The Wild West Store

I am the proud owner of 2 pairs of boots from the Boot Whisperer. I would say the only way you will get a bad fitting pair of boots is if you dont follow her recommendation. I have the most painful feet and never believed that I could be comfortable in anything but Dansko’s and Birkenstocks. Ulli hooked me up 2x with the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. When I get back to Austin, i will absolutely rent a car to drive to Wimberly.

We called ahead, described our goal (swanky wedding boots!), and were told to hustle. The Boot Whisperer is German, and she embodies most stereotypes — clipped, efficient, and not in the mood to deal with people who want to waste her time. But very sweet if you really have your heart set on buying boots and taking the time to try them out. Maybe that’s «ornery»? We liked it, because she sized up my man’s feet and brought him the right boots, then brought him a series of wrong boots, to let him get the feel for how boots can vary. She wouldn’t advise him to buy the cheaper ones that wouldn’t stretch out. And she said we had to run them outside into the sunlight, as leather does look different in the Texas heat waves.
Good boots start around $ 200, but plan on at least $ 300 if you want to have some fun. Might be looking at a good anniversary gift when it’s my turn to get boots again!
Cash and check only. No restroom.

She fitted my unusual feet quickly and well. I love my boots.

Ornery. Don’t believe her when she says she can get the boots to stretch to fit. It’s not true — and then when you’ve bought them and they still won’t fit she gets difficult. Won’t even trade for a different size. Stay away.
