Luke Bryan will go to great lengths to help up-and-coming artists; even giving the shoes right off his feet! American Idol contestant, Colby Swift, had holes worn right through the bottom of his cowboy boots. Luke decided to then take the shoes off his own feet and give them to Colby.
Luke asked Colby to show the camera the holes in his shoes and then asked what size he was. Colby responded that he’ll wear whatever fits and Luke said he wears a 12D and can solve his little shoe problem.

Luke handed his boots and Colby and said “These boots are made for walking into the next round”!
Even Lionel Richie chimed in to give his two cents on the special moment:
We just couldn’t let you keep walking in those boots, Colby… really amazing moment with @LukeBryanOnline ????????#AmericanIdol #HollywoodWeek

Our very own Bobby Bones even witnessed the exchange and took to Twitter to say he had water in his eyes and Luke is just as sweet in real life as he is on television.
