"It" Kickers
Long before it became a statewide chain of eight Western wear stores, Saba's was a Scottsdale institution. Nothing says "Southwest style" like the boots and duds found in this slick family operation, which still calls Scottsdale home with three shops there.
Founded in 1927 by milliner David Saba, Saba's started out selling rustlin' gear to real live cowboys. Today, Saba's is more about fashion than outfitting ranch hands, and its wide selection of 10-gallon hats, boots, and clothing for men, women and children is a national treasure, right here in our own backyard. The chain's newest location, Saba's Famous Texas Boots, displays the Southwest's largest selection of hand-made, custom cowboy boots. Locals can't kick their pride in this urban cowboy Mecca — and why should we?
