I know this is an older video but these were my first boot I ever bought… I’ve had them for 3 years and wear them at least 2 to 3 times a week and I still love them! I can wear them for hours without my feet hurting.
That character's boots are supremely annoying to anyone watching who is really from Texas. The shafts of the boots were so floppy that they stuck out from the pants. I don't care how depressed a Texas man gets or how much he doesn't give a shit, none of us would wear boots like that. It's also irritating that they think we would buy into the LAPD allowing him to dress like that or not have a holster for his gun. Good riddance to that show.
@@SeanTownsendStormrider agreed 100% the way he wore them is weird, wearing them over the pants like some ranch hand, and about wearing his gun without a holster... dont even get me started.
S1ck3ms games I’ve had then for like 2 years now I believe, and they are durable. I went to France for two weeks, and these were the only shoes I brought. And for everyday from 8:00 am, to like 6:00 pm, I would walk with these boots. They were comfortable and durable the whole way.
I have these. Love them. Super comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. Because of some of the points you made about appearance and the lining I am considering adding a new pair of boots to my closet with a couple improvements over this model.
do the boots make hard noise when walking on, for example, wooden floors or something? like it sounds like it's wood against wood? I think you get what I mean
Just bought a used pair at my local thrift store for $40 still in great shape just needed a good cleaning, happy with the way they feel, looks wise the toe does look beefier then my other boots and a little wider too overall good boots so far
I have the black suede/rough out version. They were not as stiff as these ones seem to be. I think mine are pretty good in the comfort level as well. Good kickers for sure.
I swear, if the discovery channel did a show on cowboy boots and their history they should have you voice it haha. Radio voice for sure! Great video and good honest review. It seems like those boots would be good s*** kickers for doing work in.
I know I’m comin’ in a little late on this one, but catching up on back videos, (I’m 60 years old and bought my first pair of cowboy boots three weeks ago and fell in love with the look). Anyhow ... these boots look better on the feet than they do out of the box. The toe box looks good, and your pant legs cover the crudeness of the uppers. Pretty good look with jeans.
Jeremiah Craig. I will be looking forward to it. I know a lot of people don’t like ariats. Some people at my school make fun of me for just wearing cowboy boots.
Here’s my review after 2 years of wear. The outside is good quality. They are comfort or able for 3 months. After that the inside falls apart, I never liked the shaft of the boot I prefer a harder one. The broke in well. Soles wore fast and the insole is cardboard that cAme out when I got in water. All in all if you could get them for less than a hundred then I’d recommend but not for the original price. They lasted 2 years so I can’t complain but I did have issues.
I could say the opposite for my experience with em, I’ve had them for about a year and they’ve held up 100% but the outside leather has gotten so wrinkled and torn up, inside is still like new. My problem is that they fit a lot looser than I remember them being when I bought them, I wish I would’ve gotten a 1/2 size smaller
I bought a pair from Cavender's. They didn't come nicely packaged like ones in the video. The box was smashed and there wasn't any kind of cardboard on the inside. Basically the boots thrown in the box. The boots are really cool looking, great color i was disappointed to see they were glued. For me used to new balance shoes they are hard (of course) but comfortable enough. Looking forward to getting them broken in. Like i said they are very cool looking through.
Hi there, again in my opinion, a boot that’s basically a leather upper golosh or rubber boot, I honestly feel they are cheap and according to retailers here in Australia, difficult to repair. One sales person in our local saddlery store said, the boots need to be sent overseas for repairs, so it’s a throw away product here. The price point is way over the top in Australia with a quick google search showing the ankle boot at over $230 and the full size boot shown here listed on one site at $429. In my opinion, like a lot of products today, it’s high price with high turnover, using clever marketing to brand and create the demand. Reviews show positive results here in Australia, but I wonder how many are actually wearing the product for show over genuine work conditions, a trip down to the local coffee joint, doesn’t match up to the rigours of farm work. Thanks Jeremiah you are doing awesome.
Hey Paul! I love your input from Australia. It's a different perspective on boots especially with such a different price point. Hopefully the growing popularity of boots can increase the supply there and drive down prices
I looked at so many reviews that said the ramblers were basically pre broken in.... No... no, they are not. I have the same top foot pressure your talking about. Had em for a while now and definitely not broken in yet due to not being able to wear them much. Hope they iron out.
