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.

You can't come to Austin without checking out this store. You might think you don't want boots but after coming here, you might change your mind. In fact, even if you have no interest in boots at all, you should still visit this shop. It's a hoot. The music playing inside while we shopped was either dance music or disco. I can't remember. Either way, it seemed totally out of place but in a great way. This place is just fun. There are endless rows of boots here. Some are fairly modest in design and many are just out of this world. They really are art pieces. They have shirts and belts and other items, too, but you are here for the boots. Our group didn't buy any boots but the service we received was off the charts terrific. The woman who assisted us answered all of our questions and was very helpful and friendly. Make sure you check out the hats in the adjoining room next to the boots. I looked good in some of them and ridiculous in others. Find out how good you look in a cowboy hat. This is a must visit in Austin. It's located in the South Congress neighborhood, along the main drag.

When do you decide when you need new fitness shoes? When the swoosh symbol starts peeling off,…read moreyour rubber soles start separating from the main part of the shoe or you big toe starts to puncture through your shoe? Well all these were happening with the two pairs of shoes I work out with mostly. There is actually some scientific formula of when you need to replace your shoes based on the number of miles you put on them. I used have the exact amount when I was training for marathons. Now, I tell when I see the above items happening and when my feet start to hurt. I have high arches, so I can not wear all fitness shoes. My quest of new shoes led me to Nice kicks. The first thing that struck about Nice Kicks was the name...cool name. Hopefully, it was a sign that I could find some nice fitness shoes. Secondly, walking into the store from outside, I was met with ice cold air conditioning, which I rather loved. All of the shoes are nicely laid out throughout the store. In addition the floor to ceilings glass windows emitted immense natural light. I perused the stored, however, did not find any shoes for my high arches. Please note that the prices are on the high side in the store. They have a wide selection of eye-catching, unique shoes. While I did not purchase any shoes, the store help me narrow my shoe selection.

Most of the store had women's clothing and accessories, but some men's apparel was available in the back side of the store. The store had a good mix of new, seasonal and sale products. Newer products had much higher prices but the sale products had up to 70% off. They had a large fitting room section too where a friendly staff member was assisting the customers.

My first attempt was a failure because I had to go to the bathroom urgently and they don't have one. I rushed to the La Condesa restaurant across the street who were kind enough to let me use theirs. I returned to the store and spent my sweet time picking out options. One of the things that caught me eye ended up being a top, not a skirt. Since I was there solo, and carrying a lot of my own stuff, I asked the fitting room attendant if he could help me if sizes weren't wrong. He did this two separate times and was lovely throughout the whole experience! I decided to go with a different top as the one pictured, and in the wrong size, but I needed that denim crop. I'l probably eventually sell it but the green skirt is going to be one of my new staples for sure The other store attendant who helped me with the shirt/not a skirt debacle ended up being the one at the cash register and gave me a big shopping tote to fit my new clothes, and the personal belongings I couldn't fit inside my North Face backpack.

The location and the natural light are just perfect, even on a rainy day. Just when you think you have seen it all, there's a special, secret surprise in the lower walkout English Basement, their clubroom and speakeasy with it's own private patio.
