11. Exotics – Crocodile, Alligator, Ostrich, Shark and Lizard
Most fashion boots will be made from cow leather and embossed to replicate a particular animal hide. However, western or cowboy boot manufacturers are specifically known for using exotic leather hides which will be more exclusive and considerably pricier than most cowhide and the look and feel of these leathers are distinctive, rare and beautiful. Cow leather is popular as daily work western gear for its durability, however investing in boots made from an exotic hide elevates the rarity of the boot and communicates the owner’s sense of style.
Luxury leather shoes are a major investment while offering long term benefits. A quality pair of shoes backed by traditions, history, meticulous craftsmanship and premium materials will ensure a longer lifespan, ensure comfortability and support for your feet. In addition, a beautiful pair of leather shoes allows you to express your classic, status, and timeless style. -AJ
