  • Great but dangerous
Size: 11 Wide Color: Brown
I went through a lot of pull-on steel toe boots before I found these and loved them. 2nd pair actually. They're comfy and last a long time with my big ass walking around in them. The only downside is that being Ariats, now my stereo only plays Luke Bryan so I had to turn it off and now, instead of listening to the radio, I'm doing Amazon reviews while driving a loaded semi in heavy traffic. Good luck everyone! Buy these boots! ... show more

  • Not as good as portrayed, but good enough
Size: 9 Color: Brown
As an Engineer doing field work, I require a good pair of steel toe boots for walking on rough terrain, as well office work. Something good looking, but also something to be proud of to wear to work. This Ariat Groundbreaker is no exception. These boots definitely have the looks, quality leather, and stitching even your grandpa would be jealous of. The colorways and combinations offered are very eccentric and beautiful. You cannot beat a brand like Ariat for some of the best looking work boots ever. So I decided to give them a shot, after all I've heard the hoop and holler about such a brand for years. Will I say the boots are all and worth they're worth? Sure, for the price range you cannot complain. Especially for a slip on steel toe work boot. Would I recommend these to every single person on the market looking for a steel toe work boot? No. They're very easy to slip on, and fit very snug, and true to size. However, they lack in a lot of other departments. Arch support is terribly tremendous, and the insole tagged "All Day Cushioning" is surely a lie. Not only is the arch support terrible, if you suffered from plantar fasciitis in the past, consider these boots a red flag and stay clear cut away from them. Personally to make these boots fit my needs, I had to swap insoles to Dr. Scholl's and migrate over to steel toe boot socks specifically to make them even remotely comfortable. I've broken in several pairs of steel toes, and these took at least 3 months of 9+ hour days to give me even some results I was looking forward to. They seem very durable, and with cleaning can last more than your average run of the mill work boots. However, I will say I miss my lace up Wolverine steel toes that were the most comfortable things in the world to walk in. These Ariats feel very rough at the beginning, become more gentle and easy, but still have a grittiness to them. The toe box really surprised me though, its just right and arguable the best toe box I've ever experienced in a work boot. All around quality, but not as comfortable as many will claim. (They must be used to their feet in agonizing pain for 12 hours straight and enjoy it) You must fit it to your own needs. ... show more

  • Resonable price, reliable, and they last.
Size: 12 Wide Color: Brown
I have had these for 7 months. So far and really enjoy them, they are comfortable and work great. The tread last a long time as mine still look new and I am 250lbs. I use these boots 10-12 hours 6 days a week for construction work. The leather is busted up and the rubber seams around the sole are cracking but like I said they have heavy use. I use to by $60 shoes that would last me 2-3 months so this was a good investment for me. I still see these shoes going well over a year and will definitely be buying be another pair. Update as of January 2018 I just purchase my 3rd pair of ariat groundbreaker boots. The fist pair I still currently use around the house and for personal activities, the steel toe started showing and can no longer be use for work. My second pair is still in good condition with normal signs of ware and tear. My recent purchase I plan to use as a dress boot as I break them in untill my current work boot is no longer suitable for working conditions. A pair of boots a year is good with me as the old boots are still useable just no longer meet my work saftey requirments . ... show more

  • Great for work
Size: 10 Color: Brown
I recently purchased the Ariat Men's Groundbreaker Pull On Steel Toe Work Boot, and I'm pleased with my choice. These boots offer a comfortable fit, with a good amount of padding inside. The pull-on design is convenient, saving time and hassle compared to lace-up boots. Durability is a strong suit of these boots, and the steel toe provides an added layer of protection. I feel confident wearing them in various work environments, knowing they can handle the demands without showing signs of wear. The traction on different surfaces is commendable, making them reliable in slippery conditions. While they prioritize functionality, the boots also have a simple and rugged style that works well both on and off the job. Overall, if you're looking for a reliable and comfortable work boot that doesn't break the bank, the Ariat Groundbreaker is a solid choice. ... show more

  • GREAT QUALITY BOOT... STURDY AND COMFORTABLE
Size: 8 Color: Brown
I've had this boot for exactly (1) one year now and I wear them literally every day in the warehouse and out in the yard in gravel, dirt, rain, etc for 8-12 hours a day. No joke. This boot does not leak or allow water to get feet wet. Sturdy yet super comfortable Buy some HUBERD'S SHOE GREASE water resistant additive and apply 2-3 heavy layers before use allow to dry well between layers I'd suggest allow to dry over night for each layer. Wear the boots for several days to allow a break in. Once broken in well... enjoy Apply the Huberds shoe grease every couple months to keep them water proof and helps keep the leather soft and strong Apply the shoe grease extra heavy on the sewing thread all around the boot I've walked through puddles of water that cover the boot to ankle deep and not once has water gotten in. Remarkable boot and Remarkable product in the Huberds shoe grease. Darkens the boot a bit but totally worth it for a work boot. ... show more

  • 2 days/ rubber sole started to come loose
Size: 11 Wide Color: Brown
First off, I work in the construction industry. Concrete floors, plywood floors, ladders, muddy trenches, gravel, standing water, snow, blistering heat, everything that a "sane" person would avoid (and I am not being reimbursed by any other company for my opinions). I bought these boots after much "research" of the brand, user reviews, videos, and price comparison of competitors. The boots fit as expected, but were very snug at the toes. This particular model of boot left me feeling as if I was walking barefoot on concrete. There was no cushioning on my feet, it left my feet and knees in pain. I found myself angling my feet as I walked to avoid the pinching and shock of no cushioning. My left boot was pinching my pinky toe with the steel toe. It felt as if the left boot was a bit tighter than the right. I did not get an opportunity to see how these would break-in, because by DAY 2 of normal use on finished plywood floors and ladders, the leather started to come apart from the rubber sole (the gaps are more defined while wearing the boot, but could not get the picture while wearing them). These boots did not touch any chemicals, concrete, mud, or steam. Just some light snow in and out of the building. I have worn Timberland Pro boots for 9 years prior to this and took a chance with Ariat and was very much dissatisfied. Maybe I got a bad pair, maybe the higher grade models are better? All I know is I will never buy Ariat again. Do your feet a favor and try on a pair of Timberland Pros before you decide on your next pair. ... show more
