Ariat Men's Recon Country Boot - Durable Western Work Boots for Cowboy, Ranch & Outdoor Activities - Waterproof & Comfortable for Riding, Hiking & Daily Wear

Prior to this purchase I owned two other pair of Ariat boots. Both pair are standard work boots that have been very durable. The last pair of casual footwear I purchased were Twisted X. While they were comfortable the heel cup in the shoe was plastic and broke quickly. I have been looking for a comfortable pair of shoes for casual wear. I chose the Recon Country Moccasin for style and on visual appeal. When they arrived, they were as ordered. The leather is thick, yet flexible, uniform in apperance and well stitched. The heel cup is rigid leather, not plastic, so more durable. The fit was fantastic. I order wide shoes for a wide foot and the fit was spot on. My 11 Wide often feels cramped. When I first put my new Ariat boots on, the fit was snug but not suffocating and the insoles offered just enough comfort that I feel I can walk in these all day. My last Ariat boots have lasted over 2 years so far and have more life left to give. These boots feel like they are built to last. Ariat boots offer great workwear and now I can attest to the quality of their casual footwear.
