It depends on your budget. Moon Nashville author Margaret Littman’s guide to the city’s western wear and boot stores covers the range (Moon Travel Guides). For variety and a deal, she points to Boot Country, which “stocks a huge variety and organizes them by size.” For a splurge, she names Lucchese, a luxury bootmaker founded in 1883 that has had its own retail shop in the Gulch since 2012. For something one of a kind, there is Planet Cowboy, which owner Jaylin Ramer moved from New York to Nashville in 2020; about a third of its stock is her own custom design. The same guide says Boot Country advertises “buy one get two free.” That kind of offer changes, so check the current terms in the store. The guide is not dated on the page, so confirm that each shop is open and where it is before you go.

Buying Tips
- Try boots on and walk in them on a hard floor before you buy.
- Compare prices across a budget shop and a luxury maker before you commit.
- Pair it with vintage shopping: used Western boots turn up in East Nashville; see the best vintage stores in Nashville.
