Lucchese

Mine are also from the handmade line. Lemon wood pegs, and a whole bunch of details I can't remember. I do remember that I got them at the now defunct J. Gilbert Footwear in Tucson, AZ almost exactly a decade ago. They were a special make-up for the store, and have gorgeous details and a perfect selection of smooth and rough-out leathers. I dug them out of my closet to take a pic for you all.

@Anesthetist The quality and finish are top-notch on mine. Since I bought them at a boutique dealer, my buying experience was superb, and I'm so glad to have these gorgeous boots. So if you're looking for a unique pair, you might have better luck going through one of their dealers for a better experience all around.

Edited to add: They're so damn comfortable. They're like slippers. I should bust them out and wear them again, but I'm currently beating the crap out of my new Mister Lous.

@seawolf if you don’t wear em, send them over haha. They look amazing!

[seawolf]

@Dmart I'll wear them, don't you worry! They're really special. Glad you like them!

Main problem is that we only have two feet and too many boots

@seawolf Can you inform of your Lucchesse size versus your Wesco Mr. Lous sizing and possibly versus your Brannock size as comparison? Also, do you know if that is a certain Luchesse last or if they all utilize the same last? Thanks in advance!

[seawolf]

@Dmart Tell me about it! Luckily, I've pared my boot collection down to two pairs of Mister Lou (one brown, one black), a pair of Truman Java Waxed Flesh, and my Lucchese rough-outs.

@John-Galt I generally wear 11.5D, and my Mister Lous are 11.5E. The Luccheses are 11.5D. The only differences I know about the last come down to the shape of the toe. I'm really not a cowboy boot expert at all. @jdl1279 might be able to help out, or maybe @Chris ?

@seawolf sounds like a good rotation. I’m down to three pair of Lou’s (natural, roughout, olive) one Lofgren Engineer in black and the Lucchese but am eying some nice roper.

[John Galt]

@seawolf Thanks for the feedback, greatly appreciated. I wear a 9E in the Mr Lou’s so based on your sizing I should be a 9D in the Luchesse. Thanks again!

[Dmart]

My Lous are a 9.5E and my Lucchese actually a 10.5D, although a 10 would have worked as well without discomfort. Lofgren Engineers, I wear a size 10 but mainly due to my higher instep.

[John Galt]

@dmart Thanks for the feedback - thus I’ll play it safe and go in between with a 9.5D as my initial Luchesse order. Thanks again! John

@John-Galt Great, I hope they fit and of course please post some pics once they are with you.
