Check out the WitmerLab 3D Alligator site and the Holliday Lab 3D Alligator site. We also present some of our 3D alligator work on an adult done “way back” in 2008. Sad perhaps, but this little guy is now immortal, because we’re releasing him to the tubes of the interwebz. Casey’s team presents an adult skull, and we present a wee gatorling, a “day-0” hatchling that was stillborn on its birthday. In both cases, we’re starting with the skull, although we include a few soft-tissue systems that are active areas of research for us (brain, inner ear, sinuses, etc.). Now, we’re joining with Casey Holliday’s lab at the University of Missouri to present the 3D Alligator, two parallel, complementary, and growing websites that present alligator anatomy in all its 3D digital glory. WitmerLab has been working on American alligators for years, because crocodilians are one of just two living groups (birds are the other) of that great tribe known as archosaurs that includes dinosaurs and pterosaurs. They’re also commonly used in K-12 and undergraduate classrooms. What might be a surprise is that they’re also “model animals” for scientists, meaning that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of published technical articles on all things gatorly. They’re team mascots, Transformer toys, actors in Lubriderm commercials (and CSI: Miami), unwanted golfing partners, and even expensive cowboy boots. Lemonwood is more malleable than metal, expanding and contracting at an almost identical rate as leather.Alligators are everywhere. A typical boot has about 45 pegs, each carefully hammered by hand into a small hole. Outsole and insole are held together by a three-quarter welt and lemonwood pegs. We also use premium leathers on the outside, detailing quarters with exquisite hand-stitched designs, carefully crafted inlays, hand-cording, and more.Ī premium leather stacked heel and a natural leather sole are the foundation of our boots. Also on the inside: a leather heel counter, which reinforces the heel cup. A method used with hand-sewn bespoke shoes, creating a channel in the leather insole hides the stitches for a perfectly smooth footbed. To secure a boot’s upper and insole together, we use a channel technique. This old-world technique allows the leather in the front of the boot to mold to the foot easily, for greater comfort and support. To start, we source premium leathers - even to line our boots - and we construct the boot’s interior with a hung vamp.
We build our boots entirely by hand, using only top-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship from the inside out. K TOE This is a rounded toe with a defined squared off outsole for contrast. Z TOE The narrow rounded toe is close to a common dress shoe as it narrows.Ģ TOE A more narrow rounded toe that almost comes to a point is found on traditional western styles. X1 - FRENCH TOE Found on dress boots this rounded toe abuts a squared off outsole for a distinguished look. R - ROPER TOE The roper toe is rounded and has a u-shape that is most like a normal shoe toe shape.Ĭ TOE Similar to the roper toe, the C toe has a slightly less rounded u-shape often found on work boots. S5 - 5 TOE WITH A SPRING Our 5 toe with a pronounced upward curvature of the toe box. S TOE Found on dress and casual styles this rounded toe abuts a squared off outsole for a distinguished look. (⅞” wide)Ħ MEDIUM ROUND TOE A traditional rounded western toe, it is timeless and elegant.ĥ - SNIP TOE Originally made for getting in and out of a stirrup, the snip toe is pointed for a traditional look. (1 ½” wide)ħ WESTERN SQUARE TOE A modern take on the classic western style, this square toe is one of our most popular. W TOE Our modern square toe is found on walking & riding boots and is known for its comfort. Q TOE Modeled as a hybrid toe, it is highlighted by its squared-off edge and low profile.
Lucchese offers a variety of toe shapes and heel styles so every customer can find a boot well-suited for his or her particular lifestyle and personality.
