Well, i’m pretty stoked on these $45 Stewarts i accidently ran across. Prob the best $ i ever spent. My first and only cowboys were Stewarts and a birthday present around 1979-82. They were new horse hides. Until last year they were the only ones i had and are so sweet to wear, so soft and nice.
I believe these are about the same age and horse hide as well. You can tell by the pics, so soft.
These are basically unworn and probably scuffed from being thrown around the closet for 35+ years. The soles aren’t even scuffed and the stitching thread ends still hang out. The stitch pattern threads are as new and i really dig this contrasting pattern. A time capsule boot!!
Enough!! Yes i dig em!!
Be well. Bowen
Thanks Bob and DD: i do like these.Man those are Nice! The toe and heel look killer, and the stovepipes look classic!

Damn!! Bama!! Cool!Damn, Bowen you've been on a roll. Nice Stewart's. I'm not a fan of the contemporary Stewart's but those old ones are something. If you haven't, look up some of the history of Stewart boots. It started out as Stewart-Romero in California making what some referred to as "Hollywood" boots. Highly collectible. After the partners split, Stewart started up in AZ. Stewart boots made James Dean's boots for the movie "Big".
I have never bought used boots on eBay. Any tips? I’m considering these:

Those are good looking boots! I have no experience with Lucchese, but have bought used boots from eBay and others. I usually look at the sole stitching channel. If the channel is intact and no thread worn away, you are usually good to go. Heels will also tell something about wear. My wife and I both have some well worn, older boots, with the channel and stitching well worn into. Still some pretty good boots, but more of a gamble.I have never bought used boots on eBay.

What do you look for in the photos when buying boots online? How do Lucchese run size wise?
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips guys. Do you think Lucchese run a bit big, or do they fit to size. I wear a 12 in many shoes but often take a 11.5 in boots. This is what they say on their web page.
Lucchese boots fit differently than shoes, sneakers and sandals — our fit is designed to be snug, yet comfortable. In general, western boots can run slightly large; so don't be surprised if your boot size is smaller than your shoe size.
