These boots would have been custom ordered from Lucchese and would sell for $13,000. They were handmade at the original San Antonio, TX factory.
AMERICAN ALLIGATOR AYALA CUT BOOTS
The boots are Lucchese Brown Labels, predecessors to today’s Classics line. When these boots were made, Lucchese only produced one line of boot, and they were the best production made boots in the world.
American alligator is the premier skin material for cowboy boots. It is light, beautiful, and luxurious. Nothing comes close to American alligator in texture and suppleness. The build quality is exceptional. Alligator hides are rich, supple, and flawless.
Ayala style construction: Ayala style means that the seams of the uppers have a curvature. There is no straight seam on the uppers. This allows for a long cut of gator, which extends from the vamp (foot) up the front of the uppers. Most boot tops are made of two pieces of leather and have a seam running down each side. An attractive and unique pattern which allows for an amazing array of alligator components.
The Vamps are head-cut, which transition to mid body-cut that run the length of the boot, one piece, all the way up. The rear heel counters and back of the shafts are one-piece mid body-cut. The sides of the boots are tail-cut alligator.
In all, it takes 2 head-cut, 4 mid-body cut, and 4 tail-cut, to make up the composition of these boots.
Premium American alligator hides are used in the construction of these boots. The boots are rugged with a lot of texture. However, the skins are exceptionally soft and pliable. You will be surprised when you feel these boots. All this suppleness translates into a very comfortable boot.
