The softest of Lucchese’s smooth leathers, buffalo is luxurious in both fit and finish. As velvety as glove leather, it’s also surprisingly durable and appropriate for all occasions. When new, buffalo boots should hug the feet tightly. In time and with repeated wear, they will mold to your feet for a one-of-a-kind fit and show a rich vintage patina.
The Lucchese roper is a Western boot with British inspiration and Texas roots. The roper can be traced back to England’s military and Arthur Wellesley, who was the first Duke of Wellington and former prime minister. That’s why it’s sometimes called a Wellington. With a 1-inch heel, clean lines, and a rounded toe, ropers walk the line between boot and shoe. Supremely comfortable, Lucchese ropers transcend time — and styles. Cowboys love them. So do captains of industry.
