Lucchese 1883 Hornback Caiman Cowboy Boot 

Short review

 

If, like most of us, you’ve never been into a ranch but would like to cowboy up now, starting your adventure with the Lucchese 1883 Hornback Caiman Cowboy Boot could be the best decision you can make.

The shiny hornback vamp in dark brown should get your eye. Pair that to a matte brown shaft with a striking meticulously-designed stitches on it and you may never feel more cowboy-like than with this on.

The overall color combination of dark brown bottoms and light brown tops is simply classy. And you’d love the vamp even when its mini-tiles are covered with all the roughness. It’s mysterious and captivating at the same time. Further, even with all that calcium rivets sprawling on it in irregular patterns, the vamp shines.

As this is part of the classic 1883 collection, you’d easily wonder if this is the first on that list. In short, it’s a certified eye-catcher.

But as Lucchese 1883 collection is known the world over, this hornback caiman boot boasts of superior construction and greater comfort. That’s double-welt construction sitting on a stacked blocked leather heel. Top that with a wide square toe profile for greater elbow room for your feet.

As a lethal combination of superior design and comfort, small wonder this is a hotseller.

Lucchese Men’s Landon-Tan Hornback Caiman Tail Riding Boot 

Short review

For starters, know that this Lucchese is a riding boot. Unlike your regular cowboy boot, riding boots are designed to be used for riding horses. It’s for this reason that they’re relatively low-heeled with traditionally smooth or lightly textured sole to prevent the rider from being caught on the tread of stirrup in case of a fall incident.

But that’s not to say, this one is no beauty. For starters, you’re getting a true blue crocodilian hornback caiman back in lighter brown color. That alone should get people’s eyes around you looking and mouths talking.

Hornback appeals to the more adventurous you. Unlike an exotic belly leather, the rougher calcium-filled side of a hornback reflects the adventurous spirit of the wild,wild west even more.

The lighter brown bottoms of this riding boot from Lucchese is supplemented with a tall, darker vamp. You’ll easily notice another stunning feature here which is the sharp stitch designs on the long shaft.

Overall, this is another headturner. As typical of Lucchese, however, the meticulous handiwork shows. You have the double welt construction which means this footwear is built to last.

Put this on a Harley Davidson and you should be good to go, leaving those behind you in envy.

Lucchese Men’s Landon-Barrel Hornback Caiman Tail Riding Boot 

Short review

You might notice that this Lucchese Men’s Landon-Barrel Hornback Caiman Tail Riding Boot model is of basically the same product name as another Lucchese offering. That’s true. That only tells you how much this design has swept the hearts of many.

But there’s a difference, albeit not easily apparent. You see, this footwear leans towards the more adventurous side. True to the wild,wild west nature of how Western cowboy boots you can say.

For instance, you get a more distinct separation in the vamp; it’s as if the folded portion is popping out of the shoes. That is although the other version also boasts of a hornback in its vamp, this one come out really bold.

Which only means, if you choose to be as loud as you want it to be, you’ve know this offering is spot on.

Yes, you still get that admirable length in the shaft that stands 11.5 “ or about half-inch less of a ruler. Further, you’d be getting a 1.5 boast in height with this on – substantial enough for any height-challenged human.

Plus, your shaft here as many Lucchese classic boots go, flaunts sharp stitch designs that should as easily grab people’s attention as you go.

And lest we forget, this is a Lucchese, handcrafted to last. You can see that in the double welt construction and in the sturdiness of the stitches to put everything together.

Lucchese Classics Men’s Hornback Caiman Tail Riding Boot 

Short review

Don’t look now, but the Lucchese Classics Men’s Hornback Caiman Tail Riding Boot is a real classic. First stop, you get to add some serious cover to your legs with this offering’s long shaft measuring 11.5” tall.

But that’s not all. If you’re being challenged in the height department, cheer up. This Lucchese classic can make you an inch and a half taller. Yes, fascinating right?

Just think of a Lebron James wearing this one; he’d be as tall as his very rival that’s Kevin Durant. Of course, all that instant height addition can be useful whenever you need some vertical boost.

