Hello everyone, in this article I wanted to do something a little different and give you my favorite or the best men’s cowboy boots from each brand at Pinto Ranch. The 5 brands in question here are Black Jack boots, Lucchese Boots, Rios of Mercedes, Stallion, and last but not least, Tony Lama men’s western boots. These are my personnel choice and a couple are probably on sale. You’re welcome!
Now, I would like to make it clear that I am doing this in alphabetical order by brand name. Just because I’m doing Black Jack first, that doesn’t mean it’s my favorite out of the top brands. Picking a favorite would probably take me months and months to ponder, and then I would probably end up changing my mind a hundred times just because all of these boots are absolutely fantastic! Rounded toe, snip toe, roper, or a square toe cowboy boot, Pinto Ranch has them all.
I’m also gonna do something I normally do and list the price of the boot with each pair. I want complete transparency. Some of these may seem pretty expensive, but trust me, you are definitely getting what you pay for. The quality of every boot that I’ve seen at Pinto Ranch is second to none. This is definitely footwear that could easily last you for the rest of your life. Many a person have actually stated they wanted to be buried in their cowboy boots. Once you get a pair from Pinto Ranch, you will know why they made this statement.

It took me awhile to pick from the 37 different Black Jack men’s boots that Pinto Ranch (exclusive) offers, but I just love these chocolate caiman handmade men’s cowboy boots. Then I saw that they were almost $400 off and that just solidified my choice. Hey, I love saving money just like anyone else. Not all the Black Jack boots at Pinto Ranch are on sale, but they do have quite a few and I guarantee you that you will find a pair you love.

I don’t know, call me crazy, but I just picked a Lucchese men’s boot made from goat! LOL. Now just the process of picking a Lucchese handmade western boots out of a selection of 41 different styles is like trying to pick the best Lamborghini on a Lamborghini lot. I mean it’s Lucchese for god’s sakes. I want them all. I love some of them, but I definitely like them all. When it came down to it, I ended up choosing one of the cheaper pairs just because I like the look of it the best. It has some sort of antique or vintage look that I just love. I mean the boots are made from goat and I could have selected from ostrich, elk, caiman, etc… etc… A ton of exotic leathers and looks to choose from, but I loved these!
Here’s a number for you……1883. That is the date Lucchese boot makers first started making handmade cowboy boots. It’s crazy to think about a company that has been around that long if you ask me. Lucchese is definitely synonymous with the word cowboy boots. It’s also synonymous when you think of words like handcrafted, excellence, quality, style, and attention to detail, etc… when you are trying to describe a pair of their cowboy boots. Like every classic pair of Lucchese handmade cowboy boots, they all come with Lucchese’s one year warranty so you know you are getting the highest quality pair of boots money can buy!

Stallion handmade boots didn’t come on the scent until 1980 which is almost 40 years ago, but in the boot world, they are pretty young. They definitely don’t show it though because they have some beautiful styles and the quality is exceptional. They also have some great reviews on the Pinto Ranch site. They are definitely a hit.
I really loved these boots and went with a shorter look this time. Hey, you don’t always need or even want a 12″ shaft. Actually Stallion only has 11 different styles on the Pinto site and 8 of them are shorties. This look caught my eye immediately and I just had to have them. Definitely one of the best cowboy boots for men I’ve seen.
