Remember when an airstream trailer was used for traveling down the open road with adventures in sight? Yeah, me either. These days you are highly more likely to find a trailer full of cupcakes rather than a family of four and their border collie. But what about an airstream full of designer shoes? Appropriately located on South Congress, Bootlegis the first shoe boutique run out of a trailer. While I can’t picture many Austinites purchasing shoes that cost more than their month’s rent, they are definitely fun to look at, drool over, and try on. The good thing about looking at $1,000 shoes is that then the shoes priced at $100 seem like a steal. Or maybe that’s a bad thing? I can’t decide! But, I’ll be coming back to Bootleg when either A) I win the lottery B) Something really bad happens and I need a shopping induced smile or C) I just want to look at really cool shoes.
