Lucchese Boot Company Tour – Day 4

History of the Lucchese Boot Company

Trey Gilmore and I took a look at some of the history of the Lucchese Boot Company. Trey walked me through the archives of the fit books and we looked at a lot of the notable people who have worn Lucchese boots throughout the years.

Wonder if John Wayne was wearing Lucchese in The Searchers

Lucchese State Boots

We also took a look at an interesting display of state boots that Lucchese was commissioned to make by the Acme boot company. Each boot is a hand-built Lucchese Classic and is hand painted to include images of the state’s capital building, its state bird, state animal and motto. It’s a really neat piece of American History.
