Service was excellent... prices were expensive.... But if you want an authentic western hat this is the place.

Bought an adorable pair of earrings and a frame. I wanted to buy a scarf but there wasn't any info available about the artist. Call me old fashioned but if I'm going to spend Hermes money on a twilly I want to know more than, "it's made of silk by a local person." The boot person was outstanding! He advised me to go back where I bought my boots (a famous place here in Austin where we live) and have them stretched. Because of his patience and kindness we will be back for a custom pair even though I don't really wear western wear. A girl can never have too many shoes. Right? read more

ML Leddy's has spectacular customer service and high quality goods! This shop features an incredibly wide selection of leather goods such as belts and boots, western clothing, jewelry, and home decor. Everything is beautifully crafted. From what I have seen, you do get some bang for your buck in terms of quality. The leather is very high quality and artisanal - well worth the controversially high price point. Here is one of the only places I have been able to find that makes custom name belts. If you would like a service like that, expect the price to start in the high $300s, with each letter being an additional $10. Fully custom belts can be delivered anywhere in the country in about 60 days. I would also love to acknowledge how considerate the girls working the register were! On a hot summer day as my dad was working on his custom belt order, one of the sweet girls noticed he was sweating and brought us all cold waters. Such a lovely gesture! I would definitely recommend stopping by for your luxury western needs when in the Stockyard area! read more

Stopped by yesterday to see they would reshape my hat that a hat shop in San Antonio messed up. They said of course. Of course when I was there I looked at a sports coat and yes I had to get it. Went back to get the hat done and Wow Wesley did a great job on it. The young lady that helped me with the jacket also was great. I would highly recommend this store. Everyone in there was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Prices might be a little higher than competitors but there is an old saying, you get what you pay for. Quality and great customer service!! read more

Absolute awful experience in here. Rude, sneering, judgmental customer service. I'm from the area but live in CA and went with family while visiting. 13 year old niece picked up boots. Old fart working in the suits told her to put them down she couldn't afford them because were $10K. If you don't want folks picking them up, then put them behind a glass case. My son was sitting on a stool in the dressing room while my husband was shopping for suits. Other asshole working back there told him to come out of there because someone might want to try on suits. He's 10 and wasn't bothering anyone. Just waiting for his dad. No one else was in that department shopping. I left a bag on the counter while I was shopping for a shirt for my father in law and asked my husband to hold on to it. When I came back the same man asked me why is this here. Pretty much left feeling like they thought we could t afford what we wanted to buy when in CA plenty of folks who are wealthy don't wear it on them. Both my husband work in Tech and will spend $25K shopping on quality items no problem. Needless to say I gathered my family, left everything on the counter we were planning to buy and walked out of there. Awful, rude, disdainful good ol' boy vibe. read more

Walked in excited. Walked out feeling like I'd stepped in something and tracked it all the way back to the hotel. The store looked like it had a great selection, but the vibe was rough. Stoic is fine. Western quiet is fine. But cold, condescending, and unhelpful is another thing entirely. Asking a simple question made me feel like an idiot. It sucks when attitude outweighs the hospitality. Oh well. Plenty of other shops at the stockyards where folks don't judge a book by its cover. Maybe I didn't look "moneyed" or "cowboy" enough? Hard to say. Oh well, I was looking for a custom hat and could have spent some silver dollars but instead I'm giving the 2/5 Yelp review. read more

We were in Texas for a short stay, and spent a day in Fort Worth. Felt like this was the best place to look for boots, so we started going through all the different stores. Leddy's has ready to wear boots, semi custom boots, and full custom boots, with price points to match. My boyfriend has an unusual foot size, so we were trying the semi custom boots as we don't have the budget for full custom. The sales staff were super attentive, and worked very hard to find something that fit him the way that it should. In the end we weren't able to make a match, but we very much appreciated the attention. There's also a great selection of women's wear and menswear, with a lot of unique pieces. I would definitely stop in if you were looking for boots or western wear. read more

We we're in the stockyards last weekend and we we're walking to our car when we saw an associate of ML Leddys where we had gone in before many times, the person must have parked in their "spot" where LEDDY's trailer is parked on the grass and hitched. We we're waiting on friends to catch up and meet us there in the parking lot, we saw the associate get out of their vehicle, write a note and stick it on the windshield of the SUV, and then attempted to rip off the windshield wipers and looked like they were trying to scratch into the windshield. this is a paid lot mine you. so whoever was parked there had to pay to be in that spot. bad business y'all! read more

It can't get any better than Leddy's for shopping cowboy and cowgirl flair in Fort Worth. We make special effort to come here. My wife bought some boots and a belt here and the service and quality it top notch. It's a special place that's been part of the Fort Worth Stockyards since I was a small child going to the ISIS theater down the street while my Dad played dominos literally across the street. You won't be disappointed coming here shopping if your looking for high end gear with appropriate pricing. Afterward, just cross the street and enjoy a Lone Star beer and relax. This place is great! read more

I had never been interested in Western wear despite growing up on a cattle ranch. My dad convinced me to get my first cowboy hat recently though.

