We're a little different...

L.A. Bootery is a little different than your typical shoe store. The first thing you'll notice when you enter is that a corner of the shop space has been dedicated to a play area for Carolyn's toddler. He may offer a friendly wave and point out some suggestions for what to try on.

But our products are fantastic...

There is plenty to try on! With a variety of styles on hand, you will likely find a comfortable quality shoe. If, however, your "sole-mate" isn't on the shelf, Carolyn is able to place a custom order with the current brands. If you don't see your favorite brand, let Carolyn know!

And we have a strong commitment to customer service...

L.A. Bootery is here to serve the businesses and people who shop in Los Alamos County. As the store expands, new brands will be added with priority given to frequent requests. If you call ahead, expect the shoe you were interested in to be set aside waiting for you when you arrive. If you walk in, Carolyn will gladly help to find a shoe that fits your needs, or you are welcome to adventure on your own - no pressure. Carolyn's work history in quality assurance and as an administrative assistant means she is dedicated to finding you the right shoe, but with a level of customer service that you are comfortable with.

Finally, a little about how the store came to be...

Carolyn moved to White Rock in 2019 with her husband and two dogs from Oregon. After working for the lab and having her son, Carolyn decided to be a full-time mom - with a twist. The opportunity to own her own business was a life-long dream. When word came about that a shoe store was needed in Los Alamos, Carolyn jumped at the idea. A short while later, L.A. Bootery was born. The "L" and "A" do stand for "Los Alamos", but there are a few other play-on-words involved. See if you can figure them out!
