Cavender’s Boot City

Nice store. Clean and nicely organized. However, i came out empty handed. First, older gentleman sales associate pestered me. I asked him after the 3^rd time to please allow me time to look. Then all of the ladies department is geared for small perfect size and measurements 20 – 30 somethings. No blouses or tops for «real» size women (size 12) with curves. I was really apprehensive to try on jeans. I felt «followed around» which made me walk out the door empty handed.
If your a young cowgirl or cowboy, this place is perfect. Healthier middle aged women, you need to go elsewhere. Sad, because I was ready to dump a lot of cash in there because I like the cowgirl look.

While in Amarillo, Texas, my sister suggested we go to this store as I was thinking about buying a cowboy type shirt. This store has every thing you could want in the way of western wear. It’s a large store and many items were on sale. I bought 4 shirts and a jazzy expensive western belt. They had a $ 1,000.00 Stetson hat, but I was able to resist. The service was outstanding.

Justin was amazing helping us find my daughter’s first cowboy hat! Only draw back is there is not a lot to choose from when you wear an 11 ion women’s boots!

I really liked Cavender’s! Such a huge selection of boots, western wear, and heavy duty outerwear as well. The staff is very friendly and checks up on you to make sure you’re finding everything that you need. Great place to stop in Amarillo!

The people who helped us were super friendly and extremely helpful. We found a couple pairs of great boots at a fair price right away.

Ich, damischer Tourist, wollte mir in USA unbedingt einen Cowboy-​Hut kaufen.
Da ich 2003 hier schon mal einen Hut gekauft habe, war Cavender’s natürlich auch 2011 DIE Adresse für mich, um eine passende Kopfbedeckung zu erwerben.
Der Laden ist riesig!
Hier gibt es alles! Hüte, Jeans, Jacken, sogar Sättel.
Ich also rein und die Hutabteilung angesteuert.
Ich habe mich keine Minute dort umgeschaut, da wurde ich schon von einem Mitarbeiter angesprochen.
Was für eine kompetente Beratung!
Stoff? Stroh? Stroh.
Billig oder teuer? So in der Mitte.
Coolen Hut für ca. $ 50 gefunden.
Wie soll der Rand gebogen sein?
Keinen Plan! Aber dank der guten Beratung wurde mir mein Hut so gebogen, dass es gut aussieht.
Wer im Big Texan übernachtet, findet an der Rezeption einen Gutschein für Cavender’s.
Dafür bekommt man eine Gürtelschnalle umsonst.
Eine Lone-​Star-​Gürtelschnalle.
Der Lone Star ist DAS Symbol für Texas.
Diese Gürtelschnalle trage ich noch heute mit Stolz.
TOP Laden! Nur zu empfehlen!

There are only two boot stores in Texas I’ve found that have my size 13EE in stock. Allens Boots in Round Rock (not Austin) and Sheplers in Austin. Cavenders in Amarillo and Dallas also had zero inventory.

I’m hoping to fare better with this review than I did with the last two. I dunno if it was because it was an outta-​town review or because I didn’t drop 10 F-​Bombs and make poop and fart references.
It’s time to up the motherfucking ante here, ok?
God, I am such a poseur. Really, I should be publicly flogged and made to feel intense shame. Small children ought to point and laugh at me as I cry tears (of a clown). I’ll get back to this though.
On a recent trip to Santa Barbara, my companion and I decided to take Historic Route 66 on our way home to Chicago. Highly recommended by the way. Somewhere around Gallup, NM we got it into our heads that we were cowpokes. Driving a noisy, diesel-​powered Suburban through the desert while eating chile picante (con limon!) flavored Corn Nuts for days on end will mess with your sense of reality. By the time we hit Amarillo, we had the hats and gosh dog it we needed some damn boots to go with.
Cavender’s is the Bloomingdale’s for ranch hands. Upon entering the establishment we were immediately greeted and assisted by a clean cut gentleman in starched Wranglers. Any woman with a semblance of a cowboy fetish would have gladly jumped him on the spot.
After ushering us to the men’s boot section he said, «My name’s Chance, just lemme know if y’all need help with anything.»
CHANCE! Chance. That’s almost as awesome as «Duke» or «T. Boone» or «Stetson.»
The boot selection was so impressive. It took me about half an hour to narrow it down to the Right Pair. And they’re real beauts, I tell ya. But not only can one get boots here, there’s everything from lassos, lariats, saddles, full Western wear, knives, hats… you can even get a haircut and a shave in their mini-​barber shop.
So back to my being a raging poseur! The whole time I was kind of expecting to get laughed out of this place. My obnoxious accent would NEVER allow me to belie myself as a girl born south of the Mason-​Dixon line. I could see a Pace Salsa commercial erupting at any moment.
«This stuff made in New York City!»
«NEW YORK CITY!?»
But thankfully we didn’t get run out of a rail! Everyone was very nice to us and for that we dropped a King’s ransom up in this bitch. These boots are the shit too. I’ve been sleeping in them. That’s what cowboys do, right?
For your enjoyment:

THE best place for boots in Amarillo, TX.
I stopped here back in June 2010 (I was here before about 10 years ago). Their boots and western wear are top notch and the staff is so helpful and full of knowledge that you owe it to yourself to stop here when in town. My boots are old now but still holding up very well.