I like a plain boot myself. The lack of a proper welt makes me wonder about the lifespan of these boots. Even my Russian jackboots being nailed instead of welted can be eventually resoled of it is ever required. That said, I would definitely hike in those boots!
Great review! Can see you are Rambler hesitant 😂 Some of us just love it. I’d recommend buying it in a store to get the fit right. I go with a size smaller… I love them!
I got some Cody James boots for my birthday. I think you can only order them from boot barn because it’s their brand. They are the best looking boots I’ve ever had. They took a good bit of breaking in, but the look is worth it. They’re well made too
Also I know you’ve tried the Wrangler cowboy cut jeans they work pretty good with me. However I like the Wrangler Retro better. They are more like the 527 Levi’s like you wear. They come in Slim Boot, Slim Straight, Relaxed Boot and Relaxed Straight. I currently have the slim straight and relaxed boot. Probably gonna get the slim boot cuts later on because they’re more like the 527s. They also have that good look that the Levis have
Jeremiah Craig I haven’t, but would like to see a review and was wondering if the vents really help with heat management through the shaft. I can see your point though. My belief is that leather lining is best for keeping cool.
if you can help me please the same thing happens to me, how did you do it to break the instep, they are very tight on the top of the feet, please answer
Found your channel after looking up some dan post reviews and let me tell you, you save me alot of guessing i am an Ariat customer all my boots minus my work boots are all ariat even my lady has hwr 2 ariats i bought her
good , honest review. giving enough ' 411' , to maybe NOT pick a pair of ariat ramblers. - they are not the best looking boot- look bulky . congrats on the ariat sponsor. JDS/CT 1-16-2020. 12 35 pm
Depends on what you're looking for. I try to rely my experience so people know what they're getting into. People also have drastically different feet so I'm sure some experience something completely different from this Rambler
Do they last? You mentioned there just being glue and no stitching to hold them together... I like the look of these but I tend to be aggressive with my footwear and they get alot of miles quick....
You will look good in most any boot, you've worn boots enough you're body moves different than any other shoe. When I'm in boots (most of the time) it's just the right feel for moving and living in boots. I usually don't go for distressed, but these are good looking boots, I think if saturated with Feibings neatsfoot oil, they might break in faster. cliberty 165 question about wide boots, a close friend had fit problems he solved with Chippewa buckle engineer, and roper style EEEEE width boots
Hmm? I guess that's how the manufacturer pronounces the word: "Air-ee-ut". It rhymes with lariat. That makes sense. I heard someone say "Ahh-ree-ut". Tomato, to-mah-toe.
I heard they took their name from the race horse Secretariat. So when I say the horse's name that's how I say the company's name too but I guess it all depends on where you are from
I just don’t got my Ariat ramblers in the mail today from Airat definitely a different fit like you said there going to take some getting use too I see that
I have a pair of Ramblers. Thought they looked really cool before I purchased them. They're okay, but certainly not my favorite pair of Ariat boots. The shaft doesn't IMO make the boots feel like cowboy boots. They're comfortable, just not my favorite.
i just got my first set my only concern is the heel slip so far, only been a couple days, nice tight fit if a little too tight up front. hopefully the heel slip will get better as they age
Love my Ariat Ramblers. Especially love the style of the square toe. I own a pair of Ramblers and a pair of boulets... I am not a fan of the boulets. They never get worn.
Nice job Jeremiah. But they are not for me. 130 to 160 bucks I would buy Laredo. You would get a better looking boot and you would save a few bucks. Love your reviews though. Thanks man.👍
I'm a Midwestern trucker and love western style boots, just haven't had a good pair. I'll have to look these up since they seen like they can handle what I'll expose them to. I have extra wide feet, do you know a brand that'll accommodate that?
