This is a fantastic boot for the shock shield. The shock shield is real, and I love it. I've had them 8-9 months. I've relied on Ariat as a brand for years now for cowboy work boots loyally. Ariat is the absolute best for cowboy-style work boots. In the years past getting non-shockshield Ariat cowboy work boots, they've lasted me on average a year and a half to two years. But this boot initially for the first several months is like walking on a cloud, it was beautiful. The sole did not hold up. The heel is WORN OUT in like 9 months. I'm disappointed it didn't hold up longer. But I'll say, the only reason I'm back here months later writing a review is because I'm considering buying another of the same pair. I walk 6-10+ miles a day through every nasty and tough terrain imaginable as a land surveyor. I was just gonna go ahead and buy another pair, but now I'm writing, I'm kind of hoping Ariat will just hook me up with a new pair, haha. It was absolutely fantastic until it wasn't.
