👠 Ariat Women's Ascent Paddock Black Shoes: Exceptional Style and Durability for Ladies Review

These boots are fantastically comfortable and snug on the foot. The only downside is that they don't let air through well and get very hot in the sun.

I've tried washing them in vinegar but they don't smell. I didn't have this problem with full leather boots. Sooner or later I will go back to regular Ariat Scout paddock boots. I can't stand the smell, now I leave them outside.

The price is too high. I was so excited about these shoes/boots. I suffer from foot problems and was hoping. When they arrived I was so excited! Full of anticipation I opened the box, took one, held it in my hands, quickly put it back in the box and sent it back! Seriously, spend that money on REAL quality riding boots - it is NOT.

I usually have 9.5 in Ariat. I read the review to order these a half size up if you have high arches so I ordered 10. They are still difficult to put on and not roomy when I put them on so I would say they run small. I was hoping they would get more support from Gore II so I could wear them all day but they don't - my legs were killing me after 2 days of wearing so I'm wearing Gore II again in summer.

Great boots for the price and comfortable but although they fit the foot in length they are narrow in width and difficult to remove. Would definitely benefit from a back zip to get them on and off! I've had them for a little less than a week, but I wear them all day and didn't get better after feeling like I was breaking them. Will update as they loosen up and get better in the on/off department.

#1 - Go 1/2 size up for the rise! I have been riding (dressage) in 2 different Ariat leather lace up boots (size 6 and 6.5) for 3 years 5 days a week and I love them. When it came time to replace them, I saw the Ascent. Since almost ALL the low reviews came from people who couldn't get them because they were too tight, I knew this could work, gave it a try and ordered a size 7. All I can say is WOW! Easy to put on, not too loose around the foot and ankle, great ankle flexibility, SUPER…
