Never thought I'd be a boot wearer but here I am.
My friend's dad was a western wear/boot guy, born and raised in SW Oklahoma. He had a pair of boots he wore for years until they had just worn out. My buddy went to a Lucchese outlet and got him a pair that was as close to the same style as he could find. His dad appreciated them and wore them once but said they just weren't the same. So my buddy took the old boots to some boot wizard, said the guy looked like he just fell out of a covered wagon and had all these ancient looking leather-working tools. The boot wizard took a couple months but got the old boots back to almost new. His dad nearly wept when he saw them. The new Lucchese's went into the closet until his dad passed away a few months ago. My buddy can't wear the new boots, but I can, so he just gave them to me. The model is the Bart, super pointed toe but IDGAF, they feel nice.