The good news is wearing boots like these is a cinch – you just have to slide them in just like that. No laces. No hassles.

And seriously, this one packs some serious leather in its offering. For you’re getting the cream of caiman skin: hornback in all its shining glory.

That said, you know you’ve got real bragging rights wearing certified high-class exotic leather.

Top it all, you got sharp stitch designs that’s bound to be as catchy as you want them to be. Put a standout uniform dark color combination and this tail riding boot is sleek – riding with true class.

Even better, you’re looking at one that’s built to last – handcrafted to endure as this Lucchese is.

Lucchese Men’s Dustin Western Boot 

Short review

 

The Lucchese Men’s Dustin Western Boot is a roper and that should set it apart from the rest of them cowboy boots. Roper boots are one of the two major kinds of cowboy boots. The first kind called classic is hell-bent to be as daring as can be and therefore found with taller shafts and heels; not with ropers.

With flatter, shorter heels and a shaft that measures but 10.75”, you certainly would find a true blue roper in this Lucchese. It’s still cowboy boots alright but its adventurous spirits carefully hushed to a certain degree.

Fact is, this pair of cowboy boots is such a wholesome pair, you can don them in the office – and still command a generous amount of attention. You won’t find those striking stitches in the shaft though. Instead, you’ll find a refined cording that’s wound around the barrel.

Also, the color combination – a uniform tone of brown – speaks of uniformity and not of the daring diverse tones identified with most cowboy boots.

Still, this the Dustin Western Boot is a certified exotic fashion wear. You have caiman leather on the vamp – though it’s also the smoother, more pliable belly side.

Lucchese Men’s Mission 

Short review

 

Looking at the Lucchese Men’s Mission, you’d thank Sam Lucchese, Sr., the founder himself, had he been alive today. This pair of Luccheses are so elegantly made, it’s easy to think they’re worth a fortune.

And who wouldn’t think so?

For starters, you have a shaft that shines in brown with its captivating stitched design. The erect body of this barrel speaks of class that is all its own just like a soldier waiting for your orders.

Mind you you’re looking at a full 12 “ shaft when you take on this Lucchese.

But what makes this Lucchese even more legendary is the vamp. Its colored deep brown – not too deep to be considered dark but deep enough to form a darker contrast to the shaft – that shines. This vamp is also light enough to show the shiny tiles of the hornback caiman leather.

The overall effect is exhilarating. It’s like looking at an unknown animal for the first time. And because of that mystery, you’re sure attention will flock to this one like iron filings to a magnet bar.

Best of all, this Lucchese is constructed to last a lifetime, thanks to the infamous double-welt construction Lucchese is known for.

Lucchese Classics Caiman Horseman Riding Boot 

Short review

 

Again, this is another version of the horseman riding boot classics. But the Lucchese Classics Caiman Horseman Riding Boot is a class all its own.

From the looks of it, you’d think this footwear goes back to the times of the Medieval Age when knights and princesses abound – truly fascinating.

The ultra-dark brown tone of this Lucchese’s vamp plays with the light giving you the notion of scales on an armadillo’s back. It’s deeply mysterious for a shoes and scary to a point. Because of that, it’s as gung-ho as can be. And you’d be lucky if this one does not attract serious stares wherever you bring the gorgeous pair.

Know that the vamp is made of hornback caiman making this one officially an exotic high-end luxury goods. Put in the 12.5-inched shaft which is higher than most and you know this one is not a shoe to trifle with.

And as this is a riding boot, your heel is just at 1.25” – a bit low for a classic.

Still, the bold stitch pattern and double welt construction makes this style a certified stunner. High fashion and durability that is the hallmark of a true Lucchese.

Lucchese Men’s 1883 Logan Caiman Belly Cowboy Boot 

Short review

 

As belly cowboy boots go, the Lucchese Men’s 1883 Logan Caiman Belly Cowboy Boot has a smooth, shiny appearance. More like a gentleman than a daredevil of a cowboy.