Hey Jeffery, I haven't tried the midtown rambler but I have tried the Booker which is similar and based off of the Midtown Rambler - th-cam.com/video/cwZHnkqewDs/w-d-xo.html
@@JeremiahCraig Thanks for including this video. That's interesting, there seems to be some cross-branding going on here. The midtown is advertised as having the ATS insole, which the rambler has but the booker does not. These are my first pair of cowboy boots, or really any boot for that matter outside of winter boots. They were really comfortable right from the get-go, in fact the salesman actually fitted an instep to make it a tighter fit saying that if it's loose out of the box, it'll only stretch more as you break them in. When I saw the model "midtown rambler" I recognized the name, having seen your review of the regular rambler as well as the traditional Ariat ropers while I was doing research. The square toe was a pleasant surprise too, if you'd asked me before hand I would've said no; all I've worn is round.
Lmfao, we made the same noise when you pulled the first boot out!!! My wife looked at me like we're crazy lol!!!! We need to do a boot review together sometime lol!!!
Feel free to correct me, I am new to western style boots & looking for my first set of boots. These are ropers, and not cowboy boots, correct? The difference being the shorter, flatter heel and shorter shaft.
ARIAT is at the bottom of my boot buying list. There is so much better boots out there for the same or less money. There must be some good margins and terms on the retail side from ARIAT because most western stores are flooded with them and it’s not due to being the best quality or lowest priced.
They are one of the most popular brands for sure and it's super interesting to me how people either love them or hate them. I'm intrigued by how much expanding they've been doing. Now with Mexican made lines and even US made boots too
I looked at a pair of their Mexican made full quill ostrich a couple weeks back and they were nice but I just didn’t care for the overall shape of the boot. I actually have some of their jeans and like them. I think they are made in Mexico. Love the channel! Keep up the good work.
Do you think the stiffness is the sole or the leather? I personally don’t mind a boot that takes some time to break in, as long as I know the leather is quality and nice and thick and will last me for a good while, the Ariat Ramblers are definitely a great shit kicker boot, i love to have a pair of these!!
Moses Miller the insole on mine was cardboard not leather. The leather was decent with scratches and scuffs. Personally I wouldn’t reccomend. These were my 1st pair and they weren’t great. I have em for 2 years so that’s good
Not a stupid question at all. I don't believe these can be resoled. The only place that would do it would be an official Ariat resoling facility but honestly I don't think it'd be worth it. What it would cost for a resole you'd be better off just buying a new pair at their price point
My experience with the rambler boots is that they are an odd fit, even for a wide square toe. I will say that my sedonas and ropers from ariat fit much better and are of much better quality imo.
Not at first. It would take a while in the break in process before they reached a level where I would be comfortable wearing them for 12 hours straight
Just bought my first pair! How do you condition this particular boot? I saw in a different video Jeremiah mentioned you need a different style of conditioner for distressed looking leather as to not ruin the look. Thanks y’all!
I’m looking to get my first pair of boots. I love the style of these boots but it looks like they would be a bit rough on my feet, especially for someone who is not used to wearing boots. Are there other brands that carry a similar style?
if you can help me please the same thing happens to me, how did you do it to break the instep, they are very tight on the top of the feet, please answer
I know this is an older video but these were my first boot I ever bought… I’ve had them for 3 years and wear them at least 2 to 3 times a week and I still love them! I can wear them for hours without my feet hurting.
Fun Fact: Martin Riggs wore those boots in every single episode of Lethal Weapon, sturdy boots!
His were more western style with the cowboy heel and pointed toes

@@aramisschmidtke3142 2 years later but i’m a “ranch hand” and I wear my jeans over my boots lol open boots = hay and shit in your boot
no bueno!
These were the first pair of boots I ever bought. They’re my favorite and great boots, definitely would recommend buying them
So understandable! These boots are ones you're not afraid to be in bad situations with. Definitely can lead to it being a favorite boot! 👊
What is the quality like my mom just bought these for me and I wanted to know how long they will last
S1ck3ms games I’ve had then for like 2 years now I believe, and they are durable. I went to France for two weeks, and these were the only shoes I brought. And for everyday from 8:00 am, to like 6:00 pm, I would walk with these boots. They were comfortable and durable the whole way.
