ARIATMen's Groundbreaker Wide Square Toe Work Boot

My 4th pair of Ariats, 1st pair of square toe work boots. Out of the box-1st, out of the box comfortable. 2nd, good fit-ordered my regular size. Amazon said the I should order a size bigger, but I didn't. Glad I didn't pay attention to their comment. So far, I think break in will be less than an hour. It did, fit great. UPDATE-returned for a 1/2 size from regular everywhere. Fit is better. UPDATE- wearThe boots were comfortable out of box. After a few weeks the boots fit like a glove. I'll buy again if these wear out. UPDATE, 4 months after purchase. I wear these boots everywhere. Work all day in the yard, brush them good and wear them out to dinner. One review said the leather will root before the soles will wear out. The soles show no wear. These boots are the most comfortable ones I own.

I’m on my second pair of these, having just replaced my first pair after about 1.5 years of daily use on construction sites.Insole replaced after about six months originally with the ariat insoles, they lasted about another year along with the boots.Very stiff out of the box, recommend using mink oil or something similar to loosen up the leather and add water resistance. These are not waterproof, you have to grease them periodically.Leather is pretty durable, holds up well to scratches from rocks, wood, nails, concrete, etc on job sites.Not super well insulated so I would recommend think socks in the winter time for warmth.Arch and heel support is very good, even better if you swap the insoles out for the better ones.10/10, will probably buy a third time in another year or two when I need another pair.

These are my 3rd pair. Actually forgot to order steal toe, but the toes are pretty solid so decided to keep them. Very comfortable boots as well.

Looked good. Quality was excellent but they are very narrow in the shaft had to send them back because couldn't get foot in the boot because of this

I work in construction so comfortable boots are a must. I got these for a bargain because they were "used" only thing wrong with them is they had some scuff marks, the insoles are brand new and the bottoms of them look like they have never touched the ground. I've always stood by Ariat boots they last me a lot longer than most other boots and don't take as long to break them in.

Good work boots for light duty work. I neglected to realize that these were not safety toe so they are relegated to home use.

I have three pairs of Ariat boots and this is by far the most comfortable pair I own, the break in period is very minimal and develops a nice patina quickly. I can wear these all day they are that comfortable. In my experience, I typically wear size 11 in Ariat boots but I wear a 10.5 in the groundbreaker. They’re not fully waterproof but keep my feet dry when it’s rainy or stomping though puddles. I hope they never stop making these boots!

I read all the reviews and as usual, eliminated 50% of the bad reviews. I want to like these, I ordered the usual size I wear; 12W(EE). For me, I tried them with my normal "thick" socks, NO way I could get them on! Tried them with thin dress socks.... and with all my might, I got them on. Once on, they felt a bit small in the instep, arch/ top of foot- see my second picture. I have a high instep and they felt OK once on, but a bit on the tight side- as do some lace-up shoes do when new. I tried them both around the house for an hour or so and felt as if they were going to stretch out.At first glance, I thought as many other reviewers complained about that they would be too big. For me, with boots, I want them to stretch to fit due to the fact that there are no laces to tighten. But I want them to be easier to put on than they were.I will try my old trusty wooden shoe stretchers for a day or so to see if they loosen up in 'my' problem spot.Other fitment areas: toebox is adequate, heel slide is ok to large. All in all, I have only purchased a few pairs of shoes online and am learning that it is often a crap shoot!Amazon was late on delivering these to me, 9 days is not what I am conditioned for here!

The style and fit of the boots are amazing. Just need to make sure you break them in properly or else your feet may be sore for longer walks in the beginning of owning them.