Belly leather offer a strong contrast to the roughness of a hornback. Its uniform more pliable material talks of class, and depart from the more adventurous ensemble formed by the calcium-filled hornback.

In a sense, this gentleman of a boots appeal to the senses like a tap dancer would to its audience. It talks of style but not one that is taking the brunt of all the hard work of a cowboy (e.g,. herding cows, chasing predators).

In effect, this Lucchese speaks of classic elegance, highlighted by the fancy stitched design on the shaft that forms a flame of some sorts.

But don’t get us wrong. The Lucchese Men’s 1883 Logan Caiman Belly Cowboy Boot is as sturdy as you need them to be. First stop you have a double stitched welt construction. Put in those easy-on pull straps and updated square toe and you’re looking at fashion that’s tough to beat at the price it’s at.

Lucchese Classics Men’s Rhys-Tan Riding Boot 

Short review

 

If you want to push the envelope on cowboy boots then this offering from Lucchese should be top of your list. Lucchese Classics Men’s Rhys-Tan Riding Boot perhaps is another version of a classic Lucchese footwear. But judging from its overall appeal, you can say it’s the best version there is of that particular product line.

Know right from the onset that you’re talking here about real riding boots, perhaps in the image that Sam Lucchese, Sr. wanted it to be. From the onset, you can tell you’re dealing with hornback caiman in your vamp.

All the irregularly-shaped calcium deposits on the crocodilian skin form somewhat a pattern that shouts its exotic nature. For truly, you’re dealing with a certified caiman skin here.

What makes it so special is it’s beauty shines all the more in rhys-tan color, light enough so you can see the rough protrusions.

Top all that with a dark shaft with a striking embroidery of white and you have an ensemble that’s as iconic a cowboy boots as the first vaqueros started wearing them.

Add a longer-than-usual shaft of 12.5 inches and you’re pretty sure this one is a stunner. What makes this a best seller is this is built with Lucchese manufacturing prowess as evident by the double welt construction and handy pull-on straps to give you added comfort.

Lucchese Men’s 1883 Caiman Belly Cowboy Boot 

Short review

 

This one is truly a classic. The Lucchese Men’s 1883 Caiman Belly Cowboy Boot is such a head-turner, you’re bound to use superlatives to describe it.

First off, you get a shiny black vamp made of belly caiman. That tellsyou this is another certified exotic footwear you can be proud of. What makesthe vamp even more elegant is it’s arranged so neatly in folds you can hardly thinkit’s crocodilian nature.

And yes, your shaft here measures a full 12 inches. How’s that for a change? That can only mean should you choose to wear shorts you’d have more skin covered. Also, if you’re going to come in contact with other cowboy boots, there’s a good chance your footwear comes out longer on the sides.

Secondly, your dark shaft portends a well-crafted stitched design that matches perfectly the shiny vamp.

Perhaps the heel give the nature of this one away. The Lucchese Men’s 1883 Caiman Belly Cowboy Boot leans more on the formal side. You have a heel that is lower than most Cuban-boot-bestowed cowboy boots.

This Lucchese is sleek but it’s sleek with class. You don’t see much of the ‘wild nature’ essence that’s usually found in most Lucchese classics. It’s there but wrapped in certain formality. A stunning formality, to be exact.

The result is cowboy boots are so designed to be handy. You won’t find any laces up fronts to boot. To wear them, all you have to do is slide them in.

This is what the best Lucchese caiman boots offer. And then some.

You get a side pull-on straps for easy entry, something you can hardly find in any other shoe. Plus, you get a squared-toe more often than not allowing you to expand your laundry list of ‘things that you can do’ with the boots on.

Sturdy Footwear​

Handcrafted by expert hands, you’ll find yourself dealing with extra-strong boots when you get the best Lucchese caiman boots today. This is apparent in the double welt construction which is standard in most, if not all, Luccheses.

For the uninitiated, know that welt construction in a shoe is putting the best possible method to put a shoe together. Double welt, therefore, is making it stick for a lifetime.

Rough Terrain​

Because of the way these Lucchese boots are made, you will find yourself widening your horizons. A sneaker worn can get you to play basketball, perhaps. But in mountainous regions, it may easily give up.

