Odd shapped and wide feet Rejoice!! Long lasting, for several years !!! Apr 02, 2011
By TimK
My feet are probably shaped like trapazoids, so I always have a difficult times with shoes, workboots, and athletic shoes. If I found a pair that did fit, they would have wear / pressure points shortly after wearing in.
I would never be able to fit into a standard pointy toe cowboy boot.
I previously had a basic Justin Roper that had worn out.
With these Ariats, a 8D width was to narrow at fitting. I did purchase a 8EE, which seemed a but snug putting on and off for a while, but is perfect now.
After 7 years, I've been very happy and praise the comfort and durability. I would be happy at buying the exact same replacement. But they're in great condition, I'm actually shopping for just a replacement footbed "insert" because the heel cushion is wearing through. (still available and only $20)
The leather on the toe has some scrapes and is slightly worn down, but really only needs to have some polish. The sole are excellent, have a wonderfull forefoot pattern, and have an amazing solid arch. The heals are still in excellent condition.
Normally my foot would wear out the interior leather or fabric of a shoe / boot, especially in the forefoot or around the sides of the heal. The only slight interior deterioration these boots have would be the upper interior fabric from flexing against my foot as they bend and I'm crawling on my toes... I bend, squat, kneel, and croutch down alot and I've had these boots since my kids were toddlers.
The roper boots may not have the "pop" and flash as other styles, but I have worn these dancing. These may not slide as much on the dancefloor since they have a great forefoot traction, but do well enough... I have occationally worn these motorcycle riding (street)on nice days. You will need to have your foot firmly planted to hold the ballanced weight of a bike. I prefer boots with heavier ankle support, and softer soul with more grip than what these offer... especially stopping on country roads with unlevel surfaces and road debrie.
I also have:
Nike nunning / athletic shoes
Shetcher leather casual shoes
Cat 8" leather steeltoe construction workboots
Danner 8" leather goretex hunting boots
Danner 8" leather workboots - Used everyday for work and motorcycling
Chippewa 10" leather laceup packer boots
My favorite are my Ariat Ropers...
These are a great "everything" boot for most peoples needs, as I see.
I am leary of buying footwear online since so many styles and designs never fit in the store,..
but this perticular boot has the form fitting design, quality, and durability, that I can endorse.

The Best Feb 05, 2010
By TC
Ariat Roper Boots are the most comfortable Cowboy boots I've used. They are well made and look authentic, plus they are durable. The rubber sole makes them the most practical Cowboy boot you can own. They are well suited for everything but dress occasions.

classic fail-proof boots Jul 28, 2011
By peropheus
I ordered these boots for my dad, who is impossible to please. He is very fussy about his boots, and they needed to be:
black, not too shiny, not have an advertising logo visible, be unlined (just leather, so he can wear them in summer), have classic styling and stitching, rounded toe, not too grippy on bottom, but not absolutely slick, have no leather "by-products", go up high enough on his leg, and fit under his jeans. We actually found something close to custom order - for about $250-300, non-returnable (Did I mention they couldn't be more than $150?). Not only would that seem impossible to find, but he needed them to be available in extra-wide sizes because I guess his feet are a bizarre shape. AND he wanted them by next week, since his "work sneakers" were falling apart at the seams. He wanted these to be his work boots.
I received the boots within a few days, and gave them to my dad, who slipped his feet in and lit up. I checked in a few days later and he said they're so perfect he almost doesn't want to wear them to work - they're just too nice. I did see he wore them to church a few days ago. The impossible to satisfy was finally satisfied by these boots - so I HIGHLY recommend these to any man looking for a comfortable, durable, attractive classic leather boot.
The price is a great deal, and you're not cutting corners. This is a quality product.

Very comfortable Nov 14, 2010
By R. Grossman
These are the absolute most comfortable booths ever. Stay away from the "distressed brown" leather version; the leather treatment makes trhem stiff and uncomfortable. I have them, this pair and the black leather, and this and the black leater are great.
I especially like the soles -- not leather like cowboy boots. If you're looking for booths that look dressy yet are practical and comfortable for everyday use, look no further.

Perfect fit to wear all day every day Oct 15, 2011
By Barb Mayer 724
Hubby just received these Ariat boots today and he is absolutely in love with them. A tenant also owns Ariats and says he can wear them all day, every day. Hubby said he will wear them every day too because they are so comfortable.
