Ironside Waterproof Work Boot

started wearing these boots three years ago and very satisfied with fit and keeping my feet dry when working outside in the rain or working with repairs with water lines. like them so much bought two pair a couple weeks ago. wear one pair for work and one for weekends

I've had these boots in a darker brown for 9 years and I have had no complaints. I may have bought a half size too large but after break in, they fit just fine and were as comfortable as ever. Great slip resistance. I've used them for roofing jobs, motorcycling, barn work, mechanics, long saddleback trail rides, maybe not the best for hiking but they still worked out on the several 10+ mile hikes I used them for. The waterproofing has held up this entire time as well. I've replaced the insoles only twice and usually use them as an every day leisure boot. I came here to look for a new pair since recently my little dog thought they they were a chew toy and kinda messed them up and also they tread is finally blown out but I'm not a big fan of this lighter color they came out with. I may still give em a shot. I highly recommend these boots if they're still making them they way they did 9 years ago!

I've had these boots for about 3 weeks now. I work in a wood shop and in construction. Also drive a forklift and do delivery work. These boots are 5 star all the way. Hold up to all the abuse I put them through.

these boot are very comfortable for a few reasons. _x000D_

1. Whatever they did to the bottom of the heel is fantastic, there is some type of soft plastic/rubber that actually gives when you walk and feels great on your back. They are not just a hard heel that doesn't give any, these give so your back doesn't hurt._x000D_

2. They don’t make a lot of noise when you walk, they are quite so people wont hear you coming from a mile away on a hard tile or floor. _x000D_
3. They grip the floor really good so you wont slip even in the rain._x000D_
4. the fit is so perfect it’s the best fit right out of the box, I feel very sure of myself when I step in these._x000D_
5. The heel isn’t too big, its just right and it fits amazing. you don’t feel it because the boot is well designed to counter all your pressure points in your upper body and lower back._x000D_

I wouldn’t recommend these if your using them for work, I would recommend using the Ariat Workhogs, the heel on these is to big and its not good to lift heavy things when your weight is not equally balanced, you can throw out your back or even trip on something on the job with a larger heel. these are great for going out on the town and even in the rain because they wont slip and there waterproof.

I have been wearing western style boots for most of my life and have never tried Ariat. That changed about 5 years ago when I tried on Ariat Ironsides. I have not found a better boot. It’s nice to have a stable, waterproof work boot with traditional western styling. Kudos Ariat
