These are my first Ariat boots and I love them! They are extremely comfortable - padding in the foot bed, wide toe-box, wide calf opening and easy slip on/off. I have wide, size 10 feet with high arches and these Fatbaby's fit beautifully. There is a little bit of up/down movement in the heel due to the room in the ankle/calf but it's not bothersome. Overall, these boots are stylish, comfortable and I expect to have them for a long time.
