Herbert's Boots and Western Wear

For decades, the name Herbert's has been synonymous with western boots and clothing in Ontario. The story began in 1958, when Herbert and Ilse Elsner purchased a shoe repair shop in Alliston, Ontario. With a focus on quality footwear and exceptional service, they built a reputation that laid the foundation for what Herbert's Boots and Western Wear is today.

In 1987, Herbert and Ilse's son, Dieter, and his wife, Cathy, took the reins, expanding the business to include Ontario's largest selection of western boots, apparel, and hats. Over the years, Herbert’s Boots has grown to offer not only western wear but also a wide range of safety boots and apparel, hiking boots, motorcycle gear, jackets, chaps, and even sandals like Birkenstocks. The business has continued to thrive, thanks to a commitment to quality products and a customer-first approach.

Today, the legacy lives on with Dieter and Cathy’s children, Kurt, Karl, and Erika, who have brought fresh ideas while maintaining the traditional, old-fashioned service that customers have come to know and love. With two convenient locations just an hour north of Toronto and only 25 minutes apart, Herbert's Boots and Western Wear is easily accessible for those seeking the best in western and work apparel.

Although both locations strive to keep a wide variety of items in stock, availability may vary. Customers are encouraged to call ahead if they are looking for something specific, ensuring a smooth shopping experience.
