We came in looking for boots and had a wonderful experience. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. They also have a massive selection and we found exactly what we were looking for. Would recommend this shop to anyone! read more

I do my best and try to support local businesses especially brick and mortar establishments but everyone has their limit. Items are not white elephants and can be found relatively easy online. Fair is fair- period. My first encounter was primarily for research purposes however,wanting to support local businesses, I still walked away with a couple of items. As it so turns out one of these items turned out to be defective ultimately requiring an exchange, This cost me another 30-mile round trip in DMV traffic. No issues there, i had the original receipt and it was a simple and painless exchange with the exception of staff side talk. Service - staff is present, waiting and at the ready. Like loss prevention and teenagers in a convenience store they are ready to pounce. it is uncertain if it is due to being such a small location or if it is out of sheer boredom but they are there to support and apply pressure if needed. Selection -they offer a decent selection of boots, buckles, hats, and western accessories. Much less than a large name brand store as you can imagine due to floor size and layout. Giving off a vibe like entering a large swap meet booth rather than a well established business that has been in the community for years. Value - Sadly extremely lacking and outright predatory. I was in the market for a pair of ostritch cowboy boots and my search ended with utter disappointed I discovered the product offered was well over priced compared to their competitors. A pair of boots listed online between $409.00 and $459,00 at WJ Colt's listed sales price of $609.99 with an additional "20% discount" before taxes were ultimately applied. The same pair of boots Original MSRP, were a laughable, $762.99 with a bright red X over it offering the illusion of a bargin. At such price points the items can continue to sit on the shelf until the right sucker comes along. Not today.. read more

Don't let the store size fool you. It is a Great place for service along with an affordable Cowboy hat selection. It has also has a good cowboy boot selection. It is worth the visit. read more

Very nice, attentive staff. The store has beautiful things! I was quite impressed, as it is a place I didn't know existed.

Great service and very informative. Had quality selections at good prices. I will shop there again.

Excellent selection of western wear and the lady that helped me was very helpful and patient.

Nothing but good things here! Great selection, great customer service, prices are excellent and they will even shape your hats while you wait. Need western apparel? This is your place! From Hat to boots to belt buckles and everything in between, Would not go anywhere else in Virginia for any of my western needs. read more

Great store! It's a bit scaled down, to what their Springfield Mall location was like. Then again it's nice avoiding that dumping ground. I like the employees here, as all know a thing or too about my beloved cowboy boots. S$it kickers. The most comfortable boots or shoes you'll ever own. Here the selection and prices, you won't find a better deal. They have some nice jeans and khaki pants too. I'm not going to be wearing the big silver and gold belt buckles. They are in my opinion ridiculous. Sure I ride horses, but I let the one I carry be represented, without all of the bling. They are a great shop, and hope you'll check them out! read more

WJ Colt is a great boot store with an amazing selection of boots. Find anything from work boots, to more stylish boots. I was able to try on 4-5 different boots before picking the right size and style. There is a great selection of Ariat boots with all soles, designs. Great service and the best boot shop near D.C. read more

Love this place. Pleasantly surprised by the great selection of shirts, boots, and hats. Buying made easier with help from super friendly (I presume) owner. Doesn't seem like a store you'd expect to find in Northern Va. - that's a complement! read more

See all

Went in to treat myself to a new pair of cowgirl boots for my birthday. A staff member helped me try on MANY pairs of boots until I found the right ones. She was very patient and helpful and made sure I felt comfortable and welcomed in the store. I will definitely be coming back for my next pair :) read more

Can't recommend this store enough for the service alone, they're extremely helpful and nice. I recently moved away from the area but I stop in any time I visit family. It's basically a smaller and better version of Boot Barn, the selection of boots is impressive given the small space. Not a huge selection of shirts but they have great work boots, as well as casual and fancier boots. I'd gladly go here over Boot Barn any day! read more

Drove from DC to explore the only western wear store around us . My wife and i thoroughly enjoyed the service. She found the perfect cowboy hat that was shaped for her on the spot . We will definitely be back. read more

I was in need for a nice pair of boots. I knew what I wanted already which was some black lucchese boots. So I came across Colt online and called to see if they had the pair and size I was looking for. The owner said he did. So I came down and the store was really impressive inside considering it's size. They have a large selection in there! And they carry a range of different styles in all price ranges. Mine of course was very expensive because they are handmade and Lucchese is one of the top boot makers in the country. But the owner worked a deal for me and I got them for less than if I got them directly from Lucchese! Super nice people! You need to come here if your looking for western wear and boots. read more

I paid for a pair of Lucchese boots in June 2021 and was told that they would arrive in November 2021. That date came and passed. WJ Colt then told me I would receive the boots in December, before Christmas. No boots. Then it was early January b/c Lucchese had discovered a "defect" and sent them back to repair it. But, despite assurances, I received no boots and no update from WJ Colt in early January. I called and was told that I would receive my boots in mid-January 2022. Another hollow promise. I called again during the 3rd week of January and they told me that I would have the boots this week or they would update me. You guessed it - no boots and no update from WJ Colt. Is this even a real business? So, if you want to be buried in your boots and are 50 years old or so, but expect to live to your mid-70s, I suggest that you go ahead and order them from WJ Colt now and hope that WJ Colt can get them to you before you are laid in the casket. read more

The moment I walk in the door I felt like a special customer the people at the store remove the cowboy hat off my head and cleaned it up and shap it up real nice for me I also bought a hat in the shape that this place has excellent customer service five stars for them read more

What an amazing selection of boots. The gentleman who helped us was extremely helpful and knew the inventory well enough to make all the right suggestions he was also very knowledgeable about proper fit. Prices reasonable too. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend. read more

WJ Colt is a terrific store and great people. The owner and his assistant are always available, responsive, and honestly I would go into business with them if I could. A great experience, highly recommend! read more

County gem hidden in the city! Awesome boot selection! Unique choices! If you are from Texas- you will love this Place!

