This was a stop on our scavenger hunt today and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. They willingly showed us their most expensive boot (gator skin) and answered questions from our group. We had a great time here!

Allen's Boots has been a spot I've been coming to since they first opened, but I've never seen it as busy as it was on this Saturday afternoon visit. The store was absolutely packed, yet there were still plenty of well trained staff helping customers. We didn't have to wait at all for assistance, which was great. We found a hat that was very close to what we were looking for, had it fitted, and it turned out great. After we made our purchase, they even took us over to their bar for a celebratory shot of whiskey. I love the poker playing raccoons! If you're looking for boots, hats, or just want the classic Texas boot store experience, Allen's is still worth the visit, even on a busy day.

Looking for the most authentic Texans (western) gear? Definitely this has been the most recommended place to find your first (or add to) your collection of boots, hats and fits. The moment you walk in you get that burst of leather smell and walls, and racks lined up with western gold. I personally didnt buy anything this time, but my bff wanted to buy some new boots and a Stetson! Definitely a place to check out here in Congress Ave.

Coat or hat rack!

This place was buzzing with customers. Has everything you need for every cowboy and cowgirl! lots of employees to service your needs and get you the right fit. I saw two Austin officers posted up so don't even try it! So much selection I'm sure you gonna find something no matter what your budget! Aloha from Hawaii

A girl can never have enough boots! I checked out all the boot stores on Congress and Allen's by far had the best price for the value. They also had the boots I wanted!!! Service was so great. They do work on commission so make sure you tell the cashier who was helping you! My husband ended up getting a pair of boots as well! Check mine out!

I don't even know where to start! Great selection of hats, many shaped to your liking, great selection of boots (didn't have my size in a popular Ariat style no biggie). I fell in love with the color of a hat but wasn't vibing with the shape, they made is almost exactly like the other hat I was buying and that was perfect. Matt and the gentleman who helped actually shape my hat were wonderful. Left with a beautiful black Stetson and a gorgeous brown Resistol. I was also able to get a more feminine bolo tie which I appreciate because that doesn't happen often! So many are too masculine for my liking. Overall, I'd suggest folks come here for great hats and boots versus some other spots in the area. Fair prices and close to everything you'd want to do down south.

ATX boots in a South Carolina asylum! LOL!

Let me preface this with the following information: I grew up in Midland, Texas and lived in Austin for 25 years off and on from 1986-2013, when I moved first to Terrell, TX and then to South Carolina. Let's just say Austin was no longer a friendly place to live for a social worker trying to get ahead (AKA buy a house some day). After 2 attempts to get to ATX in 2025, I finally gave up on the airlines and decided to drive. I made it on 2/28/26 with a long list of "errands" that included "buy cowboy boots at Allen's." Imagine my dismay and surprise to see scads of people lined up north of Allen's at a boot store that looked like it was straight out of IG. Who are these people and why are they queuing for an overpriced California-looking place when the real deal is just a few stores south?? We bought my daughter's first pair of boots (red ropers) at Allen's back in 1994/1995. Why mess with tradition? I'm an Aggie, so we cotton to tradition. Anyhoo, Pedro was helping me find some boots and I got down to two pairs that fit like a dream. When my friend asked which pair I would buy, I made a quick decision - both. After all, it took two cancelled flights and a (kid you not) wrench in my tire to make it to ATX. I wasn't going to waste the trip making hard decisions. It could be another 8 years before I make it to the place I still call "home." Thank you Pedro for your assistance. Maybe I'll get some ostrich boots next trip! I love my tall brown boots & my short green-blue boots! Wearing them just about every day here in Columbia, SC! I'm grateful to Allen's for being true Austin - I felt right at home and will treasure my boots!!

The store can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you find the aisle with your size it narrows down your options a lot! Pedro helped me out when my foot wouldn't go in a boot (shoutout the plastic bag), and I liked how he wasn't a pushy salesman egging me on to buy a pair, but instead just a guy wanting to help out. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny!!

A must see when In Downtown Austin. An amazing Legendary boot store! They have the biggest selection of boots and cowboy hats ever! They sell: boots, hats, handbags, incredible duffle bags, belts, buckles, jewelry etc. there's something for everyone. The staff are incredible. Dillon assisted us today with our boot purchase . He was so knowledgeable and helpful. This store is a must see when in Austin!

I don't get into AUSTIN very often. I was downtown with a business partner and our day didn't go as planned. We decided to take our business elsewhere and walk through the scenery of S. Congress Ave. We wandered into Allen's Boots as many people do I'm sure. I love the smell of the leather wafting into the street. I couldn't help myself side, dragged my friend in since he was looking for a cowboy hat. And like a couple of kids, we wandered to the aisles and tried it on different hats. We found a couple that looked really good on him as he is just a clown in general. Had a good time! No, had a great time! The prices were not cheap. Be ready to pull out your credit card because I don't ever carry that much cash. There are many different boots I would like to pick from, but I'm not a cowboy. I like the idea of wearing them, so I would have to come back another time so I could meander some more.

A must stop in Austin.

See all