It’s for this reason that Sam Lucchese’s boots were a favorite among the U.S. Army, his first major client. And to you in the modern age.

You may not have to climb mountains or ride a rampaging bull but you’re rest assured you’re getting something that will give you greater freedom.

Real Exotic Leather Offering​

And for your own good, you’d be wearing yourself with a lot of pride when you put on Lucchese’s best. You see, the best Lucchese caiman boots are certified exotic. All of them.

Not one of these boots can be construed as parading so-so leather. Each of these Lucchese caiman boots don real caiman leather. The vamps of these cowboy footwear are either the belly side of the crocodilian or the hornback more rougher back side.

Affordability​

Most importantly, for you, Caiman boots from Lucchese aren’t the most pricey in the market. These may be premium in quality but when you talk about spending on it, you’re going to spend lesser than most high-end luxury cowboy boots out there.

So cheer up!

How to Choose the Best Lucchese Caiman Boots

Right of the bat, this is a tricky question. As much as Lucchese is a most reliable brand, each of their offerings have distinct styles and makes. Getting to which is best for you therefore, should be a personal choice, just as what you choose to wear everyday.

This is apparent in the vamp debate. Some people prefer the rougher hornback side while you can’t stop others to choose the more pliable belly crocodilian leather.

To help you choose, here are simple guidelines to follow. This way you should end up with a wise buy to last a lifetime.

The Build​

As there are 1,000 and one ways to skin a cat, there are a lot of ways to make cowboy boots. Being able to scrutinize the build of a footwear gives you an easy way to know if it’s worth your precious dollars.

And one question to help you in this quest is: How does everything stay together? So you’ll have to closely examine how the leathers in a particular pair of boots are stuck. Is it just by cementing or by welting. Looking at the primer on shoe construction you do this.

Luckily, the best Lucchese caiman boots in the market are built with double welt construction, a standard of superior build for cowboy shoes.

The Design​

Overall, as it is with clothes, design stands as a dealmaker. For the simple reason that most people, you included, shop for cowboy boots not to be in the rodeo but to get to be as fashionable as can be.

This one here therefore is a matter of taste. It’s just fortunate that not only are Lucchese well-built they also come at the edge of fashion. That way, you won’t fall back on your promise to be as fashionable when wearing one.

The Material​

Just as how important as how everything is placed together is the material used in making the cowboy boots into a marketable footwear. Without good material, your eye-dropping shaft design will come to naught.

This is especially true if you’re hoping to save some dollars on your buy. If you’re just looking for a quick fix to your wardrobe and just want something to wear for one night, then material may not play much. For most, however, getting real leather is a must.

Also, this comes as no shock that the rarer the leather the more pricey the footwear becomes. It’s no accident therefore that the priciest cowboy boots are made from some of the world’s most hard to find animal skins.

A croc’s leather for instance, will pitch a higher price than a caiman’s skin in the market today. An alligator’s skin, for one, also carries a higher mark as it is more supple and is

more pliable to a shoemaker’s hand

Conclusion

Unlike a kitchen utensil where you can judge generally on how well it can be used for cooking, getting a cowboy boots is a very personal matter. In short, it’s fashion. What’s beautiful depends really in the eyes of the beholder, so to speak.

That’s assuming you’re a buyer who just wants to up his wardrobe and not an honest-to-goodness cowboy from Texas who wants the sturdiest footwear to last the grueling demands of work. In a way, you should let your tastes decide.

The good news is Lucchese’s reputation in quality high-end boots is stellar; and that should apply to every shoe that comes out of its factories. Fact is the brand’s enjoying a popularity that is hard to equal at this point in time.

So when you talk about the best Lucchese caiman boot, chances are you’re going to have a very long conversation.

Choosing one Lucchese over another Lucchese is therefore very understandable. It’s just about satisfying your wants and needs.

Still, one Lucchese cowboy boot has risen heads high above the rest when it comes to satisfying tastes. And in this regard, we strongly recommend it if you’re serious about capturing attention.
