This place is great! A real hidden gem on Pima street, bright yellow and green building , can't miss it! The guy that owns/ runs it is really sweet and helpful. Great selection of boots but my favorite is the leather belts. If you are looking for a QUALITY and ACTUALLY LEATHER Belt for a good value.. this is your stop! Belts are 35$/40$ ish and it will last! Support local and check it out! read more

I am a visitor in Tucson and wanted to purchase a pair of boots. I'm so happy that I found this amazing store. In the past, I've had trouble finding boots that fit me properly and now I realize that was because the sales person did not take the extra time and effort to measure both feet properly and then bring a number of boots in my size to let me find the one that was most comfortable. There was no rush and the selection was excellent. The owner who was a salesman has an amazing knowledge of boots and explain the differences to me. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants a new pair of boots Paul Hart. read more

We received exceptional service when we walked into the boot bunkhouse. Don't let the outside of the building and surrounding area deter you. The gentleman working there is very friendly and loves to talk. He is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. We were able to find a new pair of boots and receive a little history lesson at the same time. If you want a personalized boot shopping experience this is your place read more

Wonderful experience! Chuck, the Store Keep, is amazingly knowledgeable about all things boots. Great selection of styles and sizes. Chuck doesn't even seem to be trying to sell anything. He's just happy to answer any questions and opine about fit, leathers, quality, history or inside information about brands and the industry. He's happy and he'll make you happy. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic and very knowledgeable service with a great range of boots from used to top end. Excellent fitting service. Couldn't recommend higher. read more

Boot Bunkhouse is a little place with a surprisingly decent selection of cowboy boots. I met A there at lunch because she is bound and determined to find the perfect pair of boots because really, every girl needs a pair of fashion cowboy boots. It's a comfortable shopping environment and the owner is helpful with just the right amount of fun and sarcasm to make your experience unique from bigger stores with less personality. He brought out the two pair A wanted to try on as well as a few other pair he thought she might like based on her previous selection. Prices are consistent with other local stores selling similar merchandise. Unfortunately, A didn't LOVE anything today although she liked quite a few. But when you're spending a couple hundred dollars on boots, I think you need to LOVE them. We were told when it is best to come back to see all the new women's fashion boots later in the year as they arrive from designers and manufacturers. So we'll be back after summer is over to find something new, fashionable and gorgeous. read more

Boot Bunkhouse - I know, I know - it's not a pair of boots but I thought this was hilarious decor - Shoe Stores Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great store. The owner insisted I not settle for "good enough." He kept bringing boots until we found the perfect pair. I learned I'm a "round toe guy in a square toe world." read more

Chuck at Boot Bunkhouse was super friendly and helpful. We are always looking for interesting boots to add to our collection. You will not be disappointed by his wide selection of boots! The store is spacious and very nice inside. He makes you feel right at home. Chuck made us a great deal on 3 pairs of boots. We are so glad we stopped by there today! read more

Absolutely worth five stars. And I didn't purchase boots. Based on Yelp reviews, I took my destroyed feet to Boot Bunkhouse, hoping to get a pair of Western boots that I could tolerate for an hour or two. Chuck listened to my tale and said that only one brand of boot would possibly work. He carries only one model of that brand and was out of my size. But he measured my feet and told me what to get. And then he recommended that I go to a competitor, where there would be a much larger selection. He even spoke well of this competitor, saying they would know how to fit these unfortunate feet. Unheard-of service, genuine care for the customer. Start here. read more

