Cowboy boots in Nashville?

Check prices. Location will probably either make them real expensive, or real cheap

There are a couple well-known places, but you’re gonna pay some Nashville tax for sure. Check out French’s: https://frenchsbootsandshoes.com/

If you want to look like a Nashville local, you are going to need a Nudie suit like Porter wears to go with those boots.

Hey Lori,

Is Fairfax anywhere near Abingdon? I’ve been to Capo’s Music Store a couple times. They have some really nice instruments there. I played a Huss & Dalton guitar that I wish I could have brought home with me.

It’s a super busy town, but also very nice!

I went to the Fiddler’s Convention in Galax (just to watch) during one of those trips. Virginia is a great place!

Mole, Buddy, I’m tempted.

Thanks, Ben, noted. Wherever I go, I’ll drop your name!

SO psyched for the Camp.

Both at opposite ends of the state. Fairfax is a suburb of D.C. Abington is near Bristol.

This, of course, could raise the price by double, depending on what store you buy from :wink:

nice sharing!!

@Michael , Did you ever make a boot purchase? If so, please provide any details you are comfortable to share with us.

I’d like to imagine one day, I will likewise share the dream to pick up a pair in Nashville.

Has anyone dared to try Tecovas or any other online store? If so, please share experience details

Yep, I have some full quill ostrich from Tecovas and love them!

@WillCoop,
Yep, sure did. Went “full Nashville tourist” and bought a pair of Ostrich at Boot Barn on 5th. Very happy with them!

Those are amazing. Very cool.

Please help me out with the color as I have a color deficiency… And of course, the photo can present it differently than in real life.

They look blue-ish to me (because of the background perhaps)… Lol. Or… Maybe Gray is closer to what I mean.

I hear y’all laughin’… it stinks being color-deficient! :disappointed:.

That’s why I just had to ask.

Man, I’d like to visit Nashville and pick up some boots. I think it was awesome you came up with the idea to do just that.

You bet, @WillCoop. There’s definitely a blue tinge on everything in that photo because of the natural lighting and the blue walls in the room (and the blue/gray guitar case behind them).

It is violet guys! if you know what that color means. Britishers will know. Maybe if you mix brown and blue, you might get that violet.

OK its purple, which is violet!
