As the name implies, shoes made from alligator skin are commonly called alligator shoes. Just as with the leather that comes from cows, alligator shoes are made from the hides of alligators. Comparing the hide of a cow and the skin of an alligator is like comparing apples and oranges. The alligator skin is so many levels above the cow hide in every category. This is why gator shoes are so popular. The quality and natural durability makes it one of the best shoes in the world. Because of limited availability of alligator skins, the shoes are relatively expensive in comparison to other shoes constructed of more common materials, such as the cowhide mentioned before. Just recently, due to better controls by the Fish and Wildlife Service, more alligator products are being made available since their population is growing again.
Like crocodiles, alligators have been on the planet for many millions of years and are the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs. Their huge teeth and incredibly resilient, tough skins give us an indication of what the dinosaurs may have been like. This same quality is also what makes them such great shoes. They are practically indestructible and in addition to being used for shoes, the hides are also used to fashion wallets and belts.
One of the top makers of alligator shoes is the Mezlan company from Spain. These shoes are considered some of the highest quality alligator shoes you can find with some of the best craftsmanship in the shoe industry. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and styles that are sure to please any owner.
Another very well known maker of not only alligator skin shoes but also other exotic skins such as ostrich, crocodile, and lizard is the David Eden Company. They have one of the largest selections of colors and designer styles in the entire world. Their products range from very simple and plain to something that is colorful and trendy.
Regent is another company that specializes in high quality exotic designer shoes from all over the world. Although they feature shoes from all kinds of different skins and in a wide variety of styles, their specialty is their exotic skin department. This company is also known for having a wide array of sizes including those for people with extra wide feet.
The International Manufacturing Group Int. is a shoe company that is just beginning to make its mark in the exotic shoe industry. They are known for having very low price on their products.
Everyone needs to own at least one pair of alligator shoes before they die. I only say this because you only know how good of a shoe they really are once you try them on. They are truly a treasure to own.
