I highly recommend Bootmaster. Great people to deal with. Thanks Helen for getting me into some awesome Lucchese boots and a Stetson El Patron hat. read more

I bought my first cowgirl boots here. There was a large selection of different brands and colours. They have boots, hats and accessories. I didn't know what to look for in a cowgirl boots but the owner of the store was so helpful. The service was great and I enjoyed my shopping experience. I'm loving my boots! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I was in Nashville TN and looking for a great Western felt hat. I found the right style (Stetson "Diamond Jim"), but I could not find the right size. I left feeling frustrated, but when I returned to my hotel and I searched online, I found the model, size, and colour I was looking for right at home at BootMaster. I ordered the hat online and it was waiting for me when I returned home. Fits great and looks even better. I have been a customer since the late 1980s. read more

I have an compulsive habit of finding certain clothing items and obsessing over them until I either cave in and buy it or seek professional help. This time it was a pair of Frye boots that cost $380 and in Toronto were only sold at Bootmaster. I would call and see if they had my specific obsession in stock. They told me they didn't but they had a similar pair. I went in several times and stared and stared at them. I never bought them, I never even tried them on because I knew I wouldn't be able to leave without buying them and then I'd have to explain to my landlord why I was trying to pay my rent in air miles. Anyway, Bootmaster has a HUGE selection of boots - frye boots are definitely their more modern and in my opinion, more stylish boots. But they also have a ton of authentic cowboy boots, which you'll discover when you walk in the store and are pummelled in the face with that beautiful smell of fresh leather. The people working there were always really helpful (on the phone or in person) and if I had the money, I would definitely give them my business. If you want a pair of well-made, stylish and beautiful boots, I recommend you check out the Frye line they sell here (apparently they're the only Ontario retailer). And if you see the knee-high Veronica slouch boots, tell them I say hi. read more

I love Bootmaster. The selection of quality footwear is such a gas; I like to walk in every few months just to be surrounded by so much creative, quality footwear. The owners have always been patient, enthusiastic and sincere when answering my questions or showing me boots. I bought a pair of sharkskin boots here two years ago, and got this beautiful ostrich pair earlier this week. Ive already gotten a ton of compliments on these babies! Check this place out just to be inspired. read more

I came here 20 years to buy boots and it has not changed! I love this place! Nick asked what exactly I was looking for and as if he knew brought up a pair of boots that I should have bought but how could I was literally there for 2 minutes in the store. So I tried on more. And although i kept coming back to the first and to tell you the truth I am still thinking of them...I bought another style and have been loving them! Gorgeous boot. Hand made, full of awesomeness! I am ready for my trip to Houston! And yes people, I got the Boxing Day deal! Totally recommend this place. Love Nick and Helen! read more

I owned a pair of cowboy boots years ago. Recently, I saw a colleague of mine wearing a pair and thought they looked pretty cool. So I thought I would re-examine purchasing a pair for myself. I wanted to find something unique and not your standard pair and I stumbled upon Bookmaster on Yonge Street. I must say, I was very impressed, not only by the selection of boots but also by the assistance I received while shopping in the store. Yes, I ended up buying a pair. I'm certain they'll live up to the reputation of being very comfortable. I highly recommend dropping by Bootmaster if you're in the market for a great pair of cowboy boots and great service. read more

Was in here on a whim last weekend because my old pair o Chippewas were falling apart and was shocked to find a retailer of my brand in the city. When I went in the place looked awesome! Totally felt like I stepped out of Toronto and into someplace else. The mystique and aroma of fresh leather was fantastic. Woman at the front desk (possibly the owner/manager) was very friendly and helpful. I ended up buying a pair of Frye harness boots instead of Chippewas because they were on sale. The quality seems very high. Although the prices are high the quality of everything strikes you that whatever you buy will last at least a decade read more

i thought this was an awesome store. you feel like everything in it is of a strong quality from the boots to the jackets to the traditional cowboy shirts. as should be expected, their selection of cowboy boots is vast. they have boots in leather and furthermore in that category are very detailed, bold and funky styles (that i would guess would be more for the women than men, but hey no ones judging, and who cares). they also have a wide display of motorcycle boots, ones that go up to just below the knee and others that just rid above the ankle. i think cowboy boots are pretty cool, and it might be one of the few things i think i couldnt pull off - or maybe theyd just be horrible for my feet, but if thats what you need this SURELY is the place. i found their display of shirts and leather jackets were impressive as well, and with all the interest in vintage clothing, and funkier styles of shirts a good ol' cowboy shirt can fit in perfectly (as long as youre not wearing chaps). i wish i may i wish i might but i dont ever think i could walk the streets here with a cowboy hat, though id love to get one one day and they also do well on that count (at least from a non-cowboys perspective.) though it does seem kinda funny to see a store such as this in toronto, it is necessary and perfect and a great spot for those who have stronger ties to these types of looks. but im sure theyve been here a billion times before. read more

As a first time cowboy boot buyer I had many questions. The staff here are 'extremely' knowledgeable and friendly. The selection there is AMAZING. The prices are good also. I will definitely come back here to buy again. I'm not a 'traditional' cowboy boot wearer but I had always liked the styling and have heard multiple times that after the short break-in period they are extremely comfortable. When I tried my first pair, 'WOW' it's so true as the boots have built in arch support. I could tell that these would be great for my feet and they are. Look forward to wearing these and other styles for years to come. read more

