Best Place to get Your First Pair! Aside from Boot Barn, I would not know where else to go to that is clean, friendly, and up front. When visiting, it is okay to ask for help and get advice on how to choose a pair of boots. Advice from just about anyone working here will be absolutely helpful. Overall, I find that my best experiences when shopping for shoes is to be proactive and friendly - instead of waiting for someone to come rushing over to greet me and help me. The Boot Barn can be one of those kinds of shops - just like any other place of business can be. You may have to help yourself out here and there, but when you need help - just ask for it. When it comes to boots, however, at Boot Barn everything they have in stock is on the shelf and on the sales floor for any customer to access. What I like the most is the way the store is arranged. If you find a boot that you like, it is usually rather simple to find the boot size on your own and to try it on. There will not be anyone following you around to fetch all sorts of sizes and boot styles for you - and if there is, then that is just a huge plus. Shopping for boots is a very different process than finding sneakers or tennis shoes. 9 times out 10, it is the fit of the boot that matters more than the style, color, or brand of the boot. The most choice you may get is between soft and hard leather, the kind of sole, and the size of the heel the boot may come with. In other words, you may find that color and style of boot... perhaps even a specific brand... but you may just end up choosing the boot that fits comfortably, and it may be a completely different brand that you expected. How do you know how to classify a comfortable fit? Well, ask for advice on choosing a boot and you will learn how. :) Last but not least, they often have nice boots on clearance. A price of a pair of boots may be a small investment, but here - I'd have to say they offer reasonable pricing. Just keep in mind, boots are not inexpensive like shoes purchased at Ross. Last but not least, their returns and exchange policy is more than reasonable. Speaking from experience, I got my first pair of boots at the Boot Barn - and I've been more than happy with them. read more

This Location is very Big compared to the San Dimas store which is where I normally would go. They have a great selection of shoes i was able to find what i was looking for. However, the customer service was not at all professional. They asked way too many times if i needed help and when I finally did need help. They gave me attitude and made me wait for another employee to help, who had an attitude as well. I had a few items to pick out for my family and finally the last person asked if I needed help with anything else and i Said no thank you and continued talking to my husband and she just stood there looking at me then at my stroller and then asked my husband of we were sure we didnt need help with anything else then she stood there still and i thought she was going to ask to hold my items in the front since i had them on top of my stroller but clearly there is no customer service training...she just kept asking questions... at which point I told her that i would be leaving my items in the front so i can finish my converasation with my husband because we still needed a few items. However, like previous reviews say..there are two girls at the front that were reqlly nice and apologized. But yea, not a family friendly store.. read more

I don't know if Boot Barn holds annual meetings to remind their employees to be just helpful enough but not too much, but it seems to be a common trend. They weren't really rude or anything--it's just that some employees didn't seem to know where things were, and a few had a bit of an attitude. But other times I've been here, there were employees--like these two girls I met on a previous visit--who were super jolly, really helpful, and just overall sweet. So yeah, it's kind of a hit or miss depending on who's working when you go in. That being said, this location is huge compared to some of the other Boot Barns I've been to. The selection is great, which is a big plus. Honestly, if you're looking for something from Boot Barn, this place will probably have it. Overall, it was an okay experience. It's one of my favorite locations just because of the size and selection, but when it comes to getting help, it's definitely hit or miss. read more

Boot Barn - These boots only have a 30 day return window if damaged. Why even sell them if the peel so badly after a few times of being worn? - Shoe Stores Near Me - Fontana, California

My first time here , it's a beautiful store with lots of western boots , hats , accessories , jewelries and clothing for adults and children . Clean and well stocked in each aisles . They also have a vast selections of work boots from low tops to high tops , lace and slip on types . Many styles and colors of western cow boy boots for children. A few beautiful patterns designs of women sweaters that caught my eyes . They carry quite a selections for plaid, western and cowboy shirts for men and women as well. For their customer service I didn't hear anyone greeted me as I walk in the door nor anyone acknowledged my presence during my close proximity to the employees . I also observed a young lady patiently waited to inquire about a western boot in her hand . The three employees seems too occupied with their conversations about where to display some articles . They didn't address the young lady for quite some time . My suggestions to the managers . Train the staff to greet and acknowledge the customers with in their reach . A simple hello / welcome to our store and how may I help you . Definitely will make a huge impact . read more

