These boots are incredibly comfortable even considering they have a little more heel than I am used to.  I was hesitant to try another brand than Twisted X as those have always worked for me but I am glad I did.  I like these Ariat ever so slightly better.  The fit is about the same but the boot seems to have a better insole and the boot doesn't run quite as high as the X's that I have.

I wish I would have bought these much sooner.  5 Stars.
