Sustainable Brand Benchmark - Boot Country Work Country

Boot Country | Work Country is a retail company with a rich history dating back to 1982 when founders Bill and Kay Van Fleet relocated their family to Cincinnati, Ohio, and opened Ohio's first Boot Country. With 15 years of experience in selling and custom-fitting western boots, Bill Van Fleet brought his expertise to this venture.

Starting as a modest boot store located in an old house on Chester Road, Boot Country attracted customers through word-of-mouth and its prime location on a busy street. The distinctive Red Boot Logo, hand-painted by Kay Van Fleet, became a recognizable symbol of the brand.

Over the course of 36 years, Boot Country has grown significantly, expanding from its original location into four retail stores within the Tri-State area. While maintaining its commitment to western boots and apparel, Boot Country recognized the potential in catering to the local work industry. Consequently, the company expanded its inventory and name to include "BOOT COUNTRY | WORK COUNTRY."

Today, Boot Country | Work Country offers an extensive range of products, from western boots and apparel to work boots and apparel, as well as hats, jeans, leather goods, accessories, and gifts for men, women, and children. The company takes pride in carrying top brands and providing a wide range of sizes, making it a go-to destination for quality western and workwear.

With a mission to meet the diverse needs of its customers and offer a pleasant shopping experience, Boot Country | Work Country continues to be a trusted source for those seeking quality boots and clothing. The company's little cowboy mascot, named Wild Bill after co-founder Bill Van Fleet, reflects its enduring commitment to western heritage and workwear excellence.
