Two matched hides of alligator with custom dye job=$1200.00 minimum. Not to mention the lining, insole, outsole, heel layers, etc., and labour.

"Stupid?" Who knows?

Just sayin'...

Spoo did you see these by Ron Rider? I think they look fantastic.

1950's Florsheim Longwing Gunboats (when the model was introduced) in Buffalo hide. Great bad weather leather, practically indestructible

You sure? I've felt buffalo hide and it was quite supple and I thought that one of the unique characteristics was its strength despite its suppleness.
