Women's Boots Stores | Western, Work, Hiking, Rain & Sheepskin Boots

Boots are the most varied category in women's footwear: a cowboy boot, a hiking boot and a rain boot share a name and almost nothing else, because each is engineered for a different job. This directory lists women's boot retailers across all of those families — western and handmade cowboy boots, work and safety boots, hiking boots, military boots, rain boots and sheepskin boots. Names in the listings range from BootBarn.com for western and work boots and HikingBoots.com, dedicated to outdoor footwear from brands including Asolo, Columbia, Lowa and Vasque, to Hunter for rain boots, Sorel for waterproof winter footwear, and Dunham, whose bootmaking roots go back to 1885 in Brattleboro, Vermont. Two categories have their own store pages in this section — women's rain boot stores and women's sheepskin boot stores, both linked from here. The listings come first, followed by how the boot families differ and how boot fit works.

Western, Work and Hiking Boots

Western boots are built around a pointed or rounded toe, an angled heel and a tall shaft, in leather that ranges from everyday cowhide to the exotic alligator, lizard and ostrich leathers of the handmade makers in this directory. Work boots are bought to a standard instead: safety toes, puncture-resistant soles and waterproof membranes for sites, farms and workshops — check the rating your work requires before choosing a style. Hiking boots support the ankle and stiffen the midsole for rough ground, and the specialist outdoor retailers listed here stock the full range from light day hikers to backpacking boots. Fashion boots — Chelsea boots, riding boots, heeled ankle boots — trade that engineering for silhouette, and most women's boot shopping starts by deciding which of these families the boots are actually for.

Rain Boots and Sheepskin Boots

Rain boots, covered on their own store page linked from here, are moulded waterproof from sole to top: Hunter, listed in this directory, sells women's rain boots direct, alongside its outerwear and accessories. Height is the main choice — tall wellingtons for fields and flooded paths, ankle boots for city rain. Sheepskin boots, also on their own page, insulate with real shearling fleece that moulds to the foot: Sheepskin Chic, listed here, imports Koalabi Australia sheepskin footwear to the UK, made from A-grade double-faced Australian sheepskin with EVA soles. Both categories size differently from leather boots: rain boots run generous for thick socks, and sheepskin linings compress with wear, so a snug first fit is usually right.

Boot Fit and Construction

Cowboy and leather boots should slip slightly at the heel when new — the sole flexes and the slip disappears as the boot breaks in — while the instep should hold the foot firmly; a boot that is loose at the instep will never fit well. Calf fit is the variable dress shoes never raise: standard, wide-calf and stretch-panel shafts all exist, and tall boots should be tried sitting and standing. Welted construction, where the sole is stitched to a welt, allows resoling and years of extra life; cemented soles are lighter and cheaper but usually final. Try boots late in the day, in the socks or tights you will wear with them, and walk on a hard floor, not just carpet. The specialist retailers in this directory can advise on all of these points, which is the advantage of a boot store over a general shoe rack.

Common Questions

Where are the specialist rain and sheepskin boot stores?

On their own pages in this section: the women's rain boot stores page and the women's sheepskin boot stores page, both linked from this directory.

Should new leather boots slip at the heel?

A slight heel slip is normal in new cowboy and leather boots and disappears as the sole flexes with wear. The instep, not the heel, is what should hold firmly from the start.

What is the difference between welted and cemented boots?

Welted boots have the sole stitched to a welt, so a cobbler can resole them and extend their life for years. Cemented soles are glued, lighter and cheaper, but generally cannot be replaced.
