Our Team

Vidhya Iyer - Designer/Owner 

Vidhya is the owner and designer of Bootmakers. Unable to find the right riding boots for her young family, Vidhya found a cobbler willing to make the boots to fit their little feet. Her friends requested that she make boots for them and soon Bootmakers was launched.

We offer a variety of styles for the discerning customer, whether you’re a retired dancer who understands the importance of a good fit and sole, an equestrian who seeks out a boot that enhances the riding experience, or an ambitious go-getter who wants and demands high quality.

Vidhya is a constant learner and is a CPA and has an MBA from Purdue University's Mitch Daniel's School of Business.
