In the world of western wear, Lucchese Boots are known and accepted as some of the finest footwear available anywhere for men and women. In particular, their “Mad Dog Goat” cowboy style is meticulously made by hand using the finest goat leather possible. That’s why Sam Lucchese is so highly regarded and why they can say with certainty that you won’t find another boot that is crafted to the human foot like theirs.

Any discussion of Lucchase classics must include their mad dog boots. Every piece of high quality soft goat leather is stitched together with great care in their Texas facilities. And then this beautiful pointed toe western footwear is inspected by hand two different times. The next time you put on your hat, shirt and jeans – know that their 1883 collection is crafted and reviewed in full detail to deliver a near perfect shoe.

Outstanding Ropers and Vintage Styles

There’s another brand of authentic footwear from the West that cannot be ignored. And that legendary bootmaker is known as Justin Boots. Their brand became recognized for rodeo, riding and ranch work. And they eventually began to rival other manufacturers such as Nocona and Ariat. Their dependability and comfort led them to get a patent on their famous J-Flex System. One of the models we’ll talk about is the Justin L4935. It has a 13 inch height that comes to the middle of your calf with a classic pointed toe. The color is called Bay Apache, a distressed calf-skin brown that goes well with denim jeans.

Legendary Brands

The Ariat brand of footwear has a unique history. It was the year 1990 when the company co-founders began to create a new type of western boots for riding, work and casual everyday wear. For example, the Ariat Heritage Western R-Toe is a classic boot for cowgirls. They’re actually designed for things like horseback riding and ranch or farm chores. But women like them so much they buy an extra pair for their clothes closet to wear with wrangle jeans and skirts when they’re ready to go out for the night. We’re partial to the light brown ‘cognac’ color, but black is also offered. The J-toe is the classic pointed cow boy style, so it might be too narrow for you if you have any foot problems such as hammer toe or neuroma. The “Heritage” is a beautiful boot by Ariet that’s highly recommended.
