I have been wearing these Rebar Western H2O boots for a month and I love them. They are very comfortable and well built. They are warm which is to be expected from a waterproof boot. I work at night so its perfect for me. Usually wear a size 12EE but was too tight. Sent them back and 13D was perfect. These are so much better than the Redwing boots I had.

The boots look great, however, I could not wear them all 8hr shift. They start to hurt the sides of my feet at lunch time. I want to purchase another boot style but not these as they did not work for me. Unfortunately, I cannot return them since they have been worn.
I'd also recommend:
Puma, Timberland

The Composite toe is too narrow for wide feet or the boot would be perfect. Great construction and design, amazing fit other that the composite toe is too narrow. I am trying a half a size up even tho it's a little long tho just because I like the boot so much. Fit is tight tho so if you want a thick sock it's something to think about. Tread pattern provides good traction. Waterproof is good. Really like this leather as well, tough and easily rinsed off.

I am a 10.5 so I ended up purchasing that size but I should've gone with size 11. Break them in asap

Pros: Not super expensive. Well made and comfortable. Cons: Cheap insoles and I really hate the design of the sole. I bought them a year ago as a way to test the market for western-style boots. Definitely going to buy more Ariat.

I've owned mine for going on 6mo and the only complaint I could have, is that the leather on the toe, doesn't stand up very well. I work home construction and the most action the toe sees, is touching the concrete slab I'm working on if I'm kneeled down. Should have bought the rubberized toe I guess, they weren't as comfortable.

I've had these boots for roughly 10 months. I work in an office and warehouse - lots of concrete walking. The good: - Comfortable, very durable, not too heavy, they look great once they're broken in. - Waterproof is great to have, there's no place I won't go in these boots. - Composite toe has saved me on a few occasions. The bad: - Even after replacing the insoles with brand new Ariat insoles, my heels are generally sore after each day. - Not breathable. My feet sweat and stink these boots up pretty bad. So much that I usually cannot wear them back-to-back days because they're still wet the next morning. BUT, I purchased a boot dryer machine that produced ozone to disinfect The ozone it produces completely kills all bacteria and eliminates the odor and makes them bone dry. I would recommend spending the money on one. With that being all said, I'm actually looking at getting a second pair (maybe a different style) just to have 2 pairs.

Comfortable shoes. Look great. Even though all my previous boots were 11.5 wide, these were a little too snug.

Comfortable when on and walking around could wear all day and be fine, I'm a size 10EE these in particular are little harder to get in and out of than my previous Ariat work boots. Overall satisfied

The sidewall of the boot is not as cushioned as I hoped it would be, other than that boots have help up good.

I've been wearing Ariat workboots for some time now. They're my go to. Last pair I owned were the Workhog style and they weren't comfortable. Too tight around the foot even with me getting a EE. Eventually removed the insole and wore them that way. The Rebar Flex checked all my boxes due to me working in the field. I switched from steel toe to comp toe to see how it would work out. Well needless to say I've only had them for a week and the toe area is not comfortable. Not sure if it's the type of sock I'm wearing, but my feet are rubbed up against the composite material. I should have went up a size and maybe a D width. Hopefully the break in would cause this issue to go away because I don't want to remove the insoles because they are actually comfortable. I would recommend but suggest thoroughly walking in them before you purchase.

I purchased these almost a year ago. The were comfortable for about 4 months then the inside started to break down and the heal started to come apart. 6 months in the sticking started to separate and the no leak. No more water proofing and you have wet feet. I think I'd buy their casual wear boot again but not sure I'd buy them again as a work boot

The boot was narrower than most wide sizes, perhaps because it is composite toe and I am accustomed to steel toe boots.

I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas. I looked and looked at reviews before I got them. Since hes had them he has slid down a aluminum ladder, gotten a blister on his ankle and slipped a few times on a roof. I figured since they were oil resistant he would have no trouble if he had to work out in the rain. This morning he did not wear his boots and he loves them he says but I think he doesn't want to hurt my feelings. It saddens me because I bought them because they were built to last, never thought they would cause him to get hurt.

A solid boot overall but the boot repeatedly cuts up my heels. I do work in my family's orchard and whenever I do most work on foot for 8+ hrs my heels are cut at the end of the day. I bypass that issue by taping my heels with athletic tape.

Very comfortable but not very durable. Leather on the toe is very week and they are already splitting out on the sides. Only have had them a few months and very disappointed

the right boot fit entirely different than the right.. the left boot was true to size, had plenty of room in the toe box and heel and was easy to get in and out of. the right boot.. was the Exact Opposite as well as being significantly more narrow the left. Ariat is a good brand, im not sure how such obvious mistakes are making it through quality control. boots returned.

I got these boots three months ago and the sole is already tearing away from the toe. There goes my waterproof. My last pair of Ariats lasted about two years but these boots aren't living up to the name. I wish I would've bought the same pair I had prior to these.

Boot inner lining has come loose and rubs blisters on heel, and the lining issue makes it impossible to take the boot off. I only wear the boots once or twice a month, not an everyday boot, and still having issues.

Composite toe is literally too narrow for my wide feet. I wouldn't have an issue if ariat didn't market this as a wide square toe boot which is simply not the case. Composite toe squeezes my toes making this the most uncomfortable boot ever. Would be a 5 stars 10/10 if not for that and the cheap insole. Smh.

Boot is way too narrow. If you buy a EE wide you expect it to be wide and the composite toe toe box to be wide too. Composite toe box is way too narrow and crushes my toes making it too uncomfortable to wear and would lead to foot injuries over time. Would be an amazing boot if not for that.

The composite toe is too narrow and squeezes my toes so bad I cant wear the boot. Would be an amazing boot if not for that. I dont understand why you would design the composite toe version with a more narrow toe than the soft toe version. I'm pretty sure your website markets this as a wide square toe boot as well which is simply false. Would be 10/10 if not for this.