Jeremiah Craig does any of your boots give you blisters and if they do you have a solution
My first pair as well! Love em
These boots are comfortable when broken in and really stylish 👍🏼💯
I have been wearing Ramblers for 4 years. Once broken in they are the most comfortable and have held up great.
I’ve had these boots for 10 years and still going strong
I have these. Love them. Super comfortable and perfect for everyday wear.
Because of some of the points you made about appearance and the lining I am considering adding a new pair of boots to my closet with a couple improvements over this model.
Do they have steel toes and steel liner on the underside?
@@teanrooks4059 no
do the boots make hard noise when walking on, for example, wooden floors or something? like it sounds like it's wood against wood? I think you get what I mean
yes they do@@Abbefabbe
I've bought these over 3 years ago. The leather has softened to the point it feels flabby, but very comfortable.
Are they good in the summer
Got this Boots for my Birthday from my lovely wife and I’m still wearing all the times - 15 hours a day! No problem whoaaaaa
That's what I'm talking about! You have an awesome wife!
Just bought a used pair at my local thrift store for $40 still in great shape just needed a good cleaning, happy with the way they feel, looks wise the toe does look beefier then my other boots and a little wider too overall good boots so far

Haha thanks! I wouldn't mind doing that show at all. Great idea!
I love my Rambler Bombers. I'm a fuck it kinda guy and wear work boots 90% of the time. Not a dressy guy and these make for great shit kickers.
Also I do agree. Break in period is slow, I suffered through but now they feel great.
Fuck it kind of people are lots of fun! That break in period though!
I know I’m comin’ in a little late on this one, but catching up on back videos, (I’m 60 years old and bought my first pair of cowboy boots three weeks ago and fell in love with the look).

Yeah not a bad look at all! Thanks for watching my videos Robert.
I understand the f**k it kind of lifestyle 🤣
Damn straight!
I’ve had this boot for 6 years worn everyday 12 hours a day about to get another pair
Just ordered a pair of these. I love the way they look.
I want that same design boot but with a stitched leather outsole and a leather insole with a soft leather lining.
Sounds like something in their Mexican made line.
I love ariats! You should do more videos with ariat boots.
I hope to get the opportunity! They have boots from all over. Can't wait to try their new US made line
Jeremiah Craig. I will be looking forward to it. I know a lot of people don’t like ariats. Some people at my school make fun of me for just wearing cowboy boots.
I’ve had these boots for 7 years. Unbelievable boot, just now bought soles to replace in them.
I wear the ariat Sierra and after the break in they're perfect..
Totally!
A little off topic: Of all the musical intros to your videos, Jeremiah, the one for this one is my all-time favorite.
I honestly love this channel and the boot reviews.
Thanks so much Austin!

It takes forever even when you keep them conditioned. They should iron out, it's just a chore to get them there
I wore mine on a 12 hour shift bartending. What a mistake! However since then they are amazingly comfortable.
I like a plain boot myself. The lack of a proper welt makes me wonder about the lifespan of these boots. Even my Russian jackboots being nailed instead of welted can be eventually resoled of it is ever required.
That said, I would definitely hike in those boots!
I was thinking how they might make a good hiking boot once broken in too! Good call
@@JeremiahCraig well I know once properly oiled my jackboots are actually pretty comfortable over the long haul.
They arent great quality they slide and the inside falls apart.
@@micahfrye8885 good to know thankyou!

My favorite boots. Love them for everyday
I’d love to win these! I’ve always wanted a pair of Ariat Ramblers but I can’t afford them because of where I am but good luck everyone!!
Good luck!
Got some of these today hope they turn out great i love how they look
Awesome! Rugged look for the win!
Great honest review.I have a lot of issues with my feet and nearly bought these.
Nice vid as always. I would like to see you do a review on Ariat VentTek. They have vents in the shaft.
Cool I'll get them on the list. I haven't tried them because it kinda seems like a gimmick to me. Have you tried? I'd love to be proven wrong
Jeremiah Craig I haven’t, but would like to see a review and was wondering if the vents really help with heat management through the shaft. I can see your point though. My belief is that leather lining is best for keeping cool.
Very comfortable after broken in. However they where hard to put on and hurt after a few hours at top of foot when i first got them.
