LUCCHESE CHARLES VS RUJO THE TRACE PRT2

Battle of the caiman belly
• RUJO THE TRACE UNBOXIN...

[@rudyc7488]

Great info, will be trying Rujo Arturo soon. Went to the Dallas warehouse and bought the Black Zeke pythons. Waiting on Gavin and Trace in Carmel. From a year ago it looks like Rujo has gone up a $100 in price on the Trace. Pretty steep IMO. Also many report shaft fit to put on is very tight. I had issues trying some on at the warehouse.

[@masonfranksam]

Great comparison review. Thanks.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

My pleasure thank you for your support.

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

Thank you for sharing brother. So many brands out there. I have some tony lama and they feel good. I need to keep and eye for that brand rujo. I tried some horsepower boots and they felt great.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes horsepower are really Awsome as they are part of the Rios brand of family but if you like the fit on horsepower you will love the fit of the rujo

[@jesusramon6447]

Thanks for the info man now I know which one to buy for a good price n quality 👌

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

You will love it

[@Farfan-lc2kd]

Great content.. Love my boots and hats and I wear them all the time...

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

That is Awsome my friend I wear mine all the time as well. Thank you so much for your support.

[@MickR55]

Great review. I have 6 pairs of Lucchese boots in various exotic skins and none of them are particularly comfortable. I'll definitely give Rujo a shot when I buy my next pair of boots.

[@user-me5xq8yc9x]

This can vary even in the same model. I have several as well and because they're fully hand made...not always going to be perfect.

[@WesternWearEnthusiast]

Excellent review, Lionel. Sometimes the last will make a big difference. Sometimes people have to choose boots based on the last used.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Very true my friend thank you.

[@chrissanchez8281]

I have the exact Lucchese boots in this video and i still cant get them to break in properly. The right sid efits better than the left and I love to wear the, but aft a few hours , I cant stand the lack of comfort. I'll keep trying because they are a beautiful pair

[@noelvega5993]

Rujos are really coming up in the boot world...just orderd the saddle colored Martha's for her... very very nice women's boot 👍🤠👍

[@jeffhill1708]

Great comparison, I have a pair of Lucchese full quill ostrich that have always been tight but 2 pair of mad dog goat that are the most comfortable boots I own. Going to try Rujo’s next thanks to this another review you have on them, appreciate the great content you put out

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Thank you my friend. I really do appreciate it and I actually did a review on the Lucchese mad dog goat and they are very comfortable. I do agree with you.

[@southtexasking5821]

I just bought my first pair of rujos today online. 10.5D the Arturo’s in midnight. I’m excited, since it’s my first pair. Slowly but surely I’ve been breaking away from Lucchese & Rios of Mercedes after almost 2 decades. Still own a few pairs, but lately I’ve just been wearing tecovas. The Arturo’s should be arriving in a few business days, which I look forward to their arrival. I’ve read enough reviews to feel Confident enough that the should fit me, though I have not tried this brand before. As they are specified as “true to size” when compared to other boot brands I have in a 10.5D. on fellow reviews

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes sir they are truly amazing and they definitely are very true to size and are very comfortable so they are definitely delivering a great product for the money. Rios of Mercedes still makes an amazing pair of boots at a decent price and Lucchese still makes some great boots but the prices are very much off from what they should be. Thank you for your support sir.

[@southtexasking5821]

@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 yes I definitely agree to that. I did receive a pair in the mail today. Some Arturo’s. There was some Issues with the boots, I’m thinking of just exchanging for the same boots again, as I still want to give them a chance

[@Preppyvalerie456]

Consider boot stretch spray to loosen up tight boots, Just done this with my Cayman belly Tecovas boots. This made great difference in a few hours. You can get boot stretch spray just about anywhere - its just an industrial alcohol and water mix.

[@saucyg6371]

How are these boots holding up? And how do they fit/break in compared to their other r-tow boots, if you have their boots there boots that is?

[@TommyAlanRaines]

A little surprised that Rujo is actually nicely constructed. Good review comparison between Lucchese and Rujo.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Oh man the construction is great and the comfort is phenomenal much better then the Lucchese and you can’t beat the price.

[@TommyAlanRaines]

@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 I am really looking forward to get a few pair.

[@jimcollins9999]

I'd take the RUJO trace over the Lucchese comparative which really doesn't come close. This review was well done! Now all I have to do, is wait for RUJO to make my size of 15D. BE BRAVE!

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Thank you my friend I hope they will make it for you so you can enjoy great boots at great prices.

