About this tip
M.L. Leddy's has made boots and saddles by hand since the 1920s, and the fourth generation of the family runs it today. The Fort Worth shop is on North Main Street in the Stockyards. Its own site now lists only two stores, this one and San Angelo, since the Sundance Square store closed years ago and moved inventory here. Custom boots take time to make, so ask about timing before you buy.
