In honor of the Hampton Family, PFI and Lucchese have teamed up to create a men’s and women’s Handmade Lucchese Classic boot, which consists of soft buffalo calf leather on both the foot and shaft. In addition, the boots feature the Extreme Makeover Home Edition logo, which was embroidered onto the shaft. Each boot is signed personally by Ty Pennington….which makes these boots priceless!
On Wednesday, September 30th, these boots will be available for auction, with the proceeds going to the Hampton Family. The conclusion of the auction will be on Tuesday, October 6th at 9:00am.

Check out their story below:
The original family of four doubled in size not long ago after a fateful phone call from a social services agency. Chris and Niki Hampton were told they had just one hour to decide if they would take in their four nieces and nephews or let them go to foster care.
Chris and Niki didn’t hesitate to open their hearts and home to young Gage, Kira, Lexi and Jacob, who now range in age from two to eight years old. Squeezing out the space for them, together with eleven-year-old son Dakota and eight-year-old daughter Hannah, has been the real challenge. Currently, the three boys share one set of bunk beds in the dining room, and the three girls share another set of bunks in what used to be a utility closet. Since the cottage has no closets, plastic storage bins are stacked floor-to-ceiling in every room. Dinner is served assembly line-style, and everyone sits on the floor except for the youngest children in booster seats.
What the family lacks in comfort and space, they more than make up for with love. The children are incredibly close – literally and figuratively – and Chris and Niki look forward to the day when they move beyond full legal custody of their nieces and nephews to become their – adoptive parents.
Chris, a land surveyor, basketball and football coach, and president of the Missouri Family Rodeo Association (MFRA), and Niki, a saleswoman and MFRA secretary, also have rescued six horses that live on their five-acre farm along with three dogs.
