Materials & Craftsmanship

These high-top ankle boots use 100% genuine crocodile skin in black with side ZIP closure and street style design—combining authentic exotic leather with contemporary boot construction creating fashion-forward luxury footwear.

Understanding Genuine Crocodile Skin:

The material is authentic exotic leather from farmed crocodiles:

• CITES compliance: Legal international exotic leather trade
• Ethical sourcing: Controlled farming versus wild poaching
• Quality consistency: Farm-raised provides superior material
• Sustainability: Managed populations maintain species responsibly

Genuine Crocodile Skin Characteristics:

• Natural scale patterns: Each hide shows distinctive arrangements unique to individual crocodile—no two pairs identical. The black color makes these natural patterns visually prominent creating textured aesthetic.
• Exceptional urban durability: Significantly more scratch and wear-resistant than cow leather—crucial for street style boots receiving regular casual wear and urban environment exposure.
• Natural moisture resistance: Inherent water resistance superior to standard leather, though not waterproof—valuable for winter boots encountering city snow and slush.
• Superior aging: Develops rich patina over years of wear. Black crocodile darkens in high-wear areas, creating authentic vintage character that enhances street style aesthetic.
• Flexible strength: Maintains toughness while remaining supple for comfortable all-day urban wear.

Sizing & Fit

These authentic crocodile skin high-top ankle boots run true to size using EU standard sizing. Order your standard boot size. The side ZIP allows easy entry and fit adjustment.

The crocodile leather is naturally supple but won’t stretch significantly. The ZIP closure means proper sizing is important—zipper accommodates entry, but overall fit should be correct.

Sizing Recommendations:

If you’re between sizes:

• Stay with usual size for standard fit—the ZIP provides entry ease
• Size up if you have wider calves making high-top entry difficult even with ZIP
• Size down only if you have narrow feet and ankles

The round toe provides comfortable room. The high-top design requires boot to slide over ankle/lower calf—the side ZIP makes this significantly easier than pull-on boots.

Break-in Period:

Expect 5-7 days. The crocodile leather is naturally supple. The high-top shaft requires time to conform to ankle/calf contours. The ZIP doesn’t require break-in itself.

Care Guide

Urban Wear Cleaning:

Brush with soft brush after wear—city environments expose boots to more debris. For crocodile, use barely damp cloth for spot cleaning between scales. Use exotic leather cleaner.

Inspect scale edges periodically—street wear can stress exotic leather. Address lifting or drying with exotic skin conditioner immediately.

ZIP Care:

Keep zipper mechanism clean and functional:

• Brush debris from teeth
• Apply zipper lubricant if sticky
• Ensure smooth operation
• Check stitching around zipper regularly

Conditioning:

Apply exotic leather conditioner every 4-6 weeks for frequently worn street style boots. Urban environments can be harsh on leather.

Sole Care:

Cowskin outsole handles urban wear well but consider rubber topy sole for extended lifespan and enhanced traction on city streets.

Storage:

Use boot trees to maintain high-top shaft shape. Store in breathable bags away from sunlight.

Professional Care:

Use specialists experienced with exotic leathers and ZIP boot construction.