Amazing. High quality product. The staff is more than accommodating in being helpful, interacting with guests (including small children).

I stopped in ML Leddy's in San Angelo curious about the boots. An hour latter I had been fitted with the most comfortable boot of any type I had ever worn. Worth the price. Great people, friendly staff. Oh, the boots were made in the USA by Texans. Even got to see the boot shop. read more

The entire operation has a bad and unwelcoming feel, which is only made worse by the rude and discourteous staff.

First time in Texas and wanted to get a pair of cowboy boots. I was advised that Leddy's in Fort Worth was the place to go to buy good quality hand made boots. The store is amazing and offers a wide selection of western style boots, hats, clothing, belts, saddles and more. I certainly wasn't wasn't disappointed and left there wearing my new boots. read more

ML Leddy's - Getting my new Leddy's cowboy boots conditioned and shined before leaving the store. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

My dad often wore western boots, he always liked Leddy boots, and my mom told him he should get a pair. But he could never convince himself to take the plunge into custom-made boots. After he died last year, I decided to take the plunge for him. I'm glad I did. When you order, they measure your feet every which way, standing and sitting. You choose tooling or stitching, the type of leather, the colors, overlay or inlay, shape of the toe, height, heel. When you order custom boots, they'll make them any way you like. Just ask. I opted for a plain ostrich vamp with heavily tooled cowhide shaft, all black, with a western heel slightly lower than standard. They told me they'd take ten months to finish, and that's how long they took. I was told they only have six guys who do that kind of tooling work, and you have to wait your turn. They finally came about six weeks ago. At first I only wanted to wear them for dressy occasions, then realized after paying that much for boots (I have six pairs of Luccheses, including two in alligator and one each in stingray, ostrich, cowhide and goatskin, and these cost more than all of those combined), I wanted to wear them more often than that. So I've worn them to church, to work, to go shopping. The only time I won't wear them is to go riding. I'm not walking through a muddy pasture in these boots. I think they're beautiful, and they're comfortable even after hours on my feet and I love them. Mom and Dad would have loved them, too. I have some Leddy clothing, which is excellent, but the boots there are the main event. And if money is an object, you can get them pre-made, not custom. You just have to try on a lot of boots, since they aren't made to standard sizes. Do it that way and you can get them 50-90 percent off list price. My sister found a beautiful pair that fit her very well and ended up paying only a few hundred for a $4,000 pair of boots. For that kind of deal it might be worth cutting off a toe for a good fit. They also have a line of handmade boots in standard sizes, not custom, at three-figure prices. I didn't try those, but they were fine looking boots. Great store, nice people, excellent products. Five stars all the way. read more

If your looking for boots, this is not the place. Most boots on display don't look new, their boots don't really have a shape, leathers folding in on itself. And it's not hard to find a brand new pair of boots that look like they've been worn, not tried on but worn, scratches all over the bottoms. Makes you wonder if the employees are wearing them. Their boots are made in Mexico which is fine but the quality and price are not in line, $500 boots look like $250 boots, with tags sown in, not stamped into the leather...for $1,000, really? If you're looking for high end boots go to Lucchese or if you're looking for good boots at a reasonable price go to Tecovas. read more

In DFW for a short work trip and had to visit the Stockyards. I've been looking for a good pair of boots for about 10 years and never pulled the trigger. Today was the day. Mark in the boot dept couldn't have been more helpful. I'm a newbie and he was never the slightest bit condescending.... despite my obvious ignorance to quality boot knowledge. Left with my first pair of "real" boots in Ostrich and couldn't be happier. Time to break them in! read more

The MOST gorgeous boots I've ever owned The last is stunning. My boots are black and, I swear, every time I wear them - compliments!

ML Leddy boots are expensive but they are hand made with top quality materials by craftsmen. I guess I'm the unlucky one, I bought a new pair a few years ago. They look great and fit ok but one of the boots "squeaks" when I walk. The folks in Fort Worth sent them back to the San Angelo plant, they came back weeks later but I don't think they were touched. The squeaking has gotten so bad, I can't wear them anymore. It's embarrassing. I guess at the plant, they couldn't make them squeak. Too bad, they cost $$$$$. read more

First met the ML Leddy's team at the Houston Livestock Show. Told them the problems I have had with boots and they dove in to take a look. Saw the problems right away and assured that if I ever ordered boots from Leddy's they would make it right and would not stop until it was right. Ordered a pair and 9 months later they were ready. Gave me a call as they were being checked for quality assurance in the Fort Worth store, they are made in San Angelo, and to set up delivery and make sure everything was done correctly, before it shipped. Right out of the box they fit perfect, no break in required. I have a very difficult to fit foot and this was just amazing, perfect in every way. Other custom made boots have failed, there is no comparison. I hope to purchase a saddle someday as the quality is there as well. Reading some of the reviews and wanted to clarify some points. I paid half down and the other half when they shipped, just as they quoted. I called several times for an update and they always got back to me with the expected completion date and they were complete at the time they quoted. When I recently visited the Fort Worth store they treated me like a valued customer, or more like family. There was never any pressure to buy, they are always helpful to show me anything just to shop and look to get ideas. ML Leddy's is the finest quality, has great craftsmanship, and incredible customer service. They get it right and I am a customer for life. I am very happy the fourth generation is involved as it would be a tremendous loss for the tradition to ever end, I hope the next generation will step up and continue the legacy! read more

