About Tony Lama
Every pair of handcrafted Tony Lama boots celebrates the true buckaroo spirit of the American West. And it´s not easy to stitch that much attitude into a boot. The process takes more than 100 steps. Throw in today´s sophisticated comfort and durability technologies, and you´ve got the best of both worlds -- classic craftsmanship and advanced performance. No wonder Tony Lama is the most recognized Western boot brand in the world.
Of course, there wouldn´t be a Tony Lama if it weren´t for Tony Lama Sr.
Born to Italian immigrant parents in 1887, Tony Lama learned his first lessons in the boot industry at the early age of 11. An uncle apprenticed the boy to a shoemaker in Syracuse, New York where he learned the leather and boot trade. Realizing the importance of a good boot fit from his stint in the US Cavalry after the turn of the century, Tony Lama set out to make the best fitting, most comfortable boot possible. Tony Lama Boots was founded in 1911.
In the 1930s, Western wear stores began asking for his boots. To meet the growing demands, Tony Lama developed methods to produce greater quantities without sacrificing the key steps in hand crafting. In 1961, nearly 50 years after the first store opened, Tony Lama moved into larger quarters and began making 750 pairs of boots a day.
Tony Lama passed away in 1974, but his sons and daughters continued his tradition of quality and hand craftsmanship, making this a true American success story. The legacy created by the humble cobbler, a hard working entrepreneur with a fierce pride in his craft, lives on. The same commitment to quality is reflected in the corporation that bears Tony Lama´s name today. All leather construction, a handcrafted fit, that´s the legacy of Tony Lama kept alive by a select group of bootmakers who have earned the right to be called craftsman.

Tony Lama Reviews
Great boot. Great fit. True size 8. Really comfortable from first wear.Well worth the cost and as always the best customer service.
This boot has an extra wide toe box and it is large around the calf. It was tight getting it over my arch. Still it was really cute. I wear and 8 1/2 but this felt like a whole size bigger. Boot has beautiful stitching detail.
I am in love with this belt! Just enough shine to stand out and subtle enough to be classic. What impressed me the most was the Zappos customer service!
I bought this belt to wear with my levi's and it does well, mostly. Looks authentic and decent. Problem is a couple of the studs came off the first time or two I wore the belt. Also turns out they are just glued on, versus actual studs that penetrate the leather. Quite disapoointed with this but little i can do about it at this point. Had I known the studs were glued on I would not have pruchased.

So cute! The bottoms are a bit slippery but should get better with wear. The color and leather detailing are amazing. Ordered 5.5 and they fit a little big but with socks are darn near perfect. They are comfortable, classic, yet modern. Love!
The upper boot was too narrow. I couldn't even get my foot into the shoe part. The shoe part appeared to be larger than true size.
This is a beautiful boot! I ordered a half size smaller than normal and it fits great with thin socks (my feet are a little wider than average).

These are beautiful boots, but the left one fit like a glove and the right one felt like the size 7 that we had already returned. I am very disappointed that I cannot find the right size to fit, this marked the third pair of cowboy boots that we are returning and I am beginning to think that I am just not supposed to have cowboy boots.
My Zappos grant has always been excellent on every purchase including this one.all of my orders have come quickly and any time I have had to make a return they were handled excellent. Don
These are a great pair of boots. Perfect for a larger calf. Very comfortable. Nice detailing on the top of the foot box. Just a really outstanding, nice looking boot.

I own a pair of Tony Lama's that are 26 years old. I just love them. They are black lizard skin and I wore them in 3 different weddings. I was looking for a more casual boot. Out of the box these boots fit like an old favorite pair. I almost want to sleep in them. Can't wait to wear them to work, and show them off at all the holiday gatherings this season.
I bought these boots close to a year ago but I love them. I am still awed by the awesome styling and want them to last forever. The Sierra Gold Rush color is amazing - somewhere between a brownish/olive color.

I just received my boots yesterday and they are absolutely awesome! I love them! I usually wear an 8½, but I ordered the 8, based on many of the previous reviews. The 8 fit so well. The color, stitching and leather are so beautiful! Also, Zappos' customer service is fantastic! All of the representatives that I encountered are so nice, so understanding, and were very willing to satisfy me. I love Zappos thus far. I just put in another order with them today for some Minnetonka boots and I do not have any doubt that Zappos will take care of me!

Love these boots!!! Amazingly comfortable right out of the box! With such a pointed toe, I did not expect them to be, but they are! And could they be any cuter?? I'm in love...
Absolutely love them. They look awesome. Just 1 problem very hard to put on first few days!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this boot! I have been very loyal to FRYE and said I was ruined, as they are THE BEST. Swore there could never be another boot as comfortable, durable and stylish as what FRYE offers. These make me take by what I said! I'm hooked on these; TONY LAMA and will continue to purchase. The quality is equivalent to FRYE and much more reasonably priced. Not to mention the beauty and comfort! This style is so pretty! I get compliments EVERY time I wear them! Thanks!
I love these boots! I ordered them on a Thursday afternoon for a Saturday concert and of course they were delivered the next day (love Zappos service!) I generally wear an 8 or 8.5 so after reading the reviews that said they run a little big, I ordered the 8. I had plenty of room and they were comfy without having to be broken in. Very cute boots. I ordered the Tan Santa Fe and I know I will wear the heck out of them!