See all

I can't speak to all the other negative reviews here but my visit saw more than satisfactory customer service from nearly everyone in the shop. I was welcomed warmly by everyone, checked on regularly to see if I needed anything, and I did not experience anything like what Some of these other more negative reviews have shared. Perhaps changes have been made? This is probably the biggest, cleanest, nicest boot barn I've ever seen so I would definitely recommend it. read more

Amazing customer service from Fernanda, I will definitely keep coming back she was very helpful and really knowledgeable about the products I was asking for. She answered all my questions, she was a big help in making my decision today thank you until next time. read more

Fabulous service, our you. G man was mistaken about size so he got size measurements . He picked out what he wanted. The style, color and size were found were as desired. The price was in line with what I expected. After we left to get into the car the cashier rushed out to give me me phone I had left at the checkout. read more

BLANCA was the worst. The rest of the employees were very sweet and helpful but Blanca was not helpful at all. I did get there 30 minutes before closing, I needed to try something on and she wasted more time telling me that they were almost closed instead of just letting me try it on. While I was checking out, I accidentally grabbed a kid buckle and she would not let me grab the correct size because it was 7. Yet, other people were still shopping. Not sure what she had against me but people like her should not work for the company if you want to make money. read more

Me recto was an awesome salesman with the type of boot for my husband - Super comfortable and excellent product a for care. I love my Justins also!! Amanda was also helpful in the ladies dept with a really cute sweater. read more

I was happy to see a Boot Barn local to me but the customer service won't have me returning after my experience today. The female employees working there today (10/22/24 at 1pm) were not concerned with providing service or help to myself or other customers. The male employee seemed to want to help as I was walking out, but I shared that I was fine and didn't need further assistance. Do better Boot Barn employees or Boot Barn do better in providing training to your employees on how to care for customers. read more

Went to visit the shop for the first time today and The atmosphere felt unwelcoming from the moment I walked in, and the staff came across as judgmental rather than helpful. I expected friendly service and a welcoming vibe, but instead felt like I didn't belong there the whole time. It's unfortunate, because the store has a great selection -- but the energy and vibes completely ruined the experience. I won't be returning. Please Rachel do not judge someone just of walking in. read more

Went to buy my fist cowboy hat. Jimmy was awesome he was very knowledgeable and patient and took his time giving me different type of hat to try on and left with a beautiful fitted cowboy hat! read more

So came to this location For the first time. They do have lots of boots and nice store. But service is horrible, very rude Not one time did a employee say hey do you need help finding anything Totally don't even acknowledge you at all Or welcome you I won't go to this location again read more

It was a great experience got what I needed and I got helped when asked. One of the better boot barn I've been at.

Boot Barn has great products and high quality boots! Most boots are made in Mexico which in my opinion are the best! There are great for dressing up or everyday use. The clothing is really cute and they have so many styles! The staff are very helpful and consistent in asking if customers need help. They are respectful and considerate. Boot Barn offers a rewards program too so each dollar you spend, you earn points which leads to dollars to spend on future Boot Barn purchases which I really like! I have been a customer since 2010 and I will continue to shop here. read more

I was so happy to see a Boot Barn open up in Fontana. My husband and I have been to this location many times since it opened and the customer service has always been great. The associates are informative, friendly and helpful. They also helped us find an out of stock item at another store. Thank you Boot Barn Fontana, keep up the good work! read more

Manager here sucks,asked for help to find a specific boot and she just told me go look in the size section. Very unhelpful.

