ALVIES is the OFFICIAL BOOT MAKER of the RUNNING COWBOY.

​

We say Alvies are Designed for Life. And sure, that means that they’re made to last and able to take you on all your adventures. But it also means they’re built with purpose — footwear that stands for something. They were dreamed up in Austin, Texas. By a guy named Alvie.

​

Our founder Alvie is a practical man who knows that the feet are the heat regulation center of the body. That’s why he grew up as a flip-flop guy. He wore them to his college graduation. He wore them in every kind of weather. He wore them all around the world.

​

Alvie’s grandfather was a WWII veteran, a long-time adventurer and a lifelong boot guy. Over the years, he built up a serious collection of beautiful, high quality cowboy boots. When Grandpa Alvie passed away in 2000, Alvie IV inherited 13 pairs.
