Benny's Boot Hill — Local services in Bridgeport

I called Benny's a day or two ago to see if they had a certain size and type of hiking shoe / boot. The gentleman said that they did, so, I went down today and Kraig? (an "older" gentleman) remembered talking with me and walked me back to where the boots are. He went in the back and brought out the ones that we had discussed. One or both were made by KEEN and fit GREAT. They were true to size and still roomy enough for thick socks. I got to talking with him about the boots that I had that were safety toe. He said that there was now a composite safety toe that was much lighter and would not make your toes cold like a steel toe. I asked to try one or two on. He brought out another pair of KEEN and a pair of Carolina's. I tried the Carolina's on first, but they had a regular "logger" sole. I then tied on the KEEN. As soon as I put the first one on, I WAS SOLD! Lightweight, DEEP aggressive tread, toe cap, made in Colorado not some sweat shop, composite toe and waterproof! As soon as as I laced it up, the toe box was still comfortable, they were not stiff which meant it would be easier to wear then in, lightweight. I told him SOLD! Both of the safety toe shoes / boots that he brought out looked like regular boots / shoes. They did not have that bulge from the steel toe to make it look like a clown shoe. Another nice thing about these KEEN boots is that the top two quick laces also have holes in them in case you wanted to straight lace the boot all the way. I love shopping at Benny's because of their selection, knowledge and service! These boots cost more than a pair of Timberland's that I bought years ago which only lasted ONE winter and almost a full year. I know these will last MUCH longer! Thanks to the...

Benny's Boot Hill does and has what Walmart doesn't. Stuff to clean, protect and preserve boots and leather sold at Walmart is worthless. Accessories for boots, such as laces for boots are worthless. Most of all, boots at Walmart are worthless junk. I've bought 2 brands of boots at Walmart, Brahma and Herman Survivors, both. Brahma's are the most poorest quality of boots, my feet would hurt all the time, I've tried different insoles, my feet would still hurt from wearing Brahma's. Brahma's didn't last very long, either. The threads came undone on the Brahma boots. I don't recommend Brahma at any cost. Brahma boots are the poorest quality and very uncomfortable. Herman Survivors, another cheap Walmart boots, though they are more comfortable but they only lasted me 6 months or to a year, but better than Brahma's. So then, I'd bought me a pair of Wolverine's at Sears a few years ago, I'd got 2 years of use with those boots, a lot better quality and more comfortable than Brahma's at Walmart. When it was time to replace my Wolverines, I wanted a better, so I'd bought my 1st Timberland Pro boots at Benny's Boot Hill and my Timberland Pro boots are the most comfortable boots, ever and very well built quality. I would recommend Benny's Boot Hill for boots and...

I agree with others about the friendliness of some of the staff. My husband gets one boot voucher from work for $200.00 a year for 2 pair of boots which at this place is a joke. They are VERY EXPENSIVE and no way are you getting boots for $100.00 dollars here! We went yesterday [ New Years Day] and he picked out a pair $199.00, typical price for boots that only last 3-4 months tops. But his company recently changed the fact that they don’t have to be Saftey toe boots any more and his boss scratched out and initial his voucher. They employee was very rude and insistent about the boot having to be saftey toe. Then got more rude when I asked him to hold them because the company wasn’t open that day that they would get a call from his boss tomorrow. When my husband went to work this morning several other of the employees went and got boots, without saftey toe yesterday with no problem! I am telling you I am worse than mad right now! My husband should be working with his new insulated boots on in this 7...