Went to this location to find some military style boots but they didn't have any. Even though they didn't have what I was looking for I was really impressed with the selection of merchandise the store offered and the cleanliness of the store. read more

Do not go here they are very rude I came 7:55 before closing time and the lady would not let in to buy Ariat insoles I needed the insoles bad for work the next day never buying boots from here ever again go to the San Bernardino one or Chino read more

Been going there for many years. Nothing much I can say that Boot barn always has the stuff I want no matter what shop I go

Love coming into this store...I was so excited to pick up some boots for my daughters birthday. ...we'll....maybe not today. I made an online purchase and came to pick I up. I asked how I can go about getting a receipt. The cashier I asked wasn't sure (but she politely admitted her lack of knowledge for online purchases)...so she asked for help. I can appreciate people that let you know when they're unsure of something...,we all have learning curves...I get that. The other cashier that she asked. Her name is Bri...wow...SOOOO RUDE....I just asked for a receipt for my purchase...or how I can go about printing it...her response: "what do you need a receipt for....you got a confirmation email, that's all you're going to get". The tone says it all, ladies... read more

We did a lot of Christmas shopping for family at Boot Barn Norco, Chino Hills, and San Dimas this season. We were very excited about the grand opening of Boot Barn Fontana. Love the store, it is a very large store and well stocked. Some of your smaller stores tend to get overcrowded with merchandise and it tends looks messy and becomes really hard to find products, as the isles become too tight. Fontana Boot Barn is clean, the isles are large and open, very impressive Boot selection and clothing selections Many of the start up employees are from other local stores, so it was nice to have a familiar friendly face to help with finding stuff. Great job on the design of the store. Hope you have great success in your new location. Happy New Year 2023. read more

Came in interested in purchasing a straw hat but didn't know my size. Thank you Nathalia for dedicating so much time to helping a boot barn newbie. Nathalia, Blanca, Evelyn, and Sharon made my store visit joyful and provided all the assistance needed from finding a hat size, style, placing an online order and making a final purchase. You ladies are amazing, keep up the good work. Store is absolutely organized, clean, and items are easy to find. And if you can't find something there's a great team to help you. See you again soon!! read more

Had a gentlemen named Grant help me get my boots for my wedding. This guy was incredibly helpful. He showed me the difference between styles and did not felt like he was honest and sincere. It's honestly hard to find customer service as outstanding as his was. I will be returning just off the service I received from him alone. read more

The store itself is really big and nice BUT the costumer service is a giant FAIL. They all have attitudes, nobody's ever at the cash register to check out, they'll leave you standing there for over 10 mins, the girls that work there just walk around instead of asking if you need help they'll just look at you and continue ignoring you. To be honest the whole stores vibe isn't welcoming it makes you want to just leave. I wanted to like the place since it was new and I've been to many boot barns I wanted to see how this one was I've gone three times hoping it was just the days I went that weren't good days for these workers...wrong this one is the absolute worst if your needing help or doing a return/exchange don't waste your time going here. Don't get me started on the manager Maria or whatever her name was she's rude and always has an attitude with her workers or her costumers... read more

It's a very nice store but they have bad customer service . Employee accused me of returning used boots. With all tags were still on bottom of boots were clean. She said they had scuffs on them which could have been from them rubbing in the bag. Had recipes but multiple times she said they don't take used boots, which they were not! read more

I have come to this store since Day 1 Grand Opening. I've been dragging my feet on writing this review hoping to see some change in management. Thier Store Manager Maria Vega should NOT work in retail or be over a team! She has NO tact with her own employees let alone ability to deal with customers. My first interaction with her was her giving a dirty look to a question I had about an item (mind you not knowing her mgmt position), and her looking at me with a really dirty look. Mind you I spend a lot of money in this store. Also, on this first visit she yells across their entrance doors to a team member on the other side to watch a man in work clothing because she profiled him as a thief. Not only was that unprofessional but why if you had ANY concern about someone would you yell it across a 30ft entrance for all to hear? I was just there earlier this week buying Christmas presents and thankfully she wasn't there. I returned the next day due to a in-store pick-up and unfortunately she was. Even though I only had to go to the front counter I yet again hear this woman loud as heck on the walkie-talkie saying something about a customer and the poor customer is there at the counter and can hear her as well. The team member apologized and then the customer asked for her name, corporate # and left the store. She is just not in any form a person to be in leadership. It's quite sad. I have personally seen the mood and behavior of the staff be drastically different with her present (all unpleasant, look miserable & silent), compared to other leadership there and her gone. I happen to ONLY go in if she is not there. I spend top dollar there and absolutely enjoy a few of their associates that help me on most my visits. If she is there, I will make a U-turn out of the store and just not shop. Ironically, there is also a store at Victoria Gardens that carries many of the same brands or items that I also shop at, and sadly they know of her as well. This woman single handedly has given that location here on Sierra Lakes a bad name and its sad. I can drive 3mins to this store or 30mins to another location and I shouldn't need to. read more

