Customer Reviews Ariat Catalyst VX Work 8" Met Guard H2O Steel Toe

Just got them they seem really high quality. Love the protection and very easy to slip on.

I work outside, in the SW desert heat. Welding, machine operator, trail building. This boot is the holy grail of boots for me. Fit-amazing, comfort-amazing, ankle support-amazing, easy on and off, amazing, looks-I love the look. Can you say "home run"? Best of the best of the best. Yea I am just a working dude, nothing more or less.

This boots are so comfortable and flexible! Love how they also look.

Some of the best boots I have ever bought. Little to No break in and very comfortable.

Bought these for my son. He is a brick mason. Fit was good. He loves them. Will see how they hold up

Boot has excellent construction, true to size, easy to put on quickly

I got these boots through my company and I just want to say I love these boots so much, I'm a pretty big dude and other boots would always hurt my feet but man these don't, I wear these 8-12 hours everyday for work and on the weekends for my welding school also which is another 10 hours, by far my favorite boots

They are the best investment in my life. I will never regret this.

Awesome boot! Fits great, exceptionally comfortable! Unmatched protection and comport, very well built and very high quality boot. I've always worked in Ariat boots for the last 6+ years and these are by far my favorite. Worth every penny, would recommend these guys anyone.

Most comfortable boots I have ever owned. This is my second pair

Have had them a month now and they are a solid boot. Will see in a year. So far so good

Worth the price. You get what you pay for. I work in the oilfield in all types of weather climates, mud, oil, contaminated water etc and they are still in great shape. The zipper on the side comes in handy. Love them. Thanks Ariat Waiting for the next catalyst boot to come out so i can have as a back up.

This boot is the best work boot I've owned. Walking 25,000 plus steps a day rain, sleet, or snow. Jump and climbing on and off machines and trucks all day for 14months. Doing the same job for the past 7 years ive never had a pair of boots last 10 months i tried them all Red wings, Carolina, Cat, Dr. Martin, Justin boots etc... until i bought these boots. Paint thinning eat through most boots with in 6 months but not these. I will be purchasing another pair real soon

Over a year of hard use in an auto shop environment with ATF, gasoline, and oils. The only thing I don't like is they get slick when it's snowing and you walk on epoxy-coated shop floors. Then rubber toe hasn't worn out in over a year of racking a vehicle, plus kicking the rack out. They keep the water out and they keep the drill bit shavings out. A big deal if you have ever gotten a metal sliver in your foot. Im on my second pair and waiting for them to come back in stock to buy a third.

They may seem a little bulky but they aren't. They are very comfortable with excellent support. They may be a tad on the heavy side but not enough to tell a difference. This is my 3rd pair. Not because of poor quality but because my work place buys us a pair every year. This is my 3rd pair out of 4 years. The only reason I didn't get them all 4 years is the safety shoe vendor didn't have my size last year (COVID 19) I'll admit I probably wouldn't buy 3 pairs in 4 years if I had to pay for them, but I'd definitely get a new pair every other year. I gave my old pair to my nephew they were still in great shape. It takes a couple of weeks to break them in but it's not painful at all they are adjustable with the velcro. I never had a pair of Ariat until I guess 3 or 4 years ago. We had a bunch of new hires come in to the plant with them. I laughed at them and asked them if they were storm troopers or motocross riders. I told them to go get some Hytest slip ons. That's my other pair and they are comfortable and lighter but the Ariat boots are just as comfortable and they are more rugged. I'll be honest Hytest we're my boot of choice until all the new guys told me to try this boot. I couldn't believe it and I admitted to those guys they were right. So now I have my Hytest as my back up boot. It's good to rotate if u can. These are the best boots I've ever worn. I'm 49 and I've been in a heavy industrial work environment for 30 years and these are bu far MY FAVORITE METATARSAL boot. My all time favorite was the old Justin wellington but no one let's their employees wear just steel toes. I use to hate METATARSAL boots until I found these

I Love these Boots From day 1 my feel have felt great. No blisters, no rolled ankles, easy to get on and off, its like the boot forms to fit your feet lol I will always have a pair of these. I've been wearing my boots since 5/18 its 1/21 im just now ordering a new pair.

This is the 3rd pair that I have purchased this is a perfect boot for heavy duty welding environment.

I'm a coal miner for over 35yrs this is one of the only boots that lasted me a year . Like the boots but the price is hard on the check book.

These boots are the most comfy boots I ever had I'm on my feet at lest 10 hrs a day an my feet never hurt but the insole is falling apart now an now the boots are not as comfy

I first bought these in Nevada, on a vacation, mind you. I am a ready mix driver, I am in acid, mud, water, uneven ground. These are the best things since peanut butter. My feet stay dry, warm, and breathe in the summer, I work anywhere from 6-16 hous a day, comfortable all day. I just bought my second pair and am waiting for them to come in. 2+ yrs. Best money ever spent. Thank you ARIAT.

My pair just arrived. I usually get Matterhorn miner boots( the tiger toe outlasts the boot) but last pair I got really bothered my right foot after the steel toe shifted. No matter what boot I've tried my right foot hurts. Put these on today and after a couple hours no pain in the right foot. They look cool too and easy off and on for climbing in and out of my sleeper in truck.

I bought these boots 4 months ago and they are superior to other boots. I work in stone machining,which means these boots are put to the test. Other waterproof boots fail after 2 months in constantly we t conditions. These boots are still holding up great and i work 60- 100+ hrs a week. Do yourself a favor and by a pair.

I have had these a few months; I go thru a lot of boots; these are really well made and comfortable with the zipper on the side they are easier to to get in and out of; one of the best pair I have owned

I bought a 10EE, still fits tight. Maybe my feet swelled up after I ordered them. My previous Ariat pull on work boot was 10D. I cant tighten the upper straps either.

This boot held up great to rough work conditions and kept me comfortable all day. Break in period was minimal and superior traction in slippery conditions. I would absolutely buy another pair and recommend them to anyone who wants metguard protection in an adjustable slip on.
