Tan square toed boots had been catching my eye for a few years.  Every time Id asked someone what kind of boots they were wearing, they were Ariats.  Everyone I talked to whod had experience with Ariats loved them.  My cousin moved here to Oklahama from Arkansas last year and recently purchased a pair.  I was compelled to compliment him every time he wore them, and he continued to rave about them each time I did.  I had him go with me to the store where hed purchased his.  The Rambler immediately caught my eye, but they didn't have it in my size 11D (medium width), and the salesperson told me they had been discontinued.  I tried on an 11D in the style my cousin had purchased (also a square toed boot) and they fit, as he, and the salesperson told me a new boot should, quite difficult to get on, and very tight across the bridge of the foot.  I just didn't like that style (which I cant remember the name of to save my life) as much as the Rambler.  I got on Amazon and started reading the reviews.  Immediately it was obvious there were issues with consistency in sizing, some even stating that the sizing of the Rambler didn't correlate to other styles within the brand.  This was somewhat disconcerting, but with only one pair left in my size, I ordered anyway.  They arrived today (1 day early!).  The color was consistent with the boots Id seen in the store.  The quality looks great as far as the leather, stitching and soles are concerned.  They took me 5-10 minutes to get on.  I pushed my foot into one as far as I could, then Id switch to the other, let the warmth of my feet soften and stretch the leather for a minute or two, and then repeat until I got them on.  They fit just as the other style had in the store.  I wore them for a few hours today and they already started to loosen up on the bridge of my foot a bit.  I think after a few more days, theyll be quite comfortable.  Im very happy with my purchase.  I also purchased an Ariat roller belt to compliment the boots.  I experienced none of the issues Id read about in reviews about the holes on the belt being too small to fasten the belt without great difficulty.
