Cowboy Boots

[dh66]

These are on their way. Pre-1960 anyway (based on when the internal black label started according to Justin's "research department"). 11-1/2D according to the 4(4th letter of the alphabet) 115 (11.5) code.

Hi
I found these Lucchese boots on an online clothing flea market (Vinted). They were in very good condition and my exact size, I bought them.
I wonder if they are real Lucchese. Maybe a fake but they are quite nice and well built and I am happy, so that's the more important

They probably are real Lucchese although the lucchese logo inside the shaft of the two pair I have is different. However, mine are older and in the classic configuration which could mean the difference.

Chris, I believe your boots are the genuine article. The Lucchese logo looks genuine and the model number starting with L is appropriate for the Classic’s line. Lucchese moved mfg. from San Antonio to El Paso in 1986 so, your boots were made prior to that and new sell for around $3K.

Thank you for the info.

oh my god... I will never dare to wear them now that I know their value

Strange, my older Lucchese boots just have a arched stamp stating -since 1883 Lucchese SanAntonio- on inside left front of shaft with -1350 101/2B 90314 in heavier stamp on right side and same heavier stamp on left rear. No Alamo stamp in either pair.

I don’t know, HD. I found the black lining unusual as well as the Alamo stamp. I wondered if perhaps this was done for the European market. It was common at one time for high end department stores to carry Lucchese’s. But for the lining they look an awful lot like this one.

I found them with the 5057 reference on the lucchese website : https://www.lucchese.com/additionallines/lucchese-classics/mens/F5057/
They are really similar.

They were probably bought in France but I have no idea of their history.

Those boys are working it, Cuz and that cowboy is showing a lot of faith in the handles of those shine boxes. Such a great pic.

Anyone else remember the "Shoeshine Ladies" of the '80's? They always had their chairs set up in the darkest corners & out of the way places in airports, etc. The ladies always saw to it their customers got a good polish during a layover.

One of the reasons I keep a pic of this magazine cover is because of the memories it brings back. I can still smell the leather saddles. And the right of passage upon getting your first new pair of boots.
