Wild Bill’s Western Store

I only came in because I needed a specific thing I saw on their website to purchase as a gift.
No one greeted my friend and I when we walked in. Employees don’t wear nametags or anything so it was difficult to figure out who to ask for help. No one asked to help us, despite the fact that I was obviously wandering around the store in search of something.
Finally found what I needed on my own accord. Cashier was unfriendly and talked to her co-​workers while she completed my transaction.
Even though there was a lot of merchandise selection, I would not return.

The staff was friendly! Bought my first pair of cowboy boots! Had them mailed to me so I didn’t have to carry them on the airplane home. Great selection! The boots seem to be awesome quality! Wore them yesterday and felt so great!!!

This store is a bunch of fun!
We came here on our second to last day in Dallas. I mean we needed souvenirs and who doesn’t love a wild west store? The outside looks small but inside is massive! Tons and tons and tons of boots, cowboy hats where they’ll also fit you, clothing, knick knacks, you name it they have it.
Service is friendly and helpful. Boots are broken down by size and clearance racks. Prices can be a bit steep but they have good quality items. If I could have shipped 5 pairs of boots, I would have done so.

Bucket list in life has been to buy cowboy boots in Texas and I’m so glad I found this place on Unilocal!Though I splurged a bit, the entire experience was great! The people there were super helpful and Bill definitely made me feel at ease when the amount of boots I could look at became overwhelming. Def come check this place out!

WARNING: The smell of leather in this shop is seriously overwhelming, it gave me a headache after a few minutes! Also, animal lovers beware! There are seats made of animal skin and bones in this shop, as well as rows upon rows of leather boots!
There was a huge selection of boots for both men and women (separate sections, hats off to them for organizing so many boots). Also, there were more fun things like belts and shirts for tourists who weren’t looking for a serious investment. My parents both bought boots, and they were pretty pricey! They seemed to be in good quality, but $ 500 for a pair of boots is a little ridiculous (in my opinion).
They had pretty good customer service, the staff seemed to know what they were talking about. Everyone was really nice and eager to help!

I was impressed by the service offered at this location. I went in to exchange a pair of cowboy boots that were tight for me (width D) and which I had order online from wild bill’s. They told me to come in and try out the same boot but in a little wider size, like EE. The salesman located one and had me put it on. He checked out the various aspects of it and told me to take a walk inside to test the fitness. The shoe was quite comfortable and he exchanged it with the one I had brought in. No additional costs to me. I was quite lucky, that I did not have to send it back via UPS for the exchange. Great store, if you are in the Downtown Dallas area.

Great western wear store. Little John helped me pick out a nice pair of Lucchese boots for around $ 300. Looking online, I found the same pair of boots for $ 380, so it seems that the prices are good, too. I had a complementary Shiner Bock (beer) while I tried on a few different pairs, which is another nice thing about shopping here. In summary, they have nice and helpful staff, good selection, and good prices. You can’t go wrong.

Great place! I enjoyed the beer while looking around. Very low pressure sales tactic. These folks enjoy what they do. Prices are reasonable, but your going to spend a little… so be prepared. The store is right in the heart of a bunch of nice restaurants. The area was packed with Texas/​Oklahoma college students for the Cotton Bowl… not sure if is always like this or not.

My cousin was in town from Minneapolis this weekend and was dying to get herself some real Texan signature cowgirl boots. I had no idea where to go so I searched on Unilocal to find this 4.5 star business nearby. Parking was a little tricky in the West End, but we figured it out. The place was fantastic. Western style clothing is not my style at all, but I found myself even wanting a pair of boots. They had such a cute selection of boots, jewelry, hats, clothing and souvenirs. All price ranges. A guy dressed in tight Wranglers, a leather belt with a TEXAS buckle and a sturdy white cowboy hat helped us. He was very charming and helpful. His name was «Lil John»… I kid you not. I giggled when he told us and asked him «like the rapper?» He said that there are two Johns that work there and they distinguish between them because he is the shorter of the two. Funny stuff.
In any case, Lil’ John gave us great service. Helped us both try on different pairs of boots. I didn’t leave with anything but tried a lot on, and my cousin left with a pair of detailed deep red $ 270 boots. She was happy and so was I! Anytime I am able to experience a cool local business that I wouldn’t have otherwise checked out, it’s a win in my book. If Western is your thing, this is a fantastic store with excellent, knowledgeable folks who work there.

Very cool place, a little overwhelming at first.

This is a pretty wild store, that’s for sure! It’s so stereotypically Texan that when guests come visit from out of state, this is the first place I take them when they want to buy «Texas-​themed» souvenirs.
The store seems to be two parts: the serious cowboy stuff (cowboy boots, cowboy hats, tanned leather jackets) and the souvenir stuff. Shirts that say «Texas» or «Cowgirls Do It Better». Felt cowboy hats and hobby horses for kids. Keychains and pens that say «Dallas». Lots of jewelry (the cheap kind, and the more expensive kind).
Their boot collection is truly impressive. Full walls of cowboy boots, and they will custom make you boots if you want (according to their sign – I haven’t taken them up on this). To try on a pair, you can sit on huge couches and chairs made from cow skin and horns.
So yes, not a place I come every day, but a great tourist destination if you’re looking for playing cards with cowboys on them, or a really nice, really expensive pair of new leather boots.