I stopped by to get a pair of cowboy boots. I have not been a big fan of cowboy boots, but a recent personal event made me reconsider. After doing a quick search on Yelp, I decided to give a shot at Boot Bunkhouse. An elderly gentleman (I assume the best, until proven otherwise...Sorry Chuck!) greets you in a casual but helpful way. Chuck is eager to present you with all options in boots and he provides guidance without being pushy. He was helpful and got me 10+ pairs of boots to try on. In addition to his customer serivie, there is another reason for buying shoes from him. As long as you don't have wear the boots outside (showing wear), you can return within 30 days. This is a great policy for those of us who may want to take these home and ponder the consequences. Here is a bit I found oit about the owner, Chuck. First of all, I think he is an example of what makes this country great. America is the only country I know where hard work is rewarded without prejudice. We root for hard workers and we root for the underdogs. (Sometimes, I do feel we pull for the unqualified undeserving underdogs, but I digress.) Chuck shared with me how he started with a small amount of money. He drove to El Paso to buy the boots and came to Tucson and sold them at the fairs and markets for profit. He kept driving back and forth to El Paso to Tucson in his truck to keep making a little more. After decades, he has his own store; It is not fancy, but it is a wonderful homely place, a symbol of Americana. Chuck is an example of what hardwork can do. Rather than waiting for a handout, this man went to make something great with his blood and sweat. Let's root for Chuck and others who believe that we can still make it with a little bit of ingenuity, a lot of perseverance, and hard work. Go see him if you need a pair of boots. ============ My Ratings ============ 4 stars - excellent experience and recommend highly (this is the highest rating for the 1st visit) 3 stars - above average experience and recommended 2 - definitely below average. Competition is tough. This place needs to step up. 1 - so...how are you still in business?? 5 stars - only reserved for sustaining a high level of excellence. You are the best of breed! Congratulations!!! read more

Boot Bunkhouse - Come back soon Chuck!! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Awesome, read the reviews and stopped by. Walked out with two pair of great fitting boots and a hat. Fitment is perfect! Thanks

My son in laws both bought boots from this unique shop in Tucson. The shop owner was awesome and extremely knowledgeable about sizing and fit. There must have been 40 pairs of boots on the floor after trying them all on for comfort read more

Although I haven't shopped there in 10 years I look forward to returning soon. I enjoyed dealing with the owner. He was knowledgeable and helpful. It's the best place I've found for Nacona boots. The guy took a 10 year old pair of Nocona bullhide boots I was wearing and made them look like new. I am happy to see that they are still open and look forward to buying my next 3 pair of Nocona boots from the Boot Bunkhouse. Yes, I am a Bboot whore. read more

Just stop looking now. This is the only place to look for cowgirl (or cowboy) boots in Tucson. Chuck is the Boot Whisperer. He's been selling boots for decades and knows every brand, every size, every style and every foot. He calls Luccheses "Lou-crazies", will tell you all about Tony Lama and swear to you that elk is the sweetest leather you'll ever wear. And. He's. Right. I walked in to Boot Bunkhouse in a severe depression, having tried on some Lucchese boots on the other side of town and found them not only way overpriced but an uncomfortable fit. Enter Chuck. The shop is hot. He uses fans and if there's an air-conditioner there I think it's only in the warehouse, where he runs frequently to bring in more pairs of boots. Let him cater to you. He knows your boot sense better than you do. read more

Chuck is extremely knowledgeable about boots, materials, styles, manufacturers, and fit. He is also very funny, in a curmudgeonly way. Bought a great pair of comfortable boots. They also have a good selection of straw/palm hats and accessories for western wear. Only place I'll shop for my western needs. read more

Why do people in sales think it's a good idea to be condescending to their customers. As I'm browsing, an elderly man approaches me and asks what I am looking for. I replied that I didn't know and he retorts with "You don't know?" and held an arrogant smirk. Now, in the big scheme of the things this is minor but what happened to sales people offering help? Rather than standing there with a smirk, he should have asked "What occasion will you be wearing the boots?", "Have you had cowboy boots before?" This experience suggests that the western wear crowd has gone the way of the golf and skiing communities where newcomers are ridiculed and mocked. Boot Bunkhouse will not get my money! read more

Boot Bunkhouse is THE BEST boot store in Tucson or anywhere else that I've been for that matter. Chuck is amazing. He's so knowledgeable about boots, friendly, and extremely low pressure. He makes you feel right at home in his store as well and gives you an education in proper boot fit and more! I've been wearing boots 16+ years and come to find out, I've been wearing the wrong size all along... Chuck took the time to explain to me what my proper size is, and even though my actual size is not readily available off the rack, he had a couple pairs in stock. I couldn't believe I needed a bigger, but narrower boot, but once I tried on a pair he pulled from his stockroom, I was a believer! I was in a bit of shock over finding out I had been looking at the wrong size all along, so I thought about it overnight, and went back to next morning to buy a perfect fitting pair of boots! Well worth your time to go to Boot Bunkhouse, you won't regret the experience! Also, his prices are competitive and has a broad selection. If you don't see something you like on the rack, tell him what you want, and he'll find it in his stockroom! Thanks Chuck! read more

