I bought the distressed tan (size 8) last Thanksgiving.  I love the color and style.  The first time I tried them on, they were a little stiff so I wore them around the house to break them in.  If you plan on wearing them in really cold weather, note that it has no insulation and your tootsies will get cold if you wear thin socks.  I give this review a 4 star for the lack of insulation but once I removed the original insole and replaced it with Ugg sheepskin insoles they were heavenly to wear!  I live in SoCal and I felt the chill when we had a storm pass.  They're waterproof, so that's a plus.  If Ariat made these boots with a little more insulation and sheepskin insoles it would definitely earn a 5*.
