re: Are Tecovas boots worth the hype? (Update pg 3.)

I ordered 3 pair, my regular size in both standard and wide width and half size smaller in wide. I guess I have a narrow foot and kept my regular size and standard width. I would advise doing the same, you should be able to return all 3 if none fit. Just stay on carpet as you try them out.

I bought the Chocolate Ostrich, very comfortable and very well made.

Anybody know if Lucchese has a store anywhere? I tried some on at Cavenders but their selection was limited.

I have the same exact problem. I've started eating into the actual heel now. Have you had them replaced before? Where do you go?

In BR Militello's will replace the heel for you. I have some Lucchese boots that I just send back to them. Unfortunately if I wear them often I'll chew through the outside of the heel in a year.

It's not that expensive just to get the heel replaced. I think it was about $30.

take it to a shoe repair company. cost is about $6 to $8 if you get someone to do it for you. they will last for a while. replace when you see it giving out.

or amazon and do it yourself.

I did the opposite. I initially ordered the suede in a Roper and exchanged them for a Western heel in EE.

Are the soles any different between the ropers and western, or is it just the heels?

I wear boots almost every day but have never worn ropers. Need to replace my daily wear which is twisted X, but it has more of a workboot sole. Wondering it ropers mimic that a little more.

Leather sole with rubber heel cap.

Just saw they are opening a Tecovas store in Austin.
