Oh, I love this place! I am a Vancouverite & just came across this shop for the first time. Mind you, it’s not in my neighborhood. I own Fluevogs, Doc Martins & Bed Stu’s, but now I’m seeing the necessity of owning a pair of Dayton shoes. These are shoes & boots made of high quality thick durable leather. Initially, these shoes were made for police officers and outside workers, but now they’re for anyone. The staff is friendly & knowledgable. They will measure your feet and size shoes to fit your feet the best. Right now, there is a four month wait list for custom made orders. Not surprising, seeing that even the famous like Angelina Jolie, Robin Williams & Johnny Depp have purchased these shoes. I was lucky enough to find a pair in stock that fit me so well. Sadly, I can not drop $ 500 on a pair of shoes right now, but I was soooo tempted. Love them.

While I probably won’t be able to wear their boots due to nature of my job, you can tell when you walk in, that it’s great quality and service. Even changing leather soles is a few days, @35, seems reasonable. A cool western-style yet still a bit heritage, with some comfortable seating in the middle. On the wall, you can read the history of how the original owners founded this store. Was looking for a half-boot with a zipper but staff explained the concerns of zipper, etc. When you pick up any of their shoes, it’s heavy and real leather. Good-size store too. Was waiting for my takeout order next door from Mr. Red Café ;)

I was reminded to review this place since I saw it on Kenneth’s review page. My girlfriend and I came in here 3 months ago. She is more of the shoe wh*re than I am, however, I did get something out of the shoe experience. The lady working there was super helpful to the both of us in ensuring that we got a boot that not only fit her personality but also was practical for what she needed for the nature of her job. She also helped me find some fashion boots to go along with my goth dress. I tried on a few pairs, however, I had odd ankles, therefore, fitting into boots is more miss than hit with me. Her patience in dealing with us is what was appreciated.

These guys are great. I have really wanted a pair of Dayton’s since I was a kid(I am now 66) and I finally got a pair of Confederates. They were custom made(Expensive !!, but worth it). They guaranteed a perect fit and when they weren’t perfect the first time they rebuilt them. Now they fit and look fabulous. The service from Andrew and Nicole was over the top great. I’d make it 5 Stars but sometimes they drop the ball on communication. By that I mean answering the phone seems a bit of a challenge for them . However, I really do not want to undermine what I am saying about the boots and the experience of buying them. All of that was 5 Star

Love my Service Boots from them. High quality leathers, great fit and sturdy durability. I appreciate their craftsmanship. Staff and service are always prompt and friendly.

The most wonderful boots in the world are made right here in Vancouver, BC! And have been for years. Dayton Boots on Hastings. a Vancouver institution. Just bought my first pair of Daytons after wanting them for years and years! I got the Low Rider style in black oil finish. I knew that they were beautifully made and looked super-cool, but I wasn’t prepared for how comfortable they were! Staff will spend a lot of time helping you choose the right style and size. Oblivious to mud, rain, snow, and dirt, look great, and comfortable! They are not super-cheap, but comparing to other leather boots for sale around town, for the same price, or even less, than many brands, twice the boot in terms of leather, style, construction, and durability. I haven’t stopped wearing them daily since I bought them in December.
