If you ever want to see the embodiment of swagger, watch the opening of “Saturday Night Fever”: John Travolta—and his glorious real hair—strutting through Brooklyn to the Bee Gees, as the camera zooms in for a closeup of his red, shiny shoes.
They would have been alligator-skin if he could have afforded it. There are many reasons every man should own a pair of exotic shoes, and they all add up to this; confidence. So, why do you need a pair?
Quality
If exotic-skin shoes cost more than you usually pay, rest assured that they’re worth four cheap pairs, at least. This is not disposable footwear. Animal skin is in a different class than leather. Each skin has unique characteristics, and the random patterns create textures for built-in detailing you can’t get any other way. Exotic skins amplify the cutting-edge designs of brands such as Mauri, who insist on old-world techniques such as hand-crafting and hand-stitching. The word for that? Luxury.
Versatility
Ditch the image in your head when you think of “exotic shoes” because there’s a pair out there that fits your look, not the other way around. Whether you want to add some subtle polish to your outfit or turn heads with a pair of statement shoes, there are more ways to wear exotic skin shoes than you can imagine. Dudes Boutique carries the following varieties:
- Wingtips
- Oxfords
- Lace-up sneakers
- High-top sneakers
- Driving loafers
- Penny loafers
- Ankle boots
- Biker boots
- Cowboy boots
- Sandals
Now mix-and-match those with every color in the rainbow, and imagine the possibilities with all these skins:
- Crocodile
- Alligator
- Lambskin
- Ostrich
- Python
- Cobra
- Lizard
Now, picture all of that with exquisite touches like two-tone contrast, kangaroo fur, hand-painting, and additional materials like pony, suede, and patent leather. With all that, you can find something to wear for every occasion. Exotic skins have got you covered.
Style
Every exotic skin level up your look with unmistakable, luxe sophistication. Burgundy ostrich loafers do the talking for you, and they’re usually saying, “I’ve got somewhere better to go after this.” Green hornback crocodile shoes signal the rugged strength of a real survivor. Orange python sneakers are a reminder that everyone collects Nikes—but you are not everyone. Are they jealous? You know they are. You may set trends and inspire copycats, but they won’t measure up to the original.
Once you’ve bought them for yourself, you’ll understand the reasons why every man should own a pair of exotic shoes. Every great man walks tall when he’s grounded with world-class footwear.
