Since 1883, Lucchese has stood as the gold standard of the American bootmaking industry, founded in San Antonio by Italian immigrant Sam Lucchese. The company eventually moved its headquarters to El Paso, where it continues to produce its legendary "Classics" line using a proprietary twisted cone last that mimics the human foot. Famous for outfitting presidents, movie stars, and legends of the West, Lucchese is synonymous with uncompromising luxury and fit. They remain one of the few large-scale manufacturers that still employs master artisans to hand-cut and hand-peg their top-tier collections.