[@cowboy915100]

Always wanted a pair of Lucchese boots!!

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

I would say if you really want to own a pair of Lucchese But you don’t want to pay $1900 instead of going with cayman belly at $900 go with a nice USA made mad dog goat Lucchese for $500 it will be a much better fit at a lower price. I hope it helps thanks for your support.

[@karlmcnamara]

Great Review Lionel!

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Thanks buddy.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

Are the Rujos true to size. They’re running a deal right now but they won’t accept any returns or exchanges, so I gotta get it right

[@volsboy672]

I have a pair of black cherry Lucchese Charles boots. Second to none. Most comfortable out of the box.

[@bachphan7621]

Lucchese do run smaller and narrower. I have to wear EE in Luchese. But I do agree, from the looks of it Rujo look like a much better value. Will probably be ordering a pair of Rujo Trace myself.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

That is Awsome they are definitely a Awsome boot for the money and crazy enough I do feel great in my American made snip toe Lucchese but these one’s not as much. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and your support.

[@raymondracca6717]

The Rujo is a better quality boot regarding price yet they are not without some quality control issues. I have purchased 4 pair, all exotics yet sent all 4 back for various flaws. I will have to try Rujo again due to their exceptional customer service & their overall commitment to make things right for the customer.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Oh man I’m sorry you had some issues with your RuJo but they are a great company and are always trying to improve so give them a try again because both of mine are amazing so they have probably addressed the issues. Thank you for your support.

My caimans cracked after using them twice, and the first thing I do when I get them is add conditioner because we don’t know how long they’ve been sitting for, I reached out to tubo via email and Instagram DM and no response, I’m going to give them a call.

[@davidbarran4739]

@@southtexasking5821 I condition my boots as soon as I get them, you should really condition them, so they don’t start cracking me. I emailed them and called them and never got a response, I even dmed them and no response. I have caimans from other brands and have never had that problem either, Hopefully you don’t run into this problem and I was just unlucky

Hey man what brand of pants are you wearing (13:25) in the picture at the very end of video if you don’t mind me asking?

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

I usually only wear wranglers

[@westernbootreviews]

Good review! I haven’t tried Rujo just yet but lucchese hasn’t been that comfortable to me lately.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Thank you my friend for sure if you’re not feeling the comfort from Lucchese you will love the Rujo. By the way I just saw your review on the blackjack awesome job reviewing brother.

[@westernbootreviews]

@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 thanks for watching I’ll definitely give Rujo a try in the near future. Looking forward to more videos from you!

[@nenadcubric2663]

Love both, but really love Boots from Heritage Boots, Austin

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

They are definitely nice. I’ll have to check try a pair.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

I wear a 12 EE with Lucchese boots I have to go up to a 14 EE I want to order a pair from Rujo on a special deal and they will not accept returns. I’m on the fence right now.

[@LT3Fluffy]

How does caiman wear? Does the fit need to be perfect? I wouldn't think caiman stretches that much or at all

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

As long as you have a good fitting boot like these Rujo they will feel great and break in no time.

[@MightySmaug]

I have a couple pair of Lucchese’s and they have been the best fitting boots I’ve had. It’s possible your Luc’s are B’s and were just misstamped.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Good point I have never thought about that it is a bit doubtful though because as I say my American made Lucchese fit great but the Mexican made Charles in this video are tighter and I’ve heard that is the case with all the Mexican made Lucchese so I have no problem with the American made Lucchese. Are any of your Lucchese’s mexican made because if not that might be the reason why your’s fit perfectly because the last in the Mexican Lucchese factory is narrower. Thanks for taking the time to comment and your support.

[@MightySmaug]

@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 I only say it because I went in to buy some Black Jacks once and one boot fit perfectly and the other boot was at least a whole size bigger…definitely a misstamp so I know it’s possible. Probably as you said though…a different sized last.

[@culichi0776]

Its sad how lucchese is going downhill. They be just like Tony Lama, a once great boot.

[@LT3Fluffy]

I did not see the extra money spent anywhere. Maybe the shafted. Alot of these heritage brand are going to lose their market share to these new guys fast

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yep that is very true

[@lionelpatterson1436]

The Lucchese boots look awesome but I don't think I could wear something that hurts my feet

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes I agree. If you are on the wider end of the D width these Lucchese will not fit as good but trust me when you have that RuJo on with the cutter toe it look much better.

[@goodrich06]

I like the color of the Lucchese but the shaft looks boring for that price.
