anyone interest in alligator boots made by Enzo bonafe or have some recommended alligator shoes maker?
I actually am interested. I believe these are by Enzo bonafe.

What if this boot could be done in both leather and alligator suede (suede alligator to replace where the suede is in this pic on this boot)?

sorry,i didn't attach a pic. DO you reply to the right member.
Yes. I was attaching an image of what I believe are a pair of Enzo Bonafe boots and inquired about the prospect of having the suede portion of the boots (in the image) made in alligator suede. Just a thought that I’d put out there based on your original inquiry.

Yes,they are Enzo Bonafé.I love the Hunter boots made by Enzo Bonafé.I have the shell style. I prefer the glazed cognac alligator. The price will be about MTO $3300, and we need 4 members to waive the surchage. The GMTO price will be around $3000.
Also suede alligator is more difficult to find than glazed or matte.

0C3A1748-3F11-43EF-8A06-7CA185533C37.jpeg I thrifted a pair of shoes and was wondering if someone here may be able to tell me if they’re real alligator or crocodile.

They don’t have any insoles or identifier as to who made them. There is, however, an indentation on the sole that says Made in Italy.

I’ve conditioned the leather, which is surprisingly soft and light (and the shoes are incredibly comfortable).

When I bend the shoes the “scales” appear to pop out and the indentations between them become more pronounced. They also seem to be of a decent quality, judging from the leather interior and overall make.

I don’t think these are fakes, but I know very little about alligator and crocodile.

Any ideas? If real, any thoughts on whether they’re alligator or crocodile or even a guess as to the maker or how old they may be?

Thanks I’m advance.
