*EDUCATIONAL POSTING—Do NOT PURCHASE*
Friends, it’s truly unfathomable—& honestly quite disheartening—the level of outright deceit—along with misrepresentation out of ignorance—that’s occurring today, more than ever, in the resale boot industry.
We’ve tried to not just sit idly by, & have created prior educational postings but, unfortunately, it’s just continuing to worsen. So we thought it time to revisit the matter—this time focusing on one of the current worst offenders: Lucchese sellers.
It’s no exaggeration that at least 50%—as a conservative estimate—of the boot listings we see—on any given platform—has some significant error—either intentionally misleading or erroneously mislabeled & misrepresented in some way. Examples include: wrong gender category, incorrect size, width errors or omissions, condition/defect/damage misrepresentation &/or omissions, mislabeled brands, copies of boots, pricing errors, mismatched boots—either sizing or a new one we’re seeing: completely two different model number boots being sold as a matching set…& the list goes on!
We’ve included some of these erroneous listings & issues in the images above—which should clearly speak for themselves—in our further efforts to educate the consumer.
We again urge you to do your due diligence when purchasing so trusted boot sellers can be here to serve you, & most importantly, your hard earned money ain’t blowin in the wind! As James Bond says, “I know the rules, & number one is: there’s ‘no deals’.”

I truly appreciate the time & effort to explain these concerns to the innocent bystander. I worked at Boot Barn & know how hard it is for customers to pay an average of $400 on a pair of boots but the craftsmanship & materials that go in to that boot make it worth it. Luchesse boots are amazing.

@botablu @patrickmcdavid ,look at the two posts from at Sir T's Trailorium, whoever that is, is trying to sell 2 pairs of Walmart, "bobo" brand Herman Survivors cowboy boots at $400 each, they are like $60 at your local "Wally World", there are so many scammers on here, best to stick with real deal sellers and people who know what they're talking about.

Peek at @kmmountain29. They are selling Lucchese lizard boots as alligator. I tried to help them in saying they were lizard and not alligator but they were nasty. They said they have proof. blocked me then increased the price. Before blocking me, Provided me with the interior numbers of boots that don’t match what’s in the listing as proof they were alligator. When I looked it up it was a completely different boot than what they are selling. Yes, always know what you are buying.

@chrispistorio Hi. If you’re referring to the same pair, Lucchese should have been able to provide most all the details you’d want. Unless they’re an older/vintage model, and then they’re not able to provide much info at all.

I have noticed on the internet search engines there are bootleg sellers like Mensootd posting stolen pictures of the real boots to sell their junk for under $100.
In some cases they claim they are leather and other times they admit they are man-made material. They are obviously not the same boots shown in their stolen photos when seen in person.
I have contacted some of the companies to inform them.

I am interested in a two pair n156054 and n154754. I can find 74 on Lucchese website but not 54. Also, there are no visible wedges on the bottoms of the boot. Did Lucchese have leather single soles without visible wedges?

botablu
@tejas_red In response to the first part of your question: yes, in general 1883’s are their entry/most-affordable option. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule. “Full quill” has nothing to do with product lines—it’s a descriptor relating to Ostrich leather that has raised quills.

@doodlemom_ Hi. Yes, they tended to be more of an entry product line. Similar to 1883’s in that respect. However, there were 2000’s whose MSRP was not necessarily inexpensive either—especially their exotic skins—such as caiman. But comparatively, still generally not in the same league or expense as the higher-end lines.

@larryinla Thanks. This isn’t just on Poshmark. Many of these examples above were taken from other platforms. We have complied thousands of examples of these type of listings. It’s a systemic problem going on—and not just with Lucchese’s either. Unfortunately the platforms don’t have the process, system, or any real adequate infrastructure in place to properly handle this. And what is in place—like flagging/reporting listings or sellers—regardless of what they claim—just doesn’t usually work.
