Wexford Chelsea Boot (Women)

Absolutely love these boots. I have yet to dislike anything from Ariat. These boots are durable, mold to your feet like leather should, and are comfortable to be on your feet in. Whether I am walking around the school building, or trudging in and out of the building in the snow or rain, I am not worried about damaging these boots or having my feet hurt! My only complaint is that the toe box is fairly narrow. Even though I have slender feet, I can only wear certain socks with these boots, otherwise my toes and the top parts of the front of my foot feel squished. I wish I had gotten a half size up for that reason. I wanted the boots to break in before I was sure, but at that point it is too late to exchange. Still 10/10 recommend!

I wear size 8 in every brand of shoe, and this was the size recommended by Ariat. Long story short, I went through FOUR SIZES of these boots, none of which fit. 8, 7.5, and 7 slipped massively in the heel while also being too tight in the toe. This was still after trying different socks and shoe inserts. The 6.5 finally did not slip, but was impossibly tight. All four pairs had little cushioning in the sole, and my feet hurt after just a few minutes of trying them on. I had high expectations for these boots and was thoroughly disappointed by the sizing issues and overall quality. I have never had such a problem purchasing any other shoes and can’t understand why Ariat was so difficult. All four pairs ended up being returned.
