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.
