Boot Outlet is a family owned and operated business in Ocean Springs, MS and has been since 1978.  Originally, Judy and Robert Parker opened a small shoe repair shop in downtown Ocean Springs that was only 900 square feet.  Since then, Boot Outlet has grown into a 13,000 square feet company that has everything from 20X Stetson hats to Columbia swim trunks.  Additionally, the availability of space has allowed the company to provide the largest supply of Carhartt clothing and work boots on the MS Gulf Coast.  In the mid 90's, Boot Outlet began transporting work boots via truck to local ship yards so employees could conviently purchase their work boots on site. The work-site sales and in-store sales have grown dramastically over the years due to the ever expanding variety of products and friendly sales staff. Robert Sr has since retired for the most past and can be seen fishing in the Sound almost daily, leaving Robert Jr. to run the day-to-day operations of the store.
