This is the second pair of Lucchese boots I have purchased from Amazon and I continue to be extremely pleased.  The leather is sublime and the embroidery classy and just colorful enough (not outlandish, in my opinion).  They are worth every penny of the full retail price, but thankfully Amazon made these dream boots come true for me via their terrific pricing.  Check out the customer reviews on Z....os and you'll find there are many, many other fans of this particular boot!