Had to get my daughter some steel toe boots for work, she wore them to training.. that was it 1 day 8hr INDOOR. Ok well she said they hurt her feet and yada yada. I paid 157.00 for these boots!! So we go to return them. First Lady said I'd get FULL refund the way I paid! Cash. Fine after look in the crap women's work boot section she found another pair to exchange.. different lady at cashier and a man. Must be a manager or something, idk.. BOTH were rude as hell! Telling me we're not getting anything back , it will go on gift card.. the young cashier was hissing like she was a damn tire losing air. It was a mess until the original lady I spoke with told them I WAS RIGHT! She gave me the difference in cash. Fine. Jus because of this mess I WILL NEVER being doing business with this place. RUDE and needs some customer service training!!! Asap. read more

The manager or whatever she is, her name is Nancy doesn't know how to process a return she looked clueless, also her associate Amber was clueless too. The store manager has to be better at training these employees or should switch store managers. Nancy was really rude and didn't greet me. read more

First time in the store and looking for a new pair of boots for my sister for a Nashville trip. We were having a very difficult time and tried on so many shows but Amanda was so incredibly helpful! She was so patient with us and gave us so many options to choose from. We finally found a pair and were so thankful to Amanda! read more

This place just opened up. Very nice especially since everything is new. But this place has a horrible return/exchange policy. Purchase a belt on 12 /22/2022...used it only twice and the buckle broke at the welds. Came for and exchanged and they didn't have the correct size and "Leslie" couldn't replace just the buckle portion. Belts was still good. She had a very rude attitude and poor customer service. This review could of been avoided if they would have just take care of the customer. Very long lines and they only have 3 registers working. read more

What a joke! Walked in today, multiple employees standing around. Had to ask for help, then the sales person stopped to have a team meeting, told the team how low the store was, within earshot, then decided she needed to take her lunch. Handed me off to another employee who she said "could dress me well." That employee didn't know her products, where they were in the store and when I asked what brand jeans she was wearing she told me she didn't know, she got them at Ross for 10.00. When I even said what a shame you don't can find my style or size, the rest of the employees just stood there, store was empty, wonder why. Put the 198.00 boots in my hands down and left. When to the Orange Boot Barn on Katella. Spent a few hundred, got great service and just what I wanted. Do not waste your time at the Fontana store.. ever! read more

One star for being non size inclusive! This store just opened yesterday and doesn't have a single pair of plus size western jeans. Biggest size they carry in womens jeans is a 14. I did find one cute xxL shyanne kimono. And one xxl belt. But this brand is not true to size. So disappointing... boot barn corporate shame on you for tying to normalize western wear into small sizing only. Plus size western women exist. read more

Horrible customer service. No sense of urgency getting customers through the line and being able to quickly make their purchases. Very slow working employees making customers just want to leave because they take way too long with every purchase & customer. Poor management, woman manager does not know how to properly train her employees to be efficient and make the purchase process enjoyable. I was told I could not make a purchase without making an account with boot barn. I'm not sure if there is a contest amongst other boot barn locations to see who can get the most people to sign up with a boot barn account but I've never been forced at any other business to make an account just to make a purchase. I made a purchase a few days ago at this location without creating a member account. I was asked for my address as well, but did not give in. I should not be forced to receive promotions through text message and email just to make an in store purchase. Overall frustrating experience when employees have no regard when lines are long and proceed to have no sense of good customer service or sense of urgency to try and move faster & get customers in and out instead of making them wait forever. read more

0 stars, worst location. The female manager has no clue how to make a return & has no intentions of training the employees properly to make returns as well nor to even check a customer out. The cashiers are extremely clueless & had to keep asking the female manager for help. My husband asked to use his union discount & the cashier we had (who looks like she rolled out of bed) told him he couldn't use it because the store doesn't have the union barcodes. Also, the other cashier who is a blonde white female asked us to give her our bag of our return before we could walk around the store to find an item of exchange. Someone needs to properly train these employees or find employees who are better. read more
