It always feels so good when you get a pair of boots that have that magical fit.

Thanks for talking more about fit!! My wife Cathy figured out because of this show, why she likes triads because of the tighter fit on the instep. You Rock!!

Super informative! Thank you! 😊

Thanks for this excellent video, I've been wearing western boots for over 25 years and I had heard most of these points before, but this really is great advice for anyone choosing a boot. One thing I would say is that when I was younger I really liked the all leather traditional style, but now my feet appreciate a bit of cushioning under my foot, and I've just swapped to Ariat.

Fun video, thanks Jeremiah!

Great video as always!

Thank you for always going back to the basics of boots for those just getting into them. Ive been following you since day 1 you started. Ive won a new pair twice from your giveaways. Im very thankful for all the time and passion you still continue to exude for the boot lifestyle. Always informative and respectful and kind. Just wanted to say that again brother. Ive learned so much after all these years 😊

Great video and explanation. Lucky folks who got that personal fit. Nice of Ariat to sponsor the video. May have to try some benchmade after all!

Excellent review & tutorial JC. Sounds like Claudia & everyone else got that awesome sounding pop. Levi really looked good in those narrow square ie: John Wayne toe pair. Cheers!

Great advice

Excellent video. Getting back to the basics is so important for people to really understand how cowboy boots should fit. They shouldn’t have to settle on the fit. There are likely many people wearing the wrong size as they have probably never been sized properly. It’s tough to find a great fit for many when there are only a couple of width sizes on the store shelves to try. More width options would help a lot.

Yo, thanks for the vid. I've been slowly getting into cowboy boots. It's nice to know how they are supposed to fit. That poof sound is honestly great advice. Thanks Jeremiah

Great video! My only experience is with the work hog square toe. When I was trying to find my size, I went to a store that sold Ariats. They only had steel or composite toes. I found my size and it felt great. I made my purchase online and got the soft toe cause I have no need for safety toes. The only issue is the toe section is low and touches the top of my big toe. The safety toes are much higher in the toe.

Very educational

" Hi Jeremiah, this topic is really interesting, no one has talked about it yet and it's interesting in the situation where many people order boots of all brands on the internet! Once I had a problem with a pair of Justin brand boots, second-hand boots and at the instep the top of the boot was tight and the heel was just right even though it was a pair of men's cowboy boots of the right size width B for my feet !I think it all depends on the manufacturing or the type of leather, they were round toe boots! Great Duo at the end, superb video with a nice Finale! "

Great Video Jeremiah & Real Nice Boots to,How many pairs of Ariat do you have?

Great video on fitting boots. I mostly wear Ariat. My issue with shoes and boots is one foot - (Left foot) is longer than the other so I have to wear extra on the smaller foot. I like to sometimes wear lace shoes and boots but mainly love the look of western boots so I put up with dealing with my feet being different size - My right foot tends to have more room but I tolerate it or I wear extra or use a insert. What jeans was your brother wearing - and what jeans were you wearing in the portion of the video about 14:15 mark? I usually wear Wranglers PREMIUM PERFORMANCE ADVANCED COMFORT:MID STONE:36:34 (47MACMS) & COWBOY CUT STRETCH REGULAR FIT:NAVY:36:34 (0947STR) - Thank you for your videos and the music!

Happiness is a great fitting pair of boots. 😀

I'm actually getting a pair of ariat western performance boots for my birthday, im pretty exited. But I usually wear 11.5 so should I get 11 D or 11 EE?

How should snip toe boots feet compared to round/square toe. I have a few boots and just got a pair of snip toes however they feel little to large. I’m unsure if snip toe usually has a longer toe box.

I have a wide foot and a small instep I have tried to put insoles in them but that makes them to high up to where my heal pops out .any recommendations on brands or solutions

A fold at the arch can also be in result of having a low instep. Or at least that is the case for me.

these are good tips that I have followed except for one boot that is giving me trouble. I hate to slander their name as people call their boots the most comfortable boot, but Chisos are the least comfortable boots i own. The boot slips right on and off without resistance but after awhile everything else starts to feel tight and very unpleasant especially the bottom of my foot. Any thoughts?

Is ariat's size chart online accurate? Can't try em on since im overseas, so there's not much hope except for their size charts

What do you think about Dan post company

Can you do a jb dillon boot review

Mate I have flat feet what boot do you recommend on getting

Hello! Fantastic video, but I hope I can get some advice. I never owned a pair of boots, but recently ordered a few models in different sizes from Ariat. I fell for the Heritage Roper, but still feel a bit unsure about which size to get. Both sizes have heel slip and they don’t seem to be too wide when I stand and bend the foot. Both sizes leave a whooshing sound, the foot stops in the boots before I put them on all the way. Both are snug at the widest part. Size 7 1/2 is the smaller one, it fits a bit tighter around the foot, with some pressure at the top of the foot (mostly my left which is bigger). It still has some heel slip when I walk. The foot is at the back of the heel at a standstill. It fits more snug around the arch of the foot as well. Size 8 has a bit more room, not as snug around and at the top of the foot, the “pressure” at the top is a bit further down. They have a bit more heel slip when I walk. My heels are not as far back in this size, almost like they just brush the back of the heel even at a standstill, kind of like in my rubber boots/wellies. A light touch. I think maybe both sizes could fit me? But which one is better? Will the smaller one expand a bit when used and therefore mold itself to the foot with a bit less pressure/snugness as it has now?

The Ropers will stretch out so If the smaller size is comfortable, I would go with that one since a bigger size will stretch and become too big

@@JeremiahCraig thanks. I will keep them on at home and see if the smaller ones are comfortable or if they feel too tight. In the bigger ones I could always have some thicker socks I guess 😂

After wearing them for a while, I think maybe the smaller ones are just a bit too tight, with too much pressure at the top of the foot. The feet started to “hurt” a little but, yeah, so I guess they are too tight, if they don’t stretch out enough that is.

My only complaint about Ariat is that they still make boots in China. Apparently it’s mixed as to which ones are Chinese, and of course they don’t tell you on the website.

I want to throw in the not everybody gets a pop or whoosh sound. For me I have wide but low volume feet. So I always get a bulge on the arch because there is no laces. That is life and I have to deal with it if I want to wear cowboy boots. If I don’t get the wide version, then I will get a firmer feel but it is very uncomfortable. But if I go up and not get the white version, I have the room in the top but it’s entirely too long. Just want to throw that out there for people like me who get, annoyed with our cowboy boot fit.

"Wide calf" is not a misnomer. They're wider than average. You can call them "Powerful" or "Strong Calves" if that makes you feel better about it. LOL

My Ariats squeak so much I don’t even want to wear them

Get you some gator tails they too bumpy to show lol
