Your Trusted Source for Work Boots and UGG Footwear
Boot World was founded in December 1975 by Harold Stone and Robert Villasenor, two seasoned professionals with over 25 combined years of experience in the shoe industry. Harold previously operated the H.L. Stone Shoe Company and a family shoe department at Fed Mart, while Robert served as Western District Supervisor for Wohl Shoe Company. Their partnership established one of Southern California's first specialty boot stores, which has since expanded nationwide through e-commerce and mobile services. As a family-owned business now led by Ed Stone, son of Harold, we maintain a customer-centric culture rooted in footwear expertise and personalized service. Our team stays at the forefront of shoe technology through ongoing training, ensuring we match products to individual customer needs across retail, work, and outdoor environments.Boot World is recognized as a leader in safety footwear and the premier destination for UGG products, combining technical knowledge with a commitment to customer satisfaction. We treat every customer like family, understanding that their trust and loyalty sustain our business. This philosophy drives our daily efforts to deliver exceptional service, whether in-store, online, or through our mobile footwear units. With over 40 years of operation, we remain dedicated to sharing our specialized footwear knowledge and maintaining the highest service standards.
