UPDATE (5/28/24) RESOLVEDUPDATE (5/13/24). Still no communication from Alvie's. I have emailed 7 times and called 6 times, about once a week. I returned the boots at my expense and have not been reimbursed. I have filled a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.I have purchased a pair of boots. I really like them, but they are too small. I have been trying to return them for 3 weeks and haven't gotten a follow up via phone or email. Hope to update with a positive review when this is resolved.

I partnered with Alvie’s as an influencer for a giveaway, and when it came time to give my giveaway winner her prize- they never delivered it and ghosted me via email, phone call, and Instagram. I would never buy or support from this brand, again.

Worst pair of boots I've ever bought, which is actually not the reason I'm leaving this review. I also bought a pair for my GF, which she liked a lot. So despite the fact they can't make a 13D boot that fits a 13D foot (and I've worn boots for 20 years now, ranging from Luchesse to Los Altos to Justin and points in between), I would have probably bought some again for the GF.However, after leaving a review for the Lamars on their website and receiving a confirmation email thanking me for it, I noticed a few weeks later that it was gone.So kiddos, why do their boots have such rave reviews on their website? Well, it would seem because they delete anything critical of their boots.I'm not the only review to allege their being a dishonest company here and at other places on the web, and I'm happy to add to the chorus. There are a ton of other boot makers out there who not only make better boots but also don't groom their reviews to present higher customer satisfaction than they also have.And customer service? Fit sherpa? Give me a break. As soon as you scuff the soles, you're done as far as sending them back. You'll get a full court press telling you how they will break in because X,Y, or Z reason, ensuring that ,well after you've realized your pair of Alvie's just plain doesn't come anywhere close to fitting like other boots, you're stuck with them.Screw these guys. Unfortunately a perfect representation of Austin these days - a whole lot of shiny packaging with no actual substance to be found underneath.

Bad business practice, ZERO integrity! They will steal 500 bucks from you in a heart beat then ignore you! Condescending and beyond rude! Trash company trash boots!

Ordered the BFG boots for my son. They arrived in time for Christmas. Beautifully made. Obvious high quality. Will be ordering some for myself.

I have punched two pairs of boots and two pairs of flip flops. Of all the boots I own, my Alvies are the most comfortable and look the best. I wear them all over north Texas. If you want comfort and afforability these are the boots for you!

Ordered The Comal after wearing a hole in my Lucchese over the last 5 years. Similar style requiring what feels like a very very short break in period. The leather is very soft and playable right out of the box. Wore them for the first time today and they have all the hallmarks of a premium boot.

I was shopping around for a new pair of cowboy boots when I was visiting Austin and found Alvies. I was impressed by their prices and quality. The quality and style are timeless. Best pair I have ever owned. I also love the way Alvies gives back to the local community.

If you are looking for a traditional style boot in a few colors, check this place out. They have snip and j toe Boots, in black or brown, in a few types of leather (cow, string Ray, and ostrich). I just bought a pair of black Alvies from the Airstream trailer. I tried on boots all over town, and these boots rivialed the fit and feel of boots costing several hundred dollars more, especially a few of the 'name brands'. The store was low pressure and no rush. Time will tell how well they wear and break in.

Beautiful boots I love the designing on them and so far have been holding up. Im going to Arizona for horse back riding in April and these boots will work great! Definitely give them a try! Thanks Rickshaw!

Great boots! I highly recommend Rickshaw Boot & Flip Flop. For Christmas I received a pair of Rickshaw boots and I absolutely love them!! The boots I was given, the Python Riding style, are very unique and elegant. Without fail every time I have worn them someone has complimented me on them. The boots are also incredibly comfortable and well made.

I have a pair of the Sting Ray boots, I love them for all occasions. They are great with jeans, slacks and khakis. Clay and Alvie were a great help getting me set up. I had to try several pairs and was about a size and a half smaller than I am in most shoes, but they are worth the extra time that it took to get them right and the guys never lost patience with all the boots I tried on. I will be back to get a brown pair of boots soon!!!
