WorkHog Wellington Waterproof Work Boot

I bought these a couple weeks ago and have worn them to work quite a few times. They break in relatively quickly and are comfortable out of the box. Another pair of red wings I own were painful for a few days. Definitely worth the money. They also look great! I did have to go down 1.5 sizes from my sneaker size.

I purchased a pair of Ariat waterproof boots sku# 10020093 exactly one year ago this month. Overall I have been very satisfied with this boot, as compared to other brands I've tried. The durability of the outer leather and soles has been excellent. Overall I give them about a 9/10 and I only say this because about 6mos into it, my insoles did begin to develop a bit of a "hole" (wear) in both of them which eventually developed some discomfort under my foot due to friction at the worn spots. Also there was a bit of a "pinch" I would at times experiwnce between the leather upper and my ankle at times. However, when finances allow, I am thinking I may still give another pair a shot in the future because after all, workboots aren't aerospace grade machined parts and things can just happen. I will admit that these are some of the best looking boots I've tried and I really like the "not-too-pointy but not-too-squared look of this particular model. I also love the slight "suede-like" finish of the leather on the waterproof 10020093's. Waterproofing has also been excellent with absolutely zero leaks. Dare I mention the name, but the thicker Georgia Boot i soles I had to add for $20 did solve my main issue. I hope this helps anyone considering this boot for purchase. Thanks so much guys. _x000D_
Note: FYI, and in Ariats defense, I have NOT attempted to contact Ariat about any of the slight issues I've had, and this is my fault, as I just usually don't have too much time on my hands during normal business hours. I am after all, a working man.
