Boot Factory Outlet — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

The Wyck Recommendation: Boot Barn (Opry Mills, Nashville) Rating: 3.8/5 Same Boots, Fewer Bachelorettes (And No Tequila Breath)

Intro Scene Walked into Boot Barn at Opry Mills expecting chaos, crowds, or at least one guy loudly debating boot polish. Instead? Silence. Peace. You could hear the leather breathe. The mall was half-empty, the store even more so. It felt like cowboy retail… on Xanax.

What Was Ordered Three pairs of boots—real leather, mix of men’s and women’s, around $300 total. Exact same selection as the Broadway store. Exact same sizing. Exact same Made-in-Mexico label. Only difference? No one bumped into me while I was trying them on.

Service Commentary Service was lovely—quiet, unbothered, and helpful without hovering. The staff were relaxed but ready, answering fit questions and helping with wide sizes and heel slippage tips like seasoned boot whisperers.

Vibe Check Chill. Borderline meditative. No loud music. No drunk tourists testing out square toes. You’re alone with the boots, your thoughts, and maybe one bored dad looking for a bench. If Broadway is a mechanical bull, this is a rocking chair.

The Space Itself Spacious and eerily quiet. Clean layout. Neatly stocked shelves. Everything smells like leather and forgotten mall dreams. You can actually think in here—try stuff on, wander, breathe.

About the Neighborhood It’s in Opry Mills Mall—aka the land of elbow room and free parking. You’re not dodging bachelorettes or paying $30 for valet. But don’t expect much else. It’s not a vibe. It’s a pit stop.

Broadway vs. Opry: The Boot Barn Mirage Let’s kill the myth right now: this is the exact same inventory as Broadway. Same brands. Same prices. Same “three for $300” deal. If you thought driving here meant saving money—nope. This is just Broadway without the screaming and tequila breath. A factory outlet in name only.

Buying Cowboy Boots: What They Don’t Tell You

My pair ran half a size up—yours might not. Try everything.

Wide feet? Ask early. Some brands pinch hard.

Your heel should lift slightly—if it doesn’t, they’re too tight.

Toes: snug but not suffocating. This isn’t a torture chamber.

Leather stretches, but it won’t perform miracles.

Don’t ignore the women’s section. Or the men’s. Style is fluid, and your ego can sit down.

Smell test matters. Good leather smells like ambition. Bad leather smells like glue and regret.

Hits & Misses ✓ Super chill atmosphere—no pressure, no panic ✓ Same quality boots as Broadway ✓ Helpful staff, real leather, wide sizes available ✗ Zero ambiance—more outlet than outlaw ✗ No deals despite the “outlet” label ✗ Quiet enough to hear your financial regrets echo

Final Verdict Boot Barn at Opry Mills is for the introverted cowboy. You get all the boots, none of the Broadway breakdowns. If you want a calm, sober shopping trip with the same exact product line—come here. Just don’t expect outlet prices. It’s the same boots, fewer bachelorettes, and not a single whiff of tequila breath.

Cowboy shopping without the honky-tonk drama

People who hate crowds but...

The first thing i wanna say is... If you ain't got boots to look around for new ones you might end up laying your old souls to rest looking for a decent boot in Nashville without taking a second mortgage on your house normally running in the vicinity of 300 greenbacks! (USD) I travel 11hours a year (one way) from Windsor Ontario Canada just for boots that cost 250 to 400 in Canada and you only get one pair.. but them again there is this shinny new gem of a store called Boot Factory Outlet there are 2 in short distance of Broadway street. i wasn't a fan of the one on Broadway St Nashville due to it being heavily over shopped so, the selection was slim to none, I ended up taking the trip to Opry mall where I hit the jack pot. selection was OK, Prices were great and in my budget! and the staff were laid back, gave you room to shop freely and went above and beyond my expectations. so much so i bought 5 pairs of boots! I would like to take the time to single out 2 of the sales staff that helped me find actually what I'm looking for his name was Bond (real name) a true 007 of the boot world armed with a radio that he radioed in my sizes to a secret location and within minutes the boots appeared! then there was JJ she was the female @ cash that i normally would have bought 3 pairs of boots but told me about the 4 and 5th buying option. so i bought 2 more pairs at 1/3 the cost. So here's how it works if you buy one pair of boots you get 2 more of equal or less value free ! if it is equal or less than you highest pair. meaning you pay for the highest pair but here's the kicker... there is a 4 and 5th pair option? yes it is true my cowboys friends... after 3 pairs and get the 4th or 5 pair at 1/3rd the cost ! my persona bill of sale is 300 USD X 5 pair of boots came to a grand total if 546.00 USD i bought 4 pairs at 300 and 1 pair at 249 tax in! the only uncomplimentary comment i can give this store is you need more Snip-toe style boots. thank you staff at the boot factory outlet Opry Mall local and thanks JB Dillon for making my trip to Nashville a very pleasurable and not so expensive expense.. now let's work on bringing the prices of beer and liquor down on Broadway street ...9 bucks a beer...

Terrible customer service. I asked an associate who was just standing up front, for help looking for a size I did not see on the floor. She took the shoe and never came back. 15 minutes later my husband waited in line to asked the same associate for help with the same shoe, she told him he would have to wait while she rang up the customers behind him. Then another associate started helping us, she gave up and was found wondering around the men's area. When the original lady finally approached me, 30 minutes later, with the pair of shoes in her hand I said "Oh you found them" only to be told no those were the original pair I gave her and that they were short staffed and the person in the back room was on lunch, vut they did have the size I needed.

Don't waist your time or money here. Go buy 1 pair of good boots at a reputable establishment, your feet and your patience...
