Joao,
It's as square as I have or am willing to go. Hope others will post some square toe styles.

These are latest Justin's I've acquired...coming from Roper toed, the wide square is not too much of a "duck foot" look

"Duck foot"...... :rofl:
That toe's not for me, but I really like the color combination of the black and red ones.

I resisted the square toe look for years. The Cutting & Reining show circuit went there quite a while ago. I was a dyed in the wool Justin Roper wearer for years then went to Ariat Hexcel Pro Ropers for all of my Reining horse show career, roughly 1989 to 1999. Wore medium/semi round toe up to then.
Now I like Luchesse, Rios of Mercedes & USA made Justins now. Age has spread out my foot too, so the square toe is comfortable.
Never have been one for the real pointed toes ever. Still have some semi-round & roper toed boots that I regularly wear.
These are my every day in the saddle ones...
Box still had the original price tag. $119.00

I have read about the good old days (in TX, I suppose) when one took their boots in for a "clean and press" they would refresh heels, polish, cleaning toe bugs decorative colors etc. and bleach the white outsole stitching.
I have purposely dyed-down-to-brown, the white out-sole stitching, as I think it looks loud/cheap, but I'm not a purist either. These custom-tooled Lucchese Classics came through with not only white, but DOUBLE-row white stitching, even though my instructions were to make the stitching dark (as compared to the custom boots I was copying). So, out came the brown sole dressing. Worked out OK.
Oh, and fyi, I still don't believe they are hand-tooled/carved. Both boot shafts are identical and have scary sharp-edges, as opposed to my Tres Outlaws that have apparent, soft differences.

So, I pose this question with all historical respect: Given your address, do these make you an official (literal) "Georgia Cracker?"

Your "hand tooled" Lucchese classics are hand tooled only in the sense that someone hand pushed a button. In regards to white stitching, it is often a request on custom made boots as well as a natural welt. Some like the contrast. As far as looking loud/cheap, that's a matter of personal taste. Sort of the way I feel about the double row stitching on the welt which serves no practical purpose.

Impressive tooled boots, Tip Top!!
I like the contrast heel counter and the little stitch detail near the piping on the vamp, Bamaboots.

Inspired by GTDean's post, here's my worn out Justins.
If I ever fully wrung my money's worth out of a pair of boots, these are the ones.

Not what we typically see posted here but I thought if any of the ladies follow this thread, they might enjoy these. Found these for the lady of the house. Got them for her because, as she said, she works hard for my money. In some jurisdictions I would be arrested for theft for the ridiculous price I paid for these. Don't believe the seller knew what they had.
These are American gator belly with a gator collar inlayed with dark brown suede and full gator overlays on the pulls. Boots were designed by Barbara Grimes of Gossamer Wings in Santa Fe. Leather jacket designer and maker for Travis Tritt, Randy Travis and others according to her website. They offer deerskin vests for men starting at $1800.00. The boots were built by Tres Outlaws.

Years agoDid they stop selling shoe polish in B'ham?
These boots started life with a sueded/nubuck type finish. The years have worn them mostly smooth. They've had a few coats of conditioner laid to 'em at this point, but that's it.
Nice looking lady gators, by the way.
