Ah, fall. It is that time of year when Texans ditch their sandals and pull on a comfy pair of cowboy boots. While many folks from other large Texas cities will have at least one pair of cowboy boots on hand for those regular Western events, most self-respecting Fort Worth natives have an ever-growing wardrobe of boots to suit their every mood.
But whether you’re a full-fledged cowboy boot-hoarder or a recent transplant just trying to fit in around Cowtown, here are a few of our favorite new styles of the season. This is Where to Shop For Cowboy Boots In Fort Worth and some ideas on what to get at each store:
Old Gringo
140 E. Exchange Avenue, Suite 305
Old Gringo transplanted its headquarters from California to Fort Worth recently. After all, The Fort Worth Stockyards have become ground zero for Western fashions of all kinds. Old Gringo’s signature Bonnie style has added a poignant pop of red floral embroidery to this black leather look.
The Bridgette incorporates suede and distressed leather adding more textural intrigue and a decidedly vintage flair.
Bridgette ― $659
CITY Boots
3612 W. Vickery Boulevard
This tall (17 inch) boot is a conversation starter for sure. In bright pink (actually, it’s officially rosebud pink) with pops of yellow flowers, these cowboy boots won’t go unnoticed.
The Lindsey Boot is part of a collaboration between CITY Boots and Dallas’ La Vie Style House. They are named after La Vie co-founder Lindsey McLain.
The Lindsey ― $1650
Tecovas
2341 N. Main Street
Austin-based bootmaker Tecovas planted a store in the Fort Worth Stockyards in 2020. This season, it’s bringing another newcomer for the fellas ― The Barrett in sport rust python. These limited edition earth-toned cowboy boots are in such high demand, that they are limited to two pairs per person.

Justin Boots
717 West Vickery Boulevard
The Men’s Punchy Ranker boot in cobalt blue is a new style at Justin Boots. The classically inspired cowboy boot has its upper part hand-finished in sueded boar. The blue color with it graphic stitching in lighting bolts certainly makes a statement of its own.
Even better? The comfy insole is cushioned with memory foam.

Lucchese Boot Maker
128 E. Exchange Avenue, Suite 500
The classic shape of the Tilly is a stunner and it comes in a shade called Pearl Bone. Supple Mad Dog goat leather is striking on its own, but this style adds a diamond stitch accent. It’s a whole lot of Western chic. And it’s handmade in Texas.
