    I have boots and wear them here, just don't know what to make of the stereotypes about all white and mexican texans wearing boots.

    looking at another pair of square toes, $400 is about my limit and I have real high arches so any in sole recommendations would be appreciated too

    At that price, I'd look at ostrich. I bought my Rios of Mercedes for right around $400 but that was a few years ago.

    Rios :lovelove: they will be my next purchase. Someone told me people are stopping the production of the ostrich quill boots. Anyone else heard this?

    and when yall refer to lucchese, do you mean classics or since 1883 or cowboy collection? is there a big difference?

    I like them a lot so far. The big thing about Lucchese is their service and longevity, so I won't know for several years how they really line up.

    Initial quality, comfort, and appearance is off the charts for the Black Jacks though. The leather is badass.

    there seem to be several different lines of boots: "Lucchese Classics" and "Lucchese Since 1883" for example

    the classics appear more expensive and handmade, but that might not necessarily be true (i have seen the "cowboy collection" too on other sites but i don't know anything about it either)

    Gf's family all went in on buying her dad some nice boots for christmas. We spent 2.5 hours at Cavender's and he talked himself into getting these $870 bad boys.

    I'm a "city boy" in their eyes, I guess I'm not understanding the appeal other than high price but they look hideous.

    These are wonderful. The leather will stretch to accommodate fitting these in. I use the 3/4 instead of the full insole, but only b/c that was what my podiatrist gave me (maybe that was all that he had in stock). They have made my arches feel so much better. I put them in all of my shoes right on top of whatever insole come in the shoe. I use the neutral post
