Real Boots, Real Fit
Five generations of families have walked out of our doors in the boots that carried them through the work, the ride, and the miles. Browse the full lineup below, then come try them on.
A boot store doesn't last 150 years by selling boots. It lasts by fitting them.
The man behind the counter would rather lose a sale than fit you wrong.
Anyone can hand you a box. At Schafer Leather, Rob Schafer will watch you walk in it. He'll press the toe, check the heel slip, and tell you the truth: whether that boot fits, whether it will break in right, or whether the pair you should really take home is sitting two shelves down.
That's what a boot store looked like in 1867, when this one opened its doors on Front Street. Work boots for the fields and the rigs. Western boots for the ride and the dance floor. Casuals, sandals, and first pairs for kids who will outgrow them by fall. Five generations of families have bought their boots here, and most of them were fitted by a Schafer.
The boots below are on our shelves right now. Find the pair that catches your eye, then come let us fit it to you.
Watch Rob stretch a boot the way it's been done here for a century.
Snug at the instep? Tight across the ball? Bring them in. Stretching, conditioning, and honest fit advice happen at the counter, not in a call center.
