Boot Star

Most of what I want to say is what everyone else has already said: The store has a great selection, smells awesome, Xavier is amazing, etc. Five stars!
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
I’ll also add, to those for whom (like me) it is important, this place is supremely accessible. If you use a wheelchair, there is 1) a large parking lot right behind the store, with several disabled bays; 2) a very level path from the lot to the front door; and 3) no steps leading into the store. Double five stars!

that was promptly answered by Xavier. I knew the style I wanted but was unsure of the size or color. I was actually replacing something similar that I used to have and wanted again quite badly. He answered all of my annoying questions and steered me towards the right style, size and color. They arrived today and I couldn’t be happier.
Choices on the Internet are virtually unlimited these days. What separates those who offer from those who sell is customer service, rapport and knowledge. Price is important but, contrary to conventional wisdom, it’s not everything.
Thank you again, Xavier. I will be back and so will my friends.

Best place to buy boots in all of California. See Javier who knows anything and everything about boots, leather, socks, sizing and anything else. More importantly, he provides awesome customer service. Every time I’m in a town I come here to buy boots. The only place that can compare would be Allens Boots because of their selection is bigger but they are located in Austin, Texas. The place would have 6 stars if they played satanic country music while you were shopping!

The best Boot Store in town and maybe in the world. A great selection of good quality handemade boots. The staff is more then helpfull and friendly, they know their boots right down to the last detail.
If you are looking for the perfect boot this is the place to go !

staff was helpful and patient in finding me the perfect pair of boots for my horseback riding trip. I opted for the fringe pair on their website. they have tons of styles with a range of prices. high quality boots, great staff. i recommend.

Of course I found Boot Star on Unilocal and once again, am very pleased that I did. I wanted to get Jonnie a spiffy pair of cowboy boots for Christmas, so Patriot (our pup) & I decided to pop on in one weekend.
Staff is awesome and friendly (even let Patriot snoop around, sensing his boredom). I had more of a vintage style in mind and the gentleman who helped me was very knowledgeable, pulling styles from the back room, as if they didn’t have enough of a great selection from the floor to choose from! He even tried several of them on for me to help get a better idea of what they look like with jeans pulled over them. After much indecision, I finally chose a lizard skinned pair of Lucchese!
Christmas Day and Jonnie was not only surprised, but super pumped about about his new kicks!
Thanks Boot Star! Now alls I need are those vintage red Ol’ Gringos for ma self! We shall return ;)

I’ve always loved this cute little boot shop for years! It has one hell of a location in West Hollywood (lucky dogs!!!) so it gets great drive-​by advertising.
I purchased a couple of boots from them and they are absolutely adorable and I received compliments on them for years!
However, as of late… I’m eyeing those Balman boots I saw @ Gregory’s.

I’ve driven by Boot Star probably a thousand times and never gone in until this weekend.
While I do have a pair of cowboy boots, I save them for western themed parties. I went in to have a pair of boots stretched and I have to say I am seriously considering ordering a custom pair of «cowboy» boots. I put cowboy in parentheses because I would have mine with a round toe so that they’d look less western and more LA…
I love that for a custom pair they’ll measure your feet, legs, etc so that the boots will fit like a glove. You can really see the quality in the boots they have. Great materials and really nice leather.
I seriously doubt I’d get boots elsewhere, especially because for roughly the same price, you can get a pair that will last you over a decade.

I had been looking for a cool pair of vintage cowboy boots for quite some time when I happened upon this little shop. It is hidden in a ghetto, er um, not-​very-​alluring strip mall on Sunset strip and I would have missed had it not been for the botched U-​turn I needed to make. Inside the unpretentious western boot store had walls lined with gorgeous handmade cowboy boots. Hand painted, snake skin, armadillo, stingray, embroidered, and just about anything else you would want to find in a cowboy boot. The store attendant was very helpful and non pushy. I was headed towards the airport, so I was dressed in some laid back nike fitness pants and plain T-​shirt which is often an easy way to visually signal a store clerk to ignore you unless of course you are accompanied by a couple body-​guards and insist on wearing your sunglasses in the dimly lit boutique. Nevertheless the guy working here was very nice and helpful. I found a beautiful pair of boots, and a couple cool belts. Great selection and cool vibe and now I finally have my boots that I have had on my wish list for the past 7 years.