Owner openly fat shamed a customer bc she asked if he had a size 10W. He rudely called her fat and told her there was "no way" she would ever find a boot to fit. This is not acceptable behavior! read more

Chuck is as knowledgeable as they come. We were there looking for boots optimized for dancing, and Chuck provided several options at more-than-reasonable prices. Not only does he have many great options in stock, he provides several other ways to get exactly what you want. He will be direct shipping a pair from the manufacturer for my wife, and I'll be ordering a custom made pair based on Chuck's recommendations. From daily wear working cowboy boots to the fashion boot everyone seems to want these days.....Chuck is your man!! read more

I bought my first pair of boots here in 1990. Now, I have 4 kids and a husband that are always in need of boots. I found the other shops in town and in Phoenix didn't want to take the time to help me find boots that fit the kids. Book Bunkhouse took the time, measured the kids - 3 were wide and 1 was a narrow measure. No wonder theur boots never fit! Now they do fit and they live in their boot rather than complain about them! read more

Chuck told me I was wearing the wrong size boot. So he ordered me a pair in the size I needed according to him. They came in way too big, he put in a leather insole and told me I had to wear heavy socks with them. I told him that they were still too big, he said take them and wear them. So I did. After I wore them 2 times, I went back and he said I will have them remade. After 6 months he says I cant find anyone to remake them. I will clean the sole up and try and sell them for you. Those boots never came out of the box. So now I have a pair of 400 dollar boots that he sized and are at least a size to big. Shame on me for believing he knew what he was doing when he sized my foot. Beware, when you ask a question and don't get an answer. That's what he did to me! read more

Love this place just bought my 4th pair of boots from Chuck been going here for the past 10 years or so. This is a true mom and pa boot house read more

If you are looking for a pair of boots, this is the place to come. Great service a huge selection and guidance beyond any other. Chuck knows more about boots and fit than anyone. Trust me! I live in the SF Bay Area, and this is my go to place for boots! read more

Chuck is the best to help you find the right boot and size. He knows his business so try him out!! He is the best!!!

Best boot store that I have seen in a very long time. Chuck has a great amount of experience with boots. He is by far the most knowledgeable person I have met in western boots. He was actually able to measure my foot correctly and has unusual sizes, including some that fit me properly. If you are serious about boots, this is the place to go. read more

Just bought a pair of boots here. Even though it's almost summer, and apparently the wrong season to buy boots, the store has a really nice selection of good quality, top brand boots. DON'T GO TO THE BOOT BARN! Instead, visit the Bunkhouse, get yourself properly measured, and check out the wide variety of boots. Once he knows what you're looking for, Chuck will pull out a tower of boxes and will keep at it until you've found the perfect pair. Loved this place! read more

I needed some work boots, went in to find comfortable, long wear, at any expense. Chuck measured me up and before I knew it, had me in a 10 wide, which I never knew I wore. He is the best shoe man I have ever met. I must have steel toe, my whole life has been a painful workday, has always rubbed big toes, and at the end of a workday, couldn't wait to get my boots off. Now Chuck has set me straight on what size I need, and I never even know I'm wearing steel toes. I am upper middle aged person and have been sized many times in my life, never have been measured properly by umpteen salesmen that didn't know what they were doing. Finally after many years of regretting having to wear boots that hurt my feet, Chuck has me loving my boots again. It is a joy to go here to see what customer service is all about, selling you what you need, in a comfortable setting with a fun, experienced owner, that really cares what he is selling you. Making sure you have the right boot that fits your need is what Chuck lives for. If you want a good fitting boot, with some great stories to share, please give the Boot Bunkhouse a shot, you wont be disappointed. The best in the business is always a joy to see is still around to sell what you need and not what they want to sell you. Get well soon Chuck, will be in to hear about your latest whitewater adventure. What a man that I am proud to know. read more

I stopped in hoping for a great pair of quality boots. Unfortunately the gentleman I presume to be the owner was less than attentive. After waiting about 45 minutes for him to help another customer I sat down waiting for him to finish. He finished his sale and said he wasn't sure how to help me so he walked by and went to help someone who just walked in. It took me weeks to free up the time to stop in and I had my mind set on leaving with a great pair of boots. Worst customer service experience I have had in a very long time. Needless to say, I'm buying elsewhere. read more
