Boots at Kleinschmidt’s

Boots are a big part of what we do. Family owned and operated in Higginsville, Missouri, since 1969, Kleinschmidt’s carries western and work boots for men, women and kids. Whether you’re replacing a pair you wear every day or choosing something for a special occasion, we’re here to help you compare the options.

Where should I start when choosing boots?

Start with how you’ll wear them. For everyday western boots, compare the fit, heel, shaft height and sole, along with the look you prefer. For work boots, check the individual pair’s features against what your job requires. Waterproofing and safety-toe protection are features of specific boots, not something to assume across the selection.

How do I find the right fit?

Try boots on with the socks you plan to wear, and walk around to check the fit. Size, width and toe shape all matter. If a pair feels too tight or your foot moves around too much, ask for help comparing another size or style rather than relying on break-in to solve the problem.

How should I break in new boots?

Once you’ve checked the fit, begin with short periods of wear rather than a full day. Follow the manufacturer’s advice for that particular boot. Before trying stretching tools or treatments, ask us whether they’re appropriate for the material and construction.

How should I care for my boots?

Care depends on the material and finish. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and use cleaners, conditioners or polish only where recommended. If you’re unsure what to use on your pair, we’re happy to help.
