So what is everyone's thoughts on shoes made from things other than the usual leathers? They don't seem too common, except in cowboy boots, but I was curious about people's thoughts on this.

Imo, the only non usual leather that does no look ghastly to me is sharkskin.

I've always been a fan of a crocodile camp moc, though I'm not really sure why. RL has made numerous variations over the years that I've liked.

I love the driving loafers that Gucci made last year in alligator, in a dark, shiny gator, marvelous.
Also I love lizard and gator on belts, suitcase,wallets.
Hate ostrich though.