Bootmaster is a great store for women too! I found the perfect pair of stylish, black cowgirl boots at Bootmaster Here's my story: I've been looking high and low for a new pair of cowgirl boots since my old pair just weren't cutting it any more. It has been a four month search. A month ago, I got a pair online from the DSW shoe site, and I wouldn't recommend doing that to anyone else. Unless you actually go to a store, try on the boots, write down the name of the brand, style, and remember your boot size (in that style), you will be like a fool parting with your money ordering boots online. The same probably goes for shoes. You see, I think whoever put those cowgirl boots up on DSW decided to do a little fudging and photoshoping to make the boots appear more tailored. Meanwhile a smaller calved, and smaller ankled girl like myself went ahead and ordered the boots. When they arrived, not only was I swimming in them because they were a size too big, but they were sort of greyish in colour and cheap looking. So then I decided, maybe a shoe and boot alteration shop in Toronto could alter them to fit my calves and ankles. I researched Shoe Therapy on Yelp, checked out their website, sent some emails back and forth, and went in last week to have my new fangled cowgirl boots altered. It wasn't to be, because the "Master Repairer" said I would not be happy with the results. What exactly that meant I didn't know because I had some trouble understanding him due to the language barrier. Needless to say, I wasted my time and got my hopes up for nothing when I could have just sent the person I was corresponding with some pictures in an email. Not to be discouraged, I thought the Liberty Boot Company in Toronto could make me a new pair of cowgirl boots based on my old cowgirl boots. After a few emails, it was very apparent they were not interested in doing business in Toronto (even though they are based in Toronto) and would rather hock their wares online, and advertise all the celebs wearing their expensive and oversized boots (Taylor Swift for example). If I didn't make it clear enough, I personally don't adore oversized (genuine) cowgirl boots. I'm more into the kiss the ankles, caress the calves, sexy, leather, fashionable off the ranch boots. So finally, in my quest to obtain the cowgirl boots I wanted before a certain date, I walked into Bootmaster on 609 Yonge Street in Toronto. Now this store has been open in Toronto for 26 years, but the last time I walked in there I was a teenager and couldn't afford the prices. Seeing the store again was a lovely experience. A modern establishment with an attractive presentation of items, and smelling of rich leather. Ladies you know that excited feeling that takes you over when you see footwear after footwear that you love in one place? Well, that was the feeling I got. I was served by Helen who has been at the helm for 22 yrs. After trying on a few pairs of the boots mostly by Old Gringo (apparently that is my style) I was presented with my ultimate purchase. These luscious pair of handcrafted boots are exactly what I was looking for, and they fit like a glove in all the right places, thus ending my quest for the perfect black cowgirl boots. I highly recommend Bootmaster as the place for fashionable women's cowgirl boots, and for stylish men's cowboy boots in Toronto. There is no need to go anywhere else. The boots are not cheap ($300 and up), but look what cheap gets you? Besides, I had a preview of what is coming in the next few weeks in the store, and ladies you have never seen any cowgirl boots like these. Ever! read more

Helen and her husband are awesome. I set out to get my first cowboy hat and Helen made sure I got the hat that looked the best on me and made sure to stay within my budget. Not once was I ever made to feel pressured to buy something- but she took her time and handed me 5 or 6 hats until we found the right one. I walked out with a 4x Bailey Lightning and couldn't be happier. Wish we had something like this back home. read more

Love. The thing that makes a purchase an experience, is being around people who LOVE what they sell. I met the owner of the store when I was searching for a specific pair of Frye boots. She was so patient as I struggled to cram my ridiculous fat feet into the boot. Then she showed me a trick with a plastic bag to get them on easier (which came in handy when drunkingly trying to get my feet back into my boots at a party). Anytime I can recommend this store, I do. And whenever I want another pair of boots, I'll go back here first. Sidenote: Boots are not cheap. I selected moderate as the price range because you will pay what the boots are worth. We're talking quality, kids! But don't expect to walk out with a pair of boots and not drop a few hundred dollars. read more

I went to Bootmaster about 5 years ago and got myself a pair of Frye boots for motorcycling. Helen took great care of me and I still have the boot today and they are like new - great quality/ I had mentioned to my wife on several occasions that we should go so she could see what I had been talking about for years. There are tons of boots to fit any budget and any style from a standard cowboy boot to a very ornate and expensive boots, Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we finally made it with out two daughters and it was awesome. Helen was still there and she was great in helping us find what looked on good on us, fit our personalities and more importantly fit our feet. We bought three pairs of boots and we are all supremely satisfied with the quality and the service. having been in retails for many years I cannot express how great Helen is in making you feel special and knowing what you should be wearing. Great customer service is a dying art so Helen - thank you so much!!!! Highly recommend!! Cool to find an "old western" feel type of store in downtown Yonge Street. read more

I always had good memories from this store. I bought many hats, boots and coats. Just now I was there, the owner, she was not treating me well. Never will go again. read more

I purchased my first pair of cowboy boots on Saturday. Helen and her husband were fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They couldn't have been more helpful. It was a great experience. I will recommend them to all my friends. read more

Incredible customer service - the kind you don't see often these days. I will absolutely be a repeat customer. Highly recommended.

I've spent a significant amount of time this past year checking out boot retailers in the GTA and surrounding area. I keep coming back to Bootmaster for all the reasons one would expect. First class selection in a great number of styles and colours , excellent pricing and without doubt, the best customer service around. If you're new to buying quality boots, you can rest assured that Bootmaster will go the extra mile in helping you understand the differences and finding the best fit and style for you. read more
