Collection: Alligator Shoes

Alligator Shoes for Men

These alligator shoes are for the man who wants a smooth, polished exotic for the office, a wedding or a late dinner. Most of the men's alligator shoes here are dress shoes, monk straps and loafers, with a strong run of sneakers alongside them. Mauri is the alligator shoe brand behind nearly every pair.

Many genuine alligator lace ups and monk straps are hand painted or burnished, which gives the skin depth and shading, while the 4862 penny loafers are cut from alligator belly. Some alligator skin shoes mix in ostrich leg, calfskin, pony hair or suede, and a handful combine alligator with baby crocodile, such as the Meravigli and Giardini dress shoes. No two hides grow the same way, so the scale layout on each pair is its own.

Black alligator dress shoes with a charcoal suit are the safe call, and brown alligator shoes in cognac or sport rust warm up navy and tan. Gator dress shoes in wonder blue, hunter green or gold are for the man who wants color at the hem. On weekends, alligator sneakers for men like the all-over 8888 Understated pair with jeans; call them gator sneakers or gator tennis shoes, the effect is the same. Prefer to judge a skin in person?

If you want ridged texture instead, our crocodile shoes focus on hornback and baby croc. To narrow by style, see crocodile and alligator dress shoes or crocodile and alligator loafers.

FAQ

Are these real gator shoes?

The alligator skins we carry are genuine. Every title names each material in the shoe, so pairs that mix in calf, nappa or pony hair are easy to spot.

What does body alligator mean in a product name?

It tells you the shoe is cut from the main body section of the alligator skin. You will see it on many Mauri monk straps, lace ups, loafers and sneakers.

Can I order an alligator style that is not in stock?

Yes, many styles can be ordered, and each product page lists the lead time for that pair. When it ships, it goes out with signature-required tracking.
