Lucchese Classics 101


I know I have written a lot about boots on this blog. I will admit I am a little obsessed, I am so smitten with the quality, construction and visual appeal of the Lucchese Classics. The possibilities are so endless when it comes to choosing a boot.


What if you just aren't finding quite the boot you want? First you can choose from a huge variety of leathers and colors. You can add silk stitching or a cording pattern. You can combine different types of leather; one for the vamp and a different for the quarters. You can add inlays and overlays for a unique dimensional look. Tooling and filigreeing give an artistic look that is absolutely beautiful. There are also so many finishes such as burnishing, stonewashing and destroying. The possibilities are endless.


Then you can choose your toe and heel combination as well as the sole for your boot. Say you see a boot that you like, but the toe is a little narrow for your preference, you can just order it with a different toe. Or maybe the heel isn't quiet you, order a different heel. Lucchese has a toe and heel chart on their website (click the link :http://www.lucchese.com/files/faqs8.pdf and page down to page 7)


The Lucchese Classic boot is so well made. First and foremost the boots are all handmade by skilled craftsmen. No one that makes a Lucchese Classic has worked for the company less than 15 years. The twisted cone last is unique to the Lucchese Classic, all boots are hand lasted using a unique last to provide optimum support and comfort. This kind of care and artistry take time. A custom ordered pair of boots will take a minimum of 12 weeks. The wait is so worth it though, there is nothing quite like getting your own unique quality, custom made pair of boots.
