the title pretty much says it. Do the ariat heritage II paddock boots run true to size?

I've found mine to be accurate. However, I did buy them a couple years ago. Love them though, they've been great!

i have had mine for 7 years! never cleaned them, gave baths in them, 17 mile trail rides, you name it. the only reason i replaced them was the side where the toes bend began to pull apart... but can you blame them after 7 years? i have an 8, i usually wear between a 7.5 and an 8.

I went to the shop in Middleburg, and the gal there said they run a half size big. That means I normally wear an 8, and in the Ariats, I wear a 7 1/2. I did try them on and she was right. However I took a male friend to try them, and he was true to size. If you can try a size locally, do it for both size and width. Great boot!:winkgrin:

They ran true to size for me (7 1/2).

Mine fit pretty true to size--5 1/2.

I am not crazy about them though. I find them still stiff in the ankle, even after cleaning and conditioning and lots of riding, and the zipper on one was already broken--takes major effort and a ton of WD-40 to get it on and off. I was too lazy to send it back to Dover.

I think in the future I'm sticking with buying a cheap pair of synthetics every year. (:
