I took my time to really get a feel of the store. I did see some nice items in the women's section, but nothing that really spoke out to me. It was a miss for me today. But maybe another day I'll find something. Austin and Texas t-shirts were a little higher price than some other places I've seen them selling for. A dress made in China was like $100.00. I wasn't feeling it.

The prices can be higher than other stores, but that's due to quality of materials. I've found some Italian, French and Spanish leather here. Feel confident in shopping with KidOshoes!

The lady was a bit rude in her tone and seamed upset after we decided not to purchase. We had no other option as they didn't carry shoes "wide enough" as she explained. I didn't pay to much attention to her until my 10 year old was able to point out her unprofessionalism to me. I would look other places if you're in the market for kid shoes.

We have been visiting Austin every couple of years since 2012, and have always wanted cowboy hat's…read more We usually visit the "famous" stores on Congress but have never found something that either of us like. And they tend to be a little "priced for the tourists". So have never gotten anything. Several months ago I happened to read a post on a car forum I belong to that mentioned Tinys. It said they were great....so we figured that we would pop in. It lives up to its name..its tiny! Its been in business since 1958, and I believe I read the current owners have been operating it at least 20 years. We walked in and were immediately greeted and told just to ask if we needed anything. We looked around at the products on display then I spotted it..... A hat I liked the look of!!!! I tried on the display one, the lady said to me...that looks.nice but you need a 7 one. Let me get you one to try. Now bear in mind she was at least 20 feet away......she got the appropriate size and opened the box and handed it to me. I popped it on and looked and behold, it was a perfect fit. SOLD! My wife then spotted one she liked.....we did a repeat of my experience and......SOLD...... 2 hats for basically the price of 1 at one of the Congress stores. Absolutely wonderful experience, amazing amount of stock....and tiny. Go visit, buy a hat, or a shirt or some boots. You won't regret it.

I went to SoCo for hats and cowboy boots, but I saw a hat that Allen Boots doesn't carry in my…read moresize. I was determined to snag my perfect cowboy hat and I found this shop on Yelp! I'm not from Austin, or Texas for that matter. This store is tucked away and kind of looks sketchy on the outside. Inside they have much more variety of hats, boots and clothes! I found the hat I wanted but not in the size I was supposedly was (got measured in Allen's and he was wrong). The owner was super helpful and despite her having to downsize twice to grab me the hat I wanted, she came up with an alternative. It was on the pricier side compared to the other one, but this one was definitely better quality. The shape of it wasn't the same as the one I wanted but she told me she could shape it for me and lo and behold I got the hat I wanted in better quality! :)

Alright, so it took me about six years to return to this place because I had some major PTSD from…read morean employee (who still happens to work here unfortunately). However, this time was a lot different and I was able to find the perfect gifts for my friend's birthday as well as fun items for myself. It seems like the selection has remained the same although Atown is keeping up with current and modern trends. For example, there were a lot of ICE based items tucked away as well as current celebrity crushes who are on everybody's minds. The coolest thing I found was a James Talarico candle but other than that, a lot of the items that were for sale were pretty kitschy and I believe they are the same wholesale items I have seen before. I must shoutout the incredibly helpful service from Audrey who went above and beyond to help me find items for my friend's birthday. She was super sweet, and I would've been wandering around the store aimlessly if it wasn't for her direction. Additionally, she even came up with combination gift ideas which was pretty sick. Atown is lucky to have her! I think my PTSD is no longer because of her assistance. Great store, unfortunately high prices. However, no one does it like Atown!

Shopping local for stocking stuffers for the wife and the former teen. Shana was with me so we…read moreseparated, this place has so much stuff, almost too much, it can be overwhelming and you know you missed things. There are 3 or 4 separate areas you can visit and they have things from locally made earrings and art to coasters, desk plates, rubber ducks of famous people, religious candles with random famous people, funny socks, clothes, and so much more. The staff is friendly and outgoing, they even had a woman at the door greeting you and offering you a hand basket if you wanted or needed one. There were 3 or 4 cashiers and at least one lady walking around greeting you and seeing if they could help. It is pricier then your chain store but the products are cooler, unique, and many times locally made. Things you can't get at other stores or amazon. Like so many places, it's one downside is parking. It is a small lot, if you part in front you basically have to back in to spot blocking traffic or back out into traffic. There is a small side lot that is better but you basically have to 3 point turn out of that spot. Always willing to pay a bit more to support local. We don't get out of our area/comfort zone much but we do love this place. #Supportlocal

I happened upon Special Addition while visiting Snarf's Sandwiches. Special Addition sells…read morematernity and nursing wear. They sell nursing bras. It's like a Petticoat Fair for nursing bras. I initially purchased three nursing bras while pregnant. Postpartum, my husband came back multiple times to purchase accessories for my Spectra pump. I paid $45 to get fitted for flanges with Susan. I thought it was helpful. While they didn't carry the size Susan had recommended, I did order them on Amazon. The fitting was helpful as Susan recommended the Pano shape by Maymom. The size Susan recommended was 2 mm too small, so I ended up ordering a larger size on Amazon. You can go +/- 1 to 3 mm on flanges. I also bought a new cover for a My Brest Friend pillow I received on Buy Nothing. This is a great maternity and postpartum store to visit.

The selection was a little sparse when I visited, but COMPARATIVELY it was a gold mine of Clothing…read moreThat Comfortably Fits My Enormous Third Trimester Body. I've hunted through so many department stores searching for maternity sections, and come up bupkis. But Special Addition was here for me like a true hero I managed to get most things on sale, except for the one pair of jeans I desperately needed. The sales gal was SUPER helpful and attentive, too, which was great. I'm hoping that next month maybe they'll have more color options (why are the majority of maternity clothes gray???).

I was looking for a popular brand of shoes that had recently come in a slide with a floral design. I had prepaid for them, so I was there to pick them. While I was there, I looked at a few other sandals and also bought a very nice pair of navy blue with a bit of navy blue sparkle on that sandal part. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized the sandals that I purchased online would not fit me. I don't know what I was thinking because slides never do fit my wide foot. I guess I thought they were more like flip-flops but my bad I didn't even open and checked them out while I was at the store. I'm hoping to be able to return them. I did meet the manager and will re-contact him when I get home, but I have no phone service at this time as I am out of the country. I'm very hopeful. I can get the very least due and exchange and apply the amount I paid toward a different style of shoe. There were a huge amount of different shoe design and the sizes were a very good range. I would hazardous that they have a shoe that would fit almost anybody. More more later when I get home from my vacation! More to come-

I've been to three different podiatrists in two states... each one with their own assessment, Orthotics , bigger size, wider , earth shoes and moon shoes.. as the years accumulated, I never understood why my much maligned feet hurt all the time. Bunyons, Morton's Neruoman (damn you Morton!!) the fungus amongus and fromunda.... Until today... I finally understood what each doctor had said to me, because it was explained to me by Mr. Scott at Karavel shoes... I went in today because of a recommendation from my doctor. Little did I know that I would be some of the greatest advice I've ever listened too, like "don't run with scissors " , " you probably shouldn't eat that" and the all time favorite, " Do whatever mom tells you to do" Mr Scott should receive a honorary doctorate from the school of podiatry! Just spoke to me in simple language until the lightbulb came on... I was sized correctly, laces tied correctly, (who knew!?" And left with confidence that some of my foot pain is going to be relieved.... I have so many people I want to bring here and introduce to Mr. Scott.... Especially my sister in law (Frederica Flintstone)
