How a Lucchese Boot Should Fit

Rule of thumb

Lucchese boots generally run true to size, but don't be surprised if your western boot's size is slightly smaller than your dress shoe size due to its construction. The best way to find your fit is to confirm your foot size with a boot expert.

A properly fitting boot should feel like a firm handshake across the instep.
The ball of your foot should be in the widest part of the boot.
There will be a slight slip in the heel.

How to try on cowboy boot

Sit.
Put both fingers through the pull straps and insert your foot into the boot.
Keeping the heel on the ground, use your body weight to get your foot into the boot. Note: You will feel resistance as you try to pull the boot on.
As your foot sinks into the boot, listen for the audible thump.
Walk around and feel the fit of the boot. Note: Notice the slight slip in the heel.

Common fit problems
If the boot feels too tight, go for a wider width.
If the boot feels too loose, try a smaller size.
