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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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!
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.
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. 👍
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 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!
@@kevinschmidt4903 I had a shoe cobbler near me do the work. I had Vibram cowboy boot heels put on. The heels that come with these boots from Ariat are not as good as Vibram cowboy boot heels.
@@kevinschmidt4903 I had a shoe cobbler do the work. I used Vibram brand cowboy boot heels. The heels that come with the boots from Ariat aren't that good.
@@kevinschmidt4903 I had a shoe cobbler do the work. I used Vibram cowboy boot heels. The heels that come with these boots from Ariat aren't that good.
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!
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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
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!👍
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
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🙏🏼
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!🤠👍
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
@@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
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.
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!
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.

As soon as I can get my hands on some! Can't wait to do an AB vid
Ariat is my favorite boot brand thus far. Thanks for your videos.
I bought these few days ago.. Fit great, feel great.
Have these boots my 1st pair in a long time I like the heavier leather there going to last very comfy.
I have had mine for about 5 years now they are really comfortable. mine also say made in mexico on the inside.
This was my first pair of boots! Yearsssss ago 😂
I ordered a pair last night. Looking forward to comparing mine along with the video!
How slick is the soles of these boots, especially in rain, mud, snow, etc?

Good idea. Stay safe!
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.

Nice! A first boot is what helps shape our preferences. Thanks for sharing!
what do You guys use to keep these boots looking new, well protected and supple?
I have these and really like them!
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.
Do a twisted x review
Can't wait to!
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
Love it
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.

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?
Not a work boot type of guy! Love my exotic boots.
Exotics are awesome! Don't blame you
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.
Gotta love Herman survivors and ariats I'd say Ariats are probably better for a dress boot even though they got great quality
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.
Hey I have those
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 have these boots, the instep is very stiff and hard to break in. Otherwise I like them.
Could anyone tell me how well spur heel straps fit around these heels?
Just got those for my birthday.
Cool! Happy Birthday!
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
Hey mate are there any reviews on the Ariat Ironside h20

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!🤠👍
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!!@@scottbader-x1p
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
not a fan of this boot. the stitching is too light in color for me . sole looks durable .~ JDS/CT
Junk. Chinese boots. Don’t waste your money. Heavy as a truck tire. Go see Dan, Tony or Justin for all you boot needs. Exotic or everyday kick around.
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.
Isn’t anything from Ariat “rough stock” lol 😂