You pay for quality and that's what you get here. Custom orders can take time but well worth the wait and price. I have many boots from many different boot makers in Texas and even some Tecovas (in black because they get worn handful of times a year when I need a suit) and the Leddy boots are always my number one choice for day to day wear. Joe in the custom boot room is always a big help, very knowledgeable in how boots should fit. Never settle for less! Same goes with the hats, if you want a good quality felt that holds it's shape in the elements you need to spend the extra dime extra regardless the hat maker. Some of their boots are made in Mexico but the custom ones are 100% built for your foot at their original shop in San Angelo. West Texas tough! read more

This place has high quality, handmade leather goods. I was working with a gentleman, I believe his name was Kim, and he showed me the three colors of the goat leather boots. It was about 5:50pm and I had a health incident and needed to leave, and they close at 6 so I wasn't able to return. We also left town the following day, but I plan to be back. Kim was very attentive and measured my foot and offered suggestions and advice for proper fitting. He is a great salesperson, and I definitely trusted him with suggestions and would have purchased from him if I hadn't had a hypoglycemic attack :/ read more

The boots made here are the nicest, best fitting and most durable I have worn...ever. Gary Tucker learned here and later returned after he had his own boot making deal in Vegas. I have 2 pair now that he made after his return to Leddys San Angelo and love them. One set, I wear only in competition, and the other pair are being saved for my cowboy dress-up. They build their boots with a heavy solid steel shank, maybe a hammered nail. So they do not crow down over narrow stirrups. And they are also much more comfy for walking. Lots of support. If you like beautiful boots that are long time cowboy tested, these get the job done like none others I have had. read more

ML Leddy's - Shoe Stores Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Our first trip to Leddy's. Since it is a Fort Worth institution, we had high hopes to find a couple pair of their famous boots. We left, not being disappointed. Leddy's Boot and Saddlery is located in old town Fort Worth in the historic Stockyard district. It is stock show and rodeo week, so parking was a challenge. When the tourists leave, I'm guessing their proprietary lot is adequate (free parking). When you enter the store from the street corner, you need to walk straight through the front section of clothes to get back to the boot section. We were warmly greeted several times as we made our way back to browse the boots, so I didn't see the poor/indifferent customer service some of my other Yelp friends experienced. We browsed the women's "off-the-rack" selection and after about 5 minutes we were appropriately engaged by the sales staff. He expertly explained to us why Leddy boots are so sought after, and brought my wife a couple pair to try on. She agreed that the Leddy boots were really comfortable, and decided to wear hers out of the store instead of the Lucchese's she walked in wearing (high praise indeed). At that point, I became very interested, and started trying on men's boots. All during this period, the staff was extremely gracious and helpful. Our salesman even called over a more experienced staff member who got down on his hands and knees to check the fit on my boot. We got the feeling the whole staff was just concerned that we got the right pair of boots for us. The "off-the-rack" boot selection is very limited. While I was trying on a pair, my wife went into another back room full of boots. When she asked about the boots in this room (there were some amazing boots back there), we found that was the custom boot holding section. To get a pair of custom made Leddy boots is a 14 month wait! Fortunately, we both found a boot upfront, and the pricing was about a quarter what we paid for our Lucchese's. The Leddy custom boots can get up in that price range, but these were a tremendous value. We were very happy with our customer service experience, and value for what we got. If you are looking for a great pair of boots from a Fort Worth institution for making boots, I highly recommend you check them out. read more

This is the place to go for a custom cowboy boot. Leddy's has been in this FT Worth location since something like 1941. Talk about a solid business! They have a ton of history throughout Texas and Oklahoma. My Dad bought his first custom boots from Leddy's in the 1950's. They take at least an hour to make measurements,discuss the heel height, toe shape, colors, materials and make an outline of your foot in their ledger. I was able to locate my Dad's measurements and a boot order he placed over 10 years ago. It was kind of like going to a historic library of cowboy boots. The staff is awesome and there's nothing like the experience. read more

I had the opportunity to MC the Leander Libertyfest on 4th of July and well, it rained a LOT during the day. My favorite cowboy boots got super muddy and I had to find someone to fix'em up. Well! Talked to the guys at Leddy's and they said, 'Bring them in' and I did. They look as good as new and the two men that run the shoeshine/repair in the store are the friendliest and most diligent people I've met. My boots look fantastic and they maintained the vintage look of the leather. Great job, great guys. It's worth the trip to the Stockyards to get yer boots done. Happy GURRL here! read more
