  • HIGH GRADE LEATHER

    We source our leather from U.S. suppliers that measure up to only the highest standard of quality. Before I start making your boots, I inspect the leather for any blemishes or scaring.

  • CRAFTED BY HAND

    Every pair of boots is crafted from start to finish by hand. The key features of a handmade boot are: in-seamed/welted, cutting of leather, & bottoming.

Sam Schmidt | Bootmaker & Cobbler

Schmidt’s Bootmaker is a traditional boot making shop offering made-to-measure footwear for hunting, work, dress, wildland fire, & first responders. Each pair is meticulously made by hand using only high-quality bison, cow, & bull hide leather ensuring longevity. Here, boots are made from a boot repairman’s perspective, meaning that your boots are designed to be repairable years down the line as needed. "When working as a cobbler, I’ve seen too many shoes that lack the ability to be recrafted."

how the boots are made: GEOMETRIC PATTERN MAKING

Taking the measurements of the shoe last; the form that gives the boot its shape, and using a shoe maker square, I can create the template for your boot. For every pair of boots that I make, a new pattern is created.
