Taylor Swift’s Cowboy Boot Fixation

That’s right, folks, Taylor Swift wears and cares!  The 21-year-old country-pop si—wait, what?  We’re gonna let us finish, but she’s 21?* Great, now we feel old.  Just great.  At least it’s not a Monday.  Anyway, the really young country-pop singer-songwriter has more than multi-platinum hit-making bona fides to her name.  She’s also getting increasingly known [...]

Austin Fashion Week: It Looms!

Austin Fashion Week approaches, and with it comes all the pomp and grandeur associated with fashion weeks the world over, blended with, of course, that laid-back weirdness bumper stickers around town are always telling us to keep.  Does this mean that we’ll see more outrageously in-your-face designs like those purple Lucchese boots we wrote up [...]

Cowboy Boots: (Will They) Fit For a Prince?

The Boot Blog belatedly jumps into some royal wedding coverage: Prince William (he of the recently married Will & Kate (Middleton) duo from across the pond) will be visiting Calgary, Alberta with a pair of cowboy boots he bought in Ottowa!  That’s right: According to an article in the Ottowa Citizen, Prince William will be attending [...]

Lucchese Boots: Bold and…Uh, Yeah, Basically Bold

Readers of this space from back in the day are well aware of the fact that we’re big fans of Lucchese boots.  The reasons why are obvious: They’re exceptionally well-crafted, come from a strong familial tradition of boot-making the right way, and are unerringly handsome pieces of footwear. Well.  I guess that last point might [...]

Resistol Hats

At Allens Boots, we offer an excellent selection of cowboy hats such as Resistol hats to supplement our other Western wear.  ”Supplement” is actually really a bad word, because it suggests that we’ve thrown in our selection of Resistol hats to the mix willy-nilly.  The truth of the matter is, we’re every bit as proud [...]

Western Shirts: Choices, Choices, Choices!

If you know Allens Boots for anything, it’s probably for the rear-kickingly awesome selection of cowboy boots we have to offer.  (And, since you’re reading this blog, chances are you know something about us.)  We’re justifiably proud—or should we say Justin-fiably proud? of our array of cowboy boots, but we’ve got a lot more to [...]

Tony Lama Boots

Tony Lama boots are among our favorite brands of cowboy boot out there.  And yeah, we know we probably say that about a lot of different kinds of boot brands, from Lucchese boots to Justin boots and everything in between, but you’ll just have to forgive us if we’re a little bit passionate about our [...]

Motorcycle Boots

At Allens Boots, we’re big fans of boots of all varieties, from cowboy boots (obviously) to motorcycle boots (somewhat less obviously) to kids boots (impossible not to love, really).  Though we really spend a lot of time going on and on about cowboy boots, recounting the finer histories, details, and assorted lore behind the industry’s [...]

Ariat Boots: What’s Not to Love?

Ariat boots are just one example of the many different unique brands and styles of boots we have for sale.  Though we’re obviously more well-known for our diverse array of cowboy boots, there’s a lot more that we have to offer, and our aforementioned line of Ariat boots is an important part of that.  Ariat [...]

Cowboy Boots: Fit For All Seasons

The warming-up months are just around the corner, and though cowboy boots are perfect complements to winter weather chill, they are just as at home bookending a pair of legs with some shorts.  (For women, anyway.  Being a guy and doing the shorts/boots thing is a little gutsy for us.  Then again, we’re clothing traditionalists.)
