Side by Side Comparison of: Arider vs Ferro Aldo

Perfect boots for the price. The sizing and style was perfect. They fit pretty comfortably. It was a little different seeing them in person; they are not as shiny, which I was worried about once I bought them. I replaced the shoe laces for a shorter, thicker one so I can tie off mid way. The zipper on the side makes it easier and quicker to put on.

These boots were exactly what I expected. They're durable, look fantastic, and do a great job of keeping my feet and ankles protected and secure. I give them 5 stars even though I had two problems with them. 1: the shoelaces are not good quality, and they ripped a little after I bought them. All I had to do was simply replace them with black boot laces and now they're perfectly fine and strong. 2: the size was larger than what I anticipated. They're not extremely large on me, but they are larger than what I was expecting a size 9 to be. Overall I love them, and I wear them every time I'm in long pants.

Just bought these for motorcycle riding, just wanted a solid, cheap pair of hard boots and wham, they arrived and they look INCREDIBLE, you can not belive how good these look for the price. Haven't worn them much yet but they seem to be pretty solid, great comfortable sole, sturdy but not stiff or tight. I'm a 10.5 but based on the ratings I ordered a 10 and they fit perfect, go half or one full size smaller. These DO NOT have that smell issue that most synthetic boots have, smell nice and new, even the box is shockingly good and stylish.Beautiful, comfortable boots for motorcycle riding or just casual use, UNBEATABLE for the price.

Fantastic boots. I'm a boot fanatic so when I saw these babies I had to get them. They fit great, they're comfortable to walk in granted I don't hike or anything in them, they're not meant for that. I believe they're mean to be casual dress boots, not your everyday rugged military boot. So don't mistreat them, though they do not appear to be cheaply made, or at least my pair isn't. Still, take care of them, they're delicate things. I want mine to look smashing everyday I wear them.

These boots are an amazing buy for the price. I was honestly expecting a much more inferior, semi-disposable product and I am really pleased. I wear them a few times a week and I love them. I put some nice inserts in them to improve the arch support and they feel fantastic, but they really felt ok without them. The ankle portion is fairly stiff so definetely wear some tall socks when you first start wearing them to protect your ankles. It's hard to tell they are pleather, I am just really happy with these boots. They look great with a 90's grunge look and also look good with some bootcut jeans.

I wear an 11-11 1/2. Bought the 12 because I knew they would run small (China). Perfect fitment. Very high quality. Looks top shelf and for cheap! Go to a big retailer and look at the crazy prices for the same kind or in most cases, a lesser quality boot. These look great with jeans or dress slacks. Totally interchangeable. I lam happy to have them. Great buy!

Great Item.

We looked everywhere .. Was hesitant to order boots online because of the various sizes.These came in and I knew instantly the style would fit him perfectly. He tried them on and said they were more comfortable than his sneakers I knew they were a winner! It's hard to make him smile and these did!I didn't do 5stars simply because we haven't had them long enough to judge wear and tear but for the price how bad can it be?Thanks Amazon!

Good value for the price (if you get it when it's on sale). Yes it's much lower quality than a three hundred dollar redwing but this boot is priced accordingly. You would only want to use this as a casual boot--not for hiking or working in--I expect it will not last long. The description said to go one size higher--this was not needed--but I'll take advantage of the extra room by wearing a nice heavy sock. Which may be very good idea as there's little to no insulation and if you're gonna wear this in the winter you'll freeze fast without a good sock. Love the color

For the price it if great but I wish there was more space in the toes. I had to get a shoo spreader to make the toes wider but other than that the price is great and as for the smell everybody is complaining about they smell like real leather that have never been used. The smell is not as horrible as everyone makes it out to be. I have had real leather boots before and I kind of like the smell (Nostalgia and all) like that new car smell it goes a way in a very short time.