Same. If you can get past that initial stiffness and discomfort you're set
if you can help me please the same thing happens to me, how did you do it to break the instep, they are very tight on the top of the feet, please answer
Entered!! Thinkin boit picking up some workshops or ironsides from Ariat for work boots, maybe I'll get lucky!
Yes! Good luck!
Jeremiah Craig is the Alpha and the Omega of YT boot reviewers! Period!
Haha thanks Rob! I appreciate it
These were my first pair of cowboy boots, hurt my feet at first but feel comfortable once they were broken in.
They take awhile to break in for sure
Have a pair they are very comfortable and rugged

Depends on what you're looking for. I try to rely my experience so people know what they're getting into. People also have drastically different feet so I'm sure some experience something completely different from this Rambler
I just bought some Ramblers, what type of jeans are you using for those boots?
The 1st truck I learned to drive on was a 1988 Dodge Dakota stick shift man fun times.
Hell yeah
I have these boots. I find it hard to believe you’re a boot reviewer and you totally missed the the Blake stitch on the outsole.

Thank you so much , I'm definitely going to buy one.
If you want some really nice distressed boots. Find some Justin Shawnees. Way better fitting, looking, and will last longer.
Not glued together, it's a good year welt which means it was burned together, very difficult than plain glue. Dr martens do that too
My Ramblers fit a bit odd. Right boot is fine, left boot is tight through the mid foot. Really want to love them, but I really don’t.
Damn right. Main reason I wear em. 🤬 it
That's a type of square toe boots look good on you.

They are one of the most popular brands for sure and it's super interesting to me how people either love them or hate them. I'm intrigued by how much expanding they've been doing. Now with Mexican made lines and even US made boots too
I looked at a pair of their Mexican made full quill ostrich a couple weeks back and they were nice but I just didn’t care for the overall shape of the boot. I actually have some of their jeans and like them. I think they are made in Mexico. Love the channel! Keep up the good work.
Still my favorite boot.
Do you think the stiffness is the sole or the leather? I personally don’t mind a boot that takes some time to break in, as long as I know the leather is quality and nice and thick and will last me for a good while, the Ariat Ramblers are definitely a great shit kicker boot, i love to have a pair of these!!
The leather definitely. The sole is 👌
Moses Miller the insole on mine was cardboard not leather. The leather was decent with scratches and scuffs. Personally I wouldn’t reccomend. These were my 1st pair and they weren’t great. I have em for 2 years so that’s good
Jeremiah, have you tried the Ariat Heritage Roper boots? They are my favorite boots
Haven't tried them yet but I'll get them on my list
Can these boots be re-soul? I know might be a stupid question.
Not a stupid question at all. I don't believe these can be resoled. The only place that would do it would be an official Ariat resoling facility but honestly I don't think it'd be worth it. What it would cost for a resole you'd be better off just buying a new pair at their price point
My experience with the rambler boots is that they are an odd fit, even for a wide square toe. I will say that my sedonas and ropers from ariat fit much better and are of much better quality imo.
I agree. Odd fit but I did warm up to it a bit. Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks so haha
Are these boots comfortable for a 12 hour day on your feet?
Not at first. It would take a while in the break in process before they reached a level where I would be comfortable wearing them for 12 hours straight
Damn, I don't do Instagram.
If you know someone who does just get them to follow Ariat and enter!
Just bought my first pair! How do you condition this particular boot? I saw in a different video Jeremiah mentioned you need a different style of conditioner for distressed looking leather as to not ruin the look. Thanks y’all!
What Ariat insoles would be best to be on your feet on concrete all day ?
Where can I buy ariat if I am not from America? Can you do some toy cars crushing using your boots?
Subscribed to your channel filled out the form, I do not and will not get instagram
I’m looking to get my first pair of boots. I love the style of these boots but it looks like they would be a bit rough on my feet, especially for someone who is not used to wearing boots. Are there other brands that carry a similar style?
if you can help me please the same thing happens to me, how did you do it to break the instep, they are very tight on the top of the feet, please answer
Man im really thinking about buying these boots.do they feel like your swimming in them? I have been looking at these boots for awhile.