Boyfriend has been obsessed with finding the perfect pair of cowboy boots for the last two weeks. Every time I see him on the iPhone or computer, he’s looking at boots. That search finally ended this afternoon.
Walking into this store can be a little intimidating, okay WAY intimidating. There are a lot of high-​end, good quality boots here. Everything is either made in the U.S. or Mexico. The service at first felt a little cold, but once you start trying stuff on these guys are awesome. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. Boyfriend walked away with his dream pair of boots and I managed to snag a pair myself.
Found a pair of Frye boots on sale for $ 199. Online they sell for $ 325. I was a little hesitant at first because one boot seemed a little darker than the other. Turns out they put a little mink oil and it evened out well. Javier even helped pull the boot off for me :)
Highly recommended if you’re looking for high quality stuff.
Did I mention there’s free parking behind the store? Such a rarity on the Sunset Strip.

knowledgeable staff.
great selection.
can get custom boots made if you want.
looking forward to my next pair.

i’m probably not adding anything new here. You’re gonna get some bad-​ass boots and first-​rate customer service in exchange for a bunch of money. I just got my Old Gringo Black and Tan Elvis’ and I like ‘em so much I wanna sleep in ‘em.

If you’re young, rich, and home-​on-​the-​rangerous — or just want to play the part — you’ve got to have sexy boots to tell the world, «I WILL make cowboy boots in a club HAPPEN.»
– or maybe you just want stylish Wyatt Earp kicks to wear while line, polka, pole or cubicle dancing.
Yipee-​ki-​way to GO shorty — at Boot Star, it’s your birthday!
Whatever your motive (you’re planning to wear them in bed, aren’t you), Boot Star will turn your feet into Rodeo [Drive] headliners — for between $ 250 and $ 3000, so it might as well be your birthday because that’s an awfully big present to yourself!
But so what? Don’t pay your cell phone bill for a month or so or five, gorgeous — you deserve to look good. In boots like these, all the people you would have called will come to YOU, whether you dial them up or not.
Don’t expect to find those sleek, thigh-​high Prada boots you saw in French Vogue here, though. Everything at Boot Star is strictly Western — usually leather, often covered in snakeskin or in the pelts of wild, exotic animals who probably never dreamed they would one day grow up to become shoes, instead of growing up to mate at will and walk around naked.
(Actually, I’m not so sure about the «wild animal pelts» thing…)
What I AM sure of, though, is that both men and women can shop here — you can get various accessories, too, like belts and Western tops. Sizes tend to run kind of baggy, so it will help if you have a good tailor or have a good appetite to fill out that gingham rancher’s shirt.
Service is okay, if not terribly enthusiastic — they know the boots (available in styles ranging classic brown to «God, I’m Such a Tool» Ed Hardy-​ish crap) will sell themselves, usually sliding onto the pampered feet of those who will never come closer to the Old West than a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Speaking of which, Pink Dot Liquor is next door.
Sip Bacardi like it’s your birthday, sexy.

I love being the bad ass who wears boots! This store has many expensive styles for you to look awesome in as well as some shirts and accessories.
The store uses all sorts of leathers from various countries. They serve men and women.
I wanted to wear the boots I tried out but I realized it would mean no lunch for weeks.

How many Asian guys do you know would buy or let alone wear boots?
Well, you got one! Years, I mean years ago, my girl I was dating at the time bought me boots. Not normal boots, but cowboy boots. She even threw in the tight wranglers. We even went to a Garth Brooks concert.
Walking in this store reminded me how red-​neck I was. But gosh darn it, these boots are so much better looking than before. But wait, $ 2500 for a pair. I would love to owe you someday, but right now, I can buy so much more other things that one pair of shoes. I will be back. Hopefully, the clearance items will be bigger. I’m a size ten if anyone ask. I also know someone who also like a pair, he’s a size seven. lol.