I don’t write many Unilocal reviews. Generally only if a place is exceptional. Obviously, based on the prelude, this store is one of those places!
I’ve only been to Dallas twice (for conferences), and both times I’ve had the good fortune to visit this store (near the JFK memorial). On each visit, I’ve been assisted by Bill Nelson, a man that obviously loves his job. I love it when a salesperson is helpful, genuinely friendly, and not pushing a sale, and this man embodied all those traits (even providing me with a cold beer to help pass the time).
During this last visit, they didn’t have exactly what I wanted. (Boots I had tried on the year before, but unfortunately didn’t choose to purchase at the time!) Bill Nelson and Bruce Bean called all around the area (and to the Lucchese company directly) in an effort to get the customer what he wanted expeditiously (since I was only in town for the week).
In summary, reasonably priced products (since I compared larger $$$ purchases online), a very helpful staff, and a fun place to browse around! Despite the location, it’s NOT a tourist trap, and a genuinely nice place to visit/​shop. I hope I have the opportunity to visit again down the road. Thanks!!!

Michelle was very helpful but not overbearing. Nice selection of boots — you can spend $ 140 all the way up to $ 300 or $ 400 and more if you like. Don’t park in the back lot.

My kids wanted to go in last night but we missed it. Today is Sunday and we walked in 5 minutes until closing. All three kids wanted to buy something and they never once told us to hurry or said that they were closing. My girls now feel that they have an authentic TX souvenir!
Definitely the place to go for a great selection of boots, hats and western wear/​jewelry! Kid section in the back.

Located in Old town/​museum district Dallas, this is a super cool retailer shop to visit for authentic Country gear!
Parking is a little difficult, so we parked a few blocks away at a meter and walked over.
Inside, they sell various brands of boots, clothing, and hats.
I was tempted to get a Stetson after trying it on, but my wallet said otherwise ;)

Talk about a friendly store. My friends and I came in around 545pm and the store was closing at 6. Met Wild Bill the owner and Bill the salesman. Both were really friendly and I felt no pressure in finding or buying boots. Even though the store was closing there was no pressure on trying to get us out.
If you are in the Dallas area, you should check out this store if you want anything from cowboy boots to cowboy hats and anything in between.

I came here yesterday to buy a pair of cowboy boots while I’m still in Dallas-​I thought that was suiting-​and was not disappointed. The store sparkles with the most beautiful selection of boots I’ve ever seen, and it has an air of authenticity you can’t get anywhere else.
Jim was so helpful. He took the time to explain to me the difference between wearing boots and regular shoes and tidy have taken boots on and off my feet at lest a dozen times (it’s tricky if you’ve never done it before!).
At the end of it I chose a gorgeous pair of RED Dan Post boots that will have heads turning when I’m back home.
Couldn’t be happier!

i was born in texas. and so it’s a shame that i don’t have cowboy boots, no? EXACTLY. during my recent visit to dallas, i walked in all excited to get myself a pair of handmade boots (which is why they are pricey, people).
unfortunately, by no one’s fault other than mine, my feet are too small for any shoe in here. except for one pair that works if i wear thicker shoes! so i bought them, of course.
the workers were so so helpful and friendly and they have so many items for that random souvenir for your 4 baby cousins that are patiently waiting for you back home (purely theoretical situation: P)

I love this store. I only buy things every so often from here but it’s fun to go in and look around. They have a great selection of boots and can even build custom boots for you! The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Whether you’re a tourist or a local I recommend stopping in!

I was assisted by Bill himself, as I was trying to buy my first pair of cowboy boots. The selection here is fantastic, the quality is superb, and the service is outstanding! The staff is super friendly and hospitable, especially Bill — store manager and owner.
I love to Texan charm of the staff and their willings ness to serve you, I will definitely be back!
Thank you to all the staff for your kind service, specially Bill.

Cooler Western Wear Laden, der eine grosse Auswahl an Western Sachen hat sagenhafte Stiefel und Hüte in unterschiedlichsten Preislagen. Das Beste war der tolle Service, eine wirklich an uns interessierte Servicedame kümmerte sich von A bis Z um uns und machte unseren Aufenthalt perfekt. Daher liessen wir auch Geld hier. Sehr schön und empfehlenswert in Doentown Dallas. Aber aufpassen: Nicht alle Stiefel können in Deutschland eingeführt werde, denn das Leder, aus dem die Stiefel gefertigt werden kann auch in Deutschland nicht einfach einzuführen sein. Freundlich formuliert.
