Not sure what happened to all those boots. Allen's Boots--South Congress This is my recommendation too. Locally owned and nice folks and one of my clients. They told me some good stories about folks in town for the rodeo coming in and seeing some of the rockers in for SXSW. There are several of the big chain places as well, Cavenders and Sheplers. Junior mentioned some places on S. Lamar which might be Amelia's or Flashback. Bracing for the influx of SXSWers looking for Mexican food (Polvos on South First, Hernandez on east 6th), boots (see above), vinyl (Musicmania and Treasured Tracs and Antones and Waterloo) and bbq (Kruez in Lockhart, Rubys in town, Iron Works but it's too crowded, Salt Lick in Driftwood).

Re: Boot Recommendations-Austin
Jerald remembers the names of those two vintage shops on S Lamar... Amelia's or Flashback. Which reminds me: there's another good vintage place way up North, just off 50th (I think?), not too far from Airport Blvd. They have more boots than Amelia's or Flashback, although the selection isn't as good as Under the Sun There are a couple up there, actually, but the one I'm thinking of is particularly good for cowboy boots, while the other is more 70s kitsch. It's on a corner, next to an expresso shop. Can't remember the name though, maybe "Tremors" or "Earthquake" or something hipster like that... --junior
