Caiman Crocodile
We craft boots from several cuts of this crocodilian: belly, ultra belly, and hornback. Ultra belly is ultra smooth; belly is only slightly less so. Abrasion-resistant hornback is heavily textured, with deep, tall ridges. The most recent caiman in the Lucchese family, giant caiman has larger tiles than the other varieties. All these crocodilians hold firm around the foot, even after repeated wear.
The Roper
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.
