For us fellers that can’t afford Lucchese boots mostly, which brand boot of the two do you like better and why?

They all are over priced for their quality but I believe the 2 you have in mind will be equal in that

Like em both. However the problem I've had with the twisted X is they're too dang narrow in the heel, i end up grunting and groaning like someone in a public crapper when attempting to put on. I got a nice pair of moc bottomland boots i need to send down the rd i reckon.

I wear Ariats for work and general daily wear. I like Tecovas for dress boots.

I am currently wearing Ariat Workhogs that I bought back in May. I dont think they are as comfortable as my old Georgia Farm Ranch wedge sole boots. I do believe the Ariats are better built but time will tell.

I’ve had a couple pairs of ariats for 10 or so years

I like my Ariat rebars. I have a brand new pair in the closet waiting to be broken in when my others wear out which was last year but they're too comfortable lol...

Never tried Ariats but have on a pair of twisted x at the moment. Also like Georgia Boots Athens rear zip and Danner Sharptail

I wear twisted X personally, but I suggest you go somewhere and try them both on. I have 2 pair of Ariat and they simply are not nearly as comfortable to me. I say to me because I believe it is foot dependent. I know people that prefer Ariat bc the Twisted X boots don’t fit their heel, arch, or whatever. I have the twisted x nano toe with cell stretch and also the moc driving slip on.

These Twisted X ranchers I just got are the best feelin boots I’ve ever had on my feet.

I’ve been through about 4 or 5 pairs of Ariats in the past 11 or 12 years. Always been comfortable and I wear them on a daily basis. Before that I always wore Justin’s or Wolverine.

i second Tecovas. I love my pair of Cherry wine gators. I'm also eyeing a pair of there black lizard skins.

Twisted x are more comfortable but the ariats hold up a whole lot better. Many a welding rod has been burned over the past 2 years wearing these

Twisted x worked good for me. I added an orthopedic insole to mine. I went to hoka hiking shoes and ain’t looking back. They don’t last any longer and cost more but they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I get 3-4 months out of a pair of shoes.

I like LUCCHESE BOOTS .. just fine.. when I buy I buy the best that I can afford.. got 3 pair .. 1 for work .. 1 for the bike.. 1 for the date nites with momma.. matter of fact I got about 6 pair of ariat’s and red wing to give away..

Never heard of lucchese till now

Hav worn justin and ga boots and redwings - etc and i currently wearing thorogood

All good boots too

Dang lucheese expensive - i thought thorogood was $$$

Love my twisted x, feels like wearing a tennis shoe. I got the 8" and it made pulling them over my cankles WAY easier.

If you have a narrow heel Twisted X is great.We tried every kind of boot we could find for my wife for months and nothing until she tried a pair of them
