Suede Tips

Store suede boots in a way that allows them to breathe. Keep away from light and damp environments. If the suede gets wet, soak up excess moisture with a clean towel and allow it to dry naturally. To speed up drying, use boot trees. But avoid any direct heat source to speed up the process. Use a nail file or a wire bristle brush to remove dry mud and scuff marks with gentle strokes.

Pro Tip
It's very common that one foot may be slightly larger than the other. If so, Lucchese recommends ordering the size that fits the largest foot or place a special order with Customer Service.

After cleaning or becoming wet, allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature.

Using cedar boot trees in your boots will help maintain the original shape and prevent boots from curling. Regular use also allows moisture to absorb into the cedar, which naturally eliminates odor.

Pro Tip
Refrain from using your hand to press the toe area to determine fit as you would with a shoe. This method isn't a true determination with boots and could damage the leather.

Lucchese offers a variety of toes, heels and soles. This selection allows every customer to find or create a boot suited for his or her particular lifestyle and personality. If you're considering a new toe or heel style, be sure to do a test run, because the change could alter your fit.
