The other day, as I was shopping downtown, I cannot say how quickly, and warmly, I was greeted before I had 2 feet in the door at FM Light and sons! I take that personally., as this town is traditionally very friendly, and I know I can choose to shop locally, or just us my laptop on the Internet. I enjoy the many options they have from boots(my Old Gringo’s are complimented almost everyday) to western handbags, to clothing! Plus, they have great sales from time to time!

I do love cowboy boots and country bling. That said, as I was driving north towards Steamboat Springs, all the yellow signs for FM Light and Sons along the winding mountain highway caught my eye. I arrived in Steamboat a bit earlier than expected and had some time to pass — so i decided to check out FM Light and Sons. Cowboy boots? Yep. Country bling? A little bit, yes. Was I impressed? Uhm. not really. I loved the boots and a few of the accessories in the store, but otherwise, it felt like some touristy shop with basic ‘country’ clothing. Nothing stood out to me. I’ve been in several other shops with country/Western wear that seemed more authentic than FM Light and Sons. I’m not saying the store itself wasn’t authentic, but… again, nothing stood out. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe I was hoping for something a little more unique and less touristy. Not a bad shop, though. Always good to get a cowboy boot fix.

I expected it to be a little over-priced, but it wasn’t, tourist town or no, prices were close enough to what we’ve seen on-line that we were happy to buy a Pendleton blanket from them without feeling robbed. They have a selection(and prices) that range from tourist kitsch to the real thing — Pendleton blankets, Lucchese boots, Skully shirts/jackets… staff were great. No sense of burn-out whatsoever. I felt like they understood how important it is for a town like Steamboat to make one feel welcome… as a tourist no less.

Interesting little store. You see the signs as your driving towards Steamboat Springs(Very much like South of the Border in the Carolinas). They pull you in with the promise of Levis and $ 6.98 hats but the store is VERY expensive. Belts were about $ 90, Jeans about $ 80, one shirt was $ 125, even the socks were expensive. It’s a cute store and fun to look at but it’s WAY too expensive.

Very neat, family owned place. Like another reviewer said, this place has a little something for everyone. Every time we’ve been there the service has been excellent and you can sense the hometown feel. We love going in there, and we’ll definetly be repeat customers. It’s nice to support local business like this instead of all these chain stores.

Cowboy up! Western Wear for Steamboat Springs, in the same location for more than one-hundred years. What a fun place: Stetson hats, Tony Lama and Dan Post boots, Carhartt and Woolrich clothing, and more. We were in town for a mountaintop wedding, and the wife decided to swap out her spikes for a new pair of southwestern-style bejeweled sandals. I wasn’t sure how they would look with her little black dress, but several ladies were similarly attired, they all looked great, and I think those cushy soles doubled their time on the dance floor during the reception.

Great selection of boots. Rivals the boot retailers in Austin, TX. Staff was really helpful. Jaimie helped me pick out a new pair of Justins, and didn’t mind that I was picky, she just kept grabbing pairs off the shelf and helping me to try them on. Not pushy at all, but very informative.

Great place that seems to have a little bit of something for everyone. My family used to get blankets from this place way back in the day. This place has been around forever… pretty much one of Steamboat’s historical landmarks as far as stores go.

Yee haw! This place has a plethora of fun western gear. Hot cowboy shirts(modern ones too) for men, lots of cowboy boots and Western accessories. You can enter a man and leave a cowboy if you wanted to here.

Admit it: You, the City Slicker, always wanted a REAL pair of cowboy boots. Not a pair that anyone could buy at Nordie’s, but a pair with glorious hand-stitched wildly fancy embroideries. A pair appropriate for your re-creation of High Noon with the local Frenemy #1. Well you, City-SlickRick, shall follow the Yellow Sign Road to downtown Steamboat. You shall get your kit on, hit it at High Noon.
