There are some bona fide extremes in Western wear. And let’s face it, they’re really, really fun. Anyone who’s ever seen an authentic “Nudie” suit knows how excessive and playful Western wear can get. The folks at Lucchese have a brand they’re peddling called “Charlie One Horse” and it appears to be a place where they can have some fun and go to a few extremes at the same time. Case in point: the black calf Western Fashion Cowgirl boots. The emphasis here is on the “fashion.” The top looks like a classic cowgirl boot with tooled leather and side pulls, and the front of the boot (I’m using the term “boot” here rather loosely) resembles a boot with a radically pointed toe. The extreme part, though, are the heels. They’re stiletto. Talk about making a statement.

First off, let’s talk pronunciation. It’s not “Loo-chess.” It’s “Loo – Kay – See.” Be sure to say it right or you’ll immediately brand yourself as a poser instead of a real cowboy or cowgirl. Lucchese’s been making cowboy and western boots since Sam Lucchese’s grandfather started the company in 1883. That’s a long time to be making boots. What they don’t know about boots and feet probably doesn’t need to be known.
The original Sam Lucchese settled in San Antonio at the tender age of 17 back in 1880. Three years later, he’d started his boot company. But it was his grandson, Sam Lucchese, Jr. who really stepped up the boot design and crafted the company’s stellar reputation for fit, comfort and quality. If you want one of the best pair of boots money can buy, you are looking for a pair of Lucchese Boots. Our Friends at Boot City carry a full line of Lucchese, and we also reviews of Lucchese Boots here at cowboy boot review.

T Gozney Thornton is a country/western and Tejano musician and a die-hard, bleedin’ orange University of Texas Longhorns fan. It would be tought say which is more important to him.He has a pair of boots that were custom-made by Danny Ramoz of San Angelo. They’re alligator, with roses, Texas Longhorns in the front and prickly pear cactus on the tops. T had them made just before Texas won the 2005 Championship and wore them out to California to the Rose Bowl. (He’s a man of great faith, that T). He stomped around in them to tail gate parties all over LA, with his pants tucked in to show them off. T says he never had so much fun being an obnoxious Texan in his life.When he’s in a less obnoxious frame of mind, and inclined not spend less than four figures for a pair of boots, T’s choice of footwear is Lucchese.

Lucchese makes the best boots ever and these Lucchese Classic® Mens Hornback Bodycut Crocodile are at the top of my Christmas List! These are beautiful...they are handmade in Texas and the medium round toe is an awesome match for the Hornback skin. These boots are very detail oriented...the pull straps have crocodile accents and the tops are all leather with a crocodile inlay...the vamps are cut in full pieces and they are lined with the softest leather...the side seams are smooth and flush to protect the leg. These Classic boots come with packing socks and a handmade boot warranty certificate. Lucchese is one of a handful of manufacturers that wants to do the repair work on their boots themselves. Boot City sent mine in for me and when they came back they looked brand new! When they put the new heels and soles on they refurbished the leather from the inside out and now my boots look NEW!
