Back when I was 25, I bought myself a pair of dark cherry, ostrich skin Lucchese boots. The boots were/are sharp looking but it was just one in a long line of bad decisions at the time. I turned 50 last week and all year I kept racking my brain trying to think of what I wanted. I kept coming back to the Lucchese's. I wanted to book end the last 25 years. If you told 25 year me the life 50 year old me would have, he would have thought you were high.
So, for my 50th, I got a pair of brown, alligator skin boots. I ordered them from a store to ship to my house due to them being a particular size. The store people were great to deal with. There is still something sharp about that cowboy/cowgirl look. Boots, tight jeans, and a simply shirt or blazer. (Not the bro country dip shits who look like a youth minister at a non denominational church.)
Old boots on the left. They held up well. Ostrich skin boots slap with some drip or whatever the kids say now....
