 Western wear institution |
1522 S. Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 447 1413 http://www.allensboots.com |
Smack in the middle of the funky shops reviving this South Congress shopping district lies an old-fashioned Western store that's been here for years. The tan stucco exterior is pretty non-descript, but the boot-emblazoned sign by the door leaves no doubt as to Allen's leanings. This is a serious shop for serious Western wear, from the Wranglers to Justin boots and more. This is where you can grab a classic Resistol hat and a pair of ropers, or a fancier set of lizard or snake skin boots. Fancy duds are available, but so are serious work clothes. While urban cowboys are welcome to shop here, the store caters to the real thing, too. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Everything under one roof |
2525 W Anderson Ln Austin, TX 78757 United States +1 512 451 9311 |
Consider this north Austin mall as an alternative to the colder, more impersonal mega-malls that have become standard in recent years. This shopping center is a bit cozier, with some unusual finds inside. Despite its smaller size, though, shoppers will still be able to browse department stores like Oshman's and Bealls, or catch a movie at the resident theater. In addition, the mall offers the only ice skating rink in town, and is home to specialty shops such as Gamefellas, Lammes Candies, and Guitar Center, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts.
