Allens Boots
The giant red boot on SoCo marks a family-run store since 1977 with thousands of Luccheses, Justins and Old Gringos stacked wall to wall in a room that smells like leather.
YETI Flagship Store
The Austin-born cooler brand's first store at the foot of SoCo has a bar, a custom-engraving station, a wall of tumblers and a taxidermied bear for the obligatory photo.
Howler Brothers South Congress Outpost
The Austin surf-and-fly-fishing label's own shop on SoCo, stocked with Gaucho snapshirts, pearl-snap westerns and hats for people who want to look like they just got off the river.
STAG Provisions for Men
The original SoCo menswear shop that set the template for Austin's rugged-heritage look, with raw denim, Filson, RRL and a barbershop feel in an old brick storefront.
Feathers Boutique Vintage
A tightly curated vintage boutique on the south end of SoCo, two decades in, where '70s dresses, western shirts and festival-ready pieces are sorted by color and priced fairly.
Big Top Candy Shop
A circus-themed sweet shop on SoCo with bulk bins of nostalgic candy, a working soda fountain that pulls phosphates and egg creams, and sideshow decor for the kids.
South Congress Avenue
The postcard strip of boots, vintage, taco trucks and the I Love You So Much wall, still worth an afternoon even as national brands move in beside the old-timers.
Tecovas Flagship
The Austin direct-to-consumer boot brand's SoCo flagship, with a free beer while you try on handmade ropers, a hat bar for shaping, and lower prices than the old-line boot shops.
Heritage Boot
Handmade and vintage cowboy boots fill this South Congress storefront, where a resident cobbler still resoles and repairs pairs bought decades ago.
New Bohemia
Racks of band tees, denim, and one-off vintage pieces make this South Congress staple a regular stop for stylists and thrifters alike.
Roadhouse Relics
Todd Sanders' neon sign studio and shop sells hand-bent vintage-style neon art, from small tabletop pieces to the kind of glowing signs that made him an Austin icon.
Texas Traditions
A custom cowboy boot maker near South Congress hand-building bespoke boots to order, a slow, old-world craft with a waitlist to match.
The Great Outdoors
A beloved South Congress area nursery with winding paths through native plants, a koi pond, and a laid-back garden shop feel.