I have been wanting to buy a new pair of boots for several months now. Being new to the area I had no idea where to go. A nice young lady at DSW across the street sent us here to Colt W J & Co Outfitters. This is a great little gem. From the moment I walked in I knew I was in the right place. They had a great selection of boots, and they owner and his wife are very happy to help with anything and everything I needed. I can see myself going back to this place several times to get my "western" look back. read more

Amazing store. Everything from boots, hats, to cleaning. Love visiting the store. Best place to go in the local area for all your western wear. read more

Great selection of boots , hats etc for such a small place. Excellent service. Had to exchange a pair and not a single issue.

Found this place on yelp, it was in a nonchalant storefront and I wasn't sure if I found the right place. I wanted taupe cowboy boots and a hat, and a hispanic man helped me, was kind and patient as I wrestled trying to get boots on. He showed me these boot helpers where you slide your leg in, and a little contraption to help me take off the boots. Who would have known. I was apprehensive about going here and being talked into something I didn't want to buy, but I am happy with my purchase of Ariat boots, cowboy hat, boot helpers and boot offers lol, really I know I will have these things for a while and that's exactly what I wanted, and wasn't embarrassed. read more

If you are looking for a pair of great looking boots at an affordable price point, do yourself a favor and check out this place. This place is boot heaven with far more interesting variety than what you can find at the mall. Found a beautiful tan pair of Luccheses, placed an order and received in less than 2 weeks. Very friendly staff, great service! read more

I just bought a pair of beautiful Justin boots for women & I love them! They were also on sale - $100 off the original price. I received great service. They have a wide selection of men's and women's boots & clothing. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Due to the Covid virus, I called the store to see if they were even open. I was buying boots as a gift, so I knew exactly what brand, size, color I needed. The store did not have what I needed but said I could order on line, I asked if they could get them faster delivered to the store, I was told no. I went to the store site and ordered the boots. With no response after 4 days, I called. Very poor customer service, basically blamed Justin boots. I asked if I could pay for expedited shipping, I was told 3 day shipping would cost $100.00!!!! Half the price of the boots! The store and the manager were very unwilling to help me! I finally got the boots direct from Justin, and colt actually sent me a survey! For doing nothing! Didn't take the order, ship the order, nothing! Very disappointed in their service. Next time I will order direct from Justin boots! read more

Knowledgeable, helpful, well-stocked. Nothing else to want. Boots are comfortable and the help with size and style was most appreciated.

I originally went WJ Colt to browse and perhaps replace a pair of 12 year old off-the-shelf Justins I wore in college. After a long and educational conversation with the shopkeeper I ordered a pair of Lucchese Classics. The Classics arrived before the projected timeframe and they were a perfect fit to my feet. They fit so well that I subsequently ordered two more pairs of Lucchese Classics from the same man. The shopkeeper whom I dealt with did not attempt to upsell me at all which I greatly appreciated. He simply asked what I was interested in and demostrated the various construction methods of several manufacturers. WJ Colt offers a positive shopping experience for those interested in western styled boots. read more

There are not many places to buy true western gear in the area, and this place was great. The customer service was friendly, helpful and accommodating. They were not pushy and genuinely helpful and knowledgable. I really appreciated them making our shopping experience easy and productive! Great prices and great products! read more

As other reviewers have noted, customer service is excellent!!! They have the best selection of cowboy and cowgirl boots! I bought some Lucchese boots because they fit me the best. The store carries several brands so you can figure out which is best for you. And their prices are excellent! they also have cowboy hats and belts. read more

There's great ambience within the store and great service as well. As soon as you walked in a staffer is already awaiting to service you. No time is wasted here as they make sure they attend to each and every customer upon entry. Thanks for the great experience guys read more

I did another review about Bull Run boot store in Manassas. I want to say there is a night in day difference in selections and most of all customer service. I went in to Colt W J & Co, and was immediately assisted in finding a great pair of boots. I didn't care what they cost, but knew what I wanted. I will be back here. read more

I couldn't decide what size to go with for boots I had already purchased, so I went to this store with a different size on each foot for some help. The owner told me to try using insoles with the bigger boots and I tried them and they were perfect! I didn't realize this shop existed otherwise I would've just gone there to buy the boots rather than ordering them online. Great little place. Will definitely go back. read more

My wife and I went there to get cowboy boots and some accessories to wear for going out line dancing. They have a great selection of boots to choose from, and the staff were very helpful in helping us choose which boots and accessories to consider. Our visit here was successful, and we found everything we were looking for. Highly recommend this place! read more

Wonderful customer service. Were very patient and helpful while my husband and I tried on every boot and hat in the store. 5 stars hands down!! read more
