Allens Boots

An Austin institution since 1977, Allens Boots has been selling premium leather footwear to tourists and locals alike for decades at their original shop on South Congress Ave (there is also a location in Round Rock). You'll be hit with the smell of leather as soon as you walk through the door, then experience an existential crisis as you realize there's no way you'll be able to pick out just one pair of boots that fill the multiple aisles. Turquoise women's boots? Got 'em. Black studded men's boots? Allens has those too. Spend an afternoon trying them all before landing on the perfect pair.
