ARIATWomen's Scout Zip Paddock

These always have been and always will be my go-to boots.Fit is exactly as expected, very true to size, very comfortable break in very easily (although expect the first or second ride to just be a bit more stiff), and they have never let me down.I had a pair that served me faithfully for a year and a half. They were incredibly durable, broke in perfectly. Absolute staple of my day to day riding. I forgot my work boots at home during some very severe snow, and ended up working in these, and they even stood up to that test as well. Ended up buying a new pair just because the working in them had aesthetically left them a little rugged looking, but my original pair are still kicking and great to have around.Knew when buying a new pair I had to have the exact same kind. Would always recommend Ariat, but love this particular boot more than any other pair I've had of theirs.

This is my second pair of ariat boots and I love them as much as my first. Bought these as a more feminine alternative to Blundstones and I am very satisfied. Buy a 1/2 size up. They are tiny bit tight when you first get them but they stretch fit fit perfectly. Once they are on, they are immediately comfortable. I didn't have to break in my last pair of ariats and I didn't need to break these in either.I am not a horse rider or farmer or anything (equestrian?) but I walk a lot and have a reputation amongst my friends and family for being really hard on shoes. A pair of Dr Martens will last me 4 months maximum. My ariats boots have never served me wrong and my old pair (now about a year and half old) are still going strong. Highly, highly recommend.

My daily riding/schooling boots were worn out, so it was time for a new pair. These broke in much more quickly than I expected – just one day in the barn and in the saddle and they were good to go. The underfoot support is good. Overall, very pleased with these!

Adult beginner rider here. I've been using these weekly for a year and they are still in great shape after being stepped on and cleaned infrequently. My trainer recommended then by name, so I can't take credit for finding them myself. Because they have a zipper rather than laces, I can't adjust the instep fit, which is a little snug on my size 9 foot, but these boots are made for riding and they give great ankle support in the stirrups. The only thing I have to compare them to is a few tourist trail rides in western tack and sneakers, which I will never do again if I can help it. I just started using Dublin easy care half chaps and they work well together. What would improve these boots would be a loop on the back to make pulling them on easier. I use store brand arch support inserts with these (and all my footwear) with no problems.

After reading feedbacks and asking questions I decided to buy the 7.5 size, which is my true size. I was not going to use them as winter boots or anything so I thought I wouldn't need to wear thick socks. The thing is that the 7.5 boots fit nicely but they are a little tight in the upper and middle part of the boots. I'm hoping they will eventually "break-in/stretch" a little so the tighness goes away, I guess 8 size would have had more space but it would have been too much... or who knows.Anyways the boots are great, the material feels sturdy and they feel great when you walk. Just use thin socks and they'll do.UPDATE: they did stretch a bit and now they are more comfortable. The quality remains the same and I'm quite happy with them.

I have tried several paddock boots. The biggest problem is my foodt moves around in the heel. I usually wear a 9 but ordered a 9.5 so I could wear adequate socks. My foot is more secure especially my heal and the width is good. Just got them today but right off the bat I knew they will work.

I am getting back into riding so was searching for a relatively inexpensive all purpose boot. The Ariat Paddocks were recommended and I'm so happy I found them! They were immediately comfortable and required no break-in period. Very comfortable, and honestly, stylish too! I will probably use them for fun shows, too. I am usually 8.5 or 9, I ordered both sizes and kept the 8.5 - they run true to size. They may be snug in really thick winter socks but most of the year is normal weather for me in NC, so stuck with 8.5 in regular socks.

Size up half a size. I bought this boot in my normal size and I could fit in it but it wasn’t comfortable. I thought I just needed to break them in but I was never able to break it in. I bought a bigger size. After sizing up half a size I am happy and it’s comfortable. I haven’t had them long but they are holding up well so far.

My wife loves these boots. These are the second pair we have purchased. The first lasted 10 years +. She wears them for paddock wear and HUS training. No wearing in. Very comfortable. Prompt delivery.
