I have two other pairs of Ariat boots that I absolutely love! They are both boots that go up to my calf, so I thought adding an ankle length pair would be a good investment. I'm really, really disappointed with these boots! The look good, as pictured. But the fit is terrible! The actual foot part is true to size, but when you walk, the heel gets super loose and rubs terribly on the back of my heels. I tried adding insoles, didn't help. I tried those things you stick in the back of shoes to cut down on rubbing, didn't help. The last time I tried to wear these, I literally ended up limping home, both of my heels bloody. If I didn't live in the middle of the city, I'd have taken them off and walked home in my socks! I have had other (far cheaper) ankle length boots and didn't have this problem. Also, my other two pairs of Ariat boots have really great, very comfortable insoles, these however have a much thinner, flimsier insole. Really disappointing given the cost, and the reputation of Ariat.
