I just bought these yesterday at Shepler's in Arlington when I was on vacation for Easter visiting my Dad in Texas. I have always wanted a pair of QUALITY cowboy boots. I finally "pulled the trigger!" For my first pair of cowboy boots ever I think I hit a homerun with these. I'm a firm believer in, "You get what you pay for." My dad has a pair of full quill and I wanted to be a little different. I also wanted a pair of exotic's. These are amazingly comfortable. They also look extremely sharp as well. I could not be any happier with my purchase. I'm very happy my dad introduced me to this brand of boot. I think I did very well with the decision to go with Lucchese. I would like to also mention and give thanks to the Arlington Sheplers sales staff in helping me select my first pair of boots. Those 2 older gentlemen were complete class acts, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. Overall it was a great experience, and look forward to buying another pair sometime when I come back down to visit my dad, and the great state of Texas.