Very nice boots, but they were to small for me so I give them to my Son. They were a prefect fit for him he is a coordinator for the us government and have move around and walk a lot. He told me that they were so comfortable that at times he forget they were on his feet until someone wouldcompliment the boots. And from handling, looking, and seeing the fine detail in the make up of the boots I trust and also know that his every word is true. Thank You

the first pair of boots I every purchased were from JCpenny's for about $100. After owning and loving them for about 2 weeks they fell apart. I purchased these assuming they would meet the same fate, I mean, they are $30 so there's no way they would hold up as well right? well I was pleasantly surprised as these have held up for months and still look/feel great

Laces on right boot was messed up. I'm able use it but 2 good laces would have been better and a 4 star rating.

I've ordered these boots from the 'other' site several times and love them. They are not the highest quality and if worn everyday, don't expect to get more than 6 months out of them before the sole starts to pull apart. Sometimes it can be fixed with a little shoe-goo but usually not. The leather itself rips. I like the boots so I keep buying them... and they are cheap so no real loss.All this said, if ordering from Amazon, check the sixe on the boot before discarding the box. I've ordered twice from Amazon in 6 weeks and both boxes were correctly marked but the boots inside were a smaller size and different color. The color in the ad is pure tan and shiny; a nice dressy look. The color delivered was the same tan but covered over with a black-ish color. Made to look rustic, I guess. Not bad looking at all but not the color ordered. I threw the box out on the first order before verifying the size so I couldn't return them. Obviously I returned the second pair and may try again as the 'other' site is still out of stock.So, moral of the story...cheap boot but nice looking and relatively comfortable after breaking in. For the price, not bad.

Does not look like The picture, but they're nice boots, fit good, only left Boot slightly bigger.Also my 8-1/2 looks more like a 9-1/2 on my feet!There look bigger then what they are...

I was expecting a different shoe sole and more shinny like the picture and its matte its look good but it's not like the picture anyway it's cheap and looks good but don't expect that picture

Good looking pair of boots but they do feel a little cheap (you get what you pay for right?). Also, do make sure to order 1 full size smaller. I usually wear 8, ordered a 7.5 because it was the smaller size available but they sent me an 8, which is too large for me.

These boots are nice and I would have given it 5 stars if they would fit. I usually wear an 8.5 in all my shoes, however in these boots I wish I would have ordered an 8. I just have to wear 2 pair of socks and they work. Just something for you to know if you are looking at ordering them.

Look ok, but not comfortable.

I guest my feet grew

The boot has come apart from the sole and the laces look horrible, it's been 2 months of regular wear around a college campus. They look great in the beginning though if you need something cheap.

alright for the price but look cheap

I check the reviews before ordering. A large majority reported these boots fit as expected. So I ordered my regular size. Mine were a bit large. I put some Dr. Scholls inserts in them and they seem to work fairly well. I am disappointed that I had to do this to get a fairly proper fit. The width is fine but to toe area is too large. Nice looking boot, however after wearing them for a week the heels on both boots seperated from the boot! I had to return them and did get a full refund..

I bought this item knowing it would be cheap but to a certain extent this was horrible it broke in a span of a couple days and it was disappointing but if you can take care of it it, it may last maybe a month, plus it does look pretty bad-ass. so i rate it pretty low if it was more durable it would be awesome especially the heel and zipper.

Ordered in August and they're already falling apart by September 6. The insole is tearing up and the sole has come apart from the boot. Very poor quality!

The quality couldn't be worse, the sole literally pealed away after 1 month of wear

These fell apart within two weeks of owning them. Luckily they were cheap, but I guess the idiom is true "you get what you pay for". Don't waste your money.

These shoes are very bad quality, after having them for only two weeks the sole of one of them ripped off so now I can't wear them

I bought these boots for my son in March. By June the heels / sole were coming loose. Big holes in the heels. Now (the end of June) they are no longer wearable. He did wear the most of the time and does a lot of walking. They may be ok for a once in a while non working just going out boot. But absolutely terrible as an everyday boot for anyone who is active.

Buyer beware. These boots have hollow heels which crush easily after a couple wears. This will eventually tear your boots open and they'll look awful. Good luck getting support from the seller too. I contacted them months ago with no response whatsoever.
