How do Lucchese fit compared to Ariat

I have tried on several pairs of Ariats and never liked the way they fit

I love my Justin's

I can't buy a pair of boots without trying them on


I have 4 pairs of luchesses and they're not all the same size

I wear 13's in Ariat, others, including tony lamas are 12.5's..

Mime ran small compared to my ariats. I bought off sheplers and their return policy cannot be beat. Luckily, I did not have to return.

FWIW, I wear a 12EE in most Red Wings, an 11.5E in an old pair of Lamas, and a 11D in my current pair of Justin's. Way too much variation there

Damn, that's exactly how mine run too!

I wouldn't try this on my exotics, but, what I do with all my cow leather boots is fill them with water and walk em dry. Usually takes a couple of applications of this. Once the leather has conformed to your foot, throw the lanolin or mink oil to em, then hit them with boot polish and you are good to go.

That's how I break in a new pair of boots in one day. You will also have to manipulate to soles by hand.

Get Lucchese Classics from an authorized dealer and they will trace your foot and send it to Luchesse to be handmade

This. Once you buy a pair of Lucchese, you won't buy anything else.

They have round toes.

best look IMO. Never have liked square toe boots or the cock roach killer look.
