. And looked like after they would break in they'd probably fall apart a few months later. As always great video.
Anyone have jean recommendations for western boots? I have a pair of wranglers but they look baggy.
body shape makes a huge difference in jean selection , Wranglers are usually pretty good maybe buy a size that fits you better , they do a slim fit boot cut .
I’ve examined these boots at the local Boot Barn and I must admit that I dislike the wing-tip style design on the vamp. It looks ugly to me.
They do look good. Looks like short tops. I don’t like that. 13” minimum for me.
I understand. anything over 14 feels weird for me
I would get the double H Dylan over that boot.
Wouldn't wanna wear those riding rough stock with a saddle, or riding period. If you needed to jump out of the saddle quickly you'd have trouble with getting hung in the stirrups with that rubber sole. Better off with barstow
Would Levi’s 511s fit these boots?
Not for me. But it depends on how wide your calfs are
I do not like this boot but yea do not like the stiffness
I hear that!
not a fan of this boot. the stitching is too light in color for me . sole looks durable .~ JDS/CT
The sole lasted 6 months, never went back to ariat.
Six months. That’s not good. How did you and wet or slippery surfaces.
@@KD6TAV They were good, I don’t know why the sole cracked, I have another Ariat pair, but different style, cannot remembered the model, but they still doing pretty good, ranch working and city walking, yard work etc.
@@georgeramirez1291 the sole is smoother than the other soles like the hybrid patriot that like a hiking boot. I like the look of this one but the sole of the other one. Need a sole that is not slippery
They're rodeo boots
Made in China. Several great boot makers there in Texas. Even Tecovas are made in Mexico which is also has a great boot making legacy. Why buy Communist boots when you don't have to?
US and Mexican boots are certainly better made and more comfortable in my book too
ARIAT Steals customers from Carhartt normally not Tacovas, starting with their shirts and try and finding a shirt that’s not made in China. Between ARIAT and Carhartt the ARIAT is a lot better quality everything, Carhartt is junk. Tacovas are to clunky and heavy unless you go all leather and then it’s not a working mans boot anymore that way. What’s the third option there must be one?
The Red Scare persist even to this day lol
Isn’t anything from Ariat “rough stock” lol 😂
