The Statement Slide
Meet The Carmen, a fashion sandal with a distinctly Western look and feel. Here in a variety of distinct exotic hides, its wide vamp strap has a subtle Western scallop that also gives it a natural flex point for added comfort in each step. A soft square toe accommodates many foot widths, and micro-piping rounds to the Western details. It’s handcrafted in time-honored tradition by way of a stitched, rolled-welt, the insole of which is padded and lined with breathable cowhide. Its leather outsole features a slim rubber sole saver for grip and durability.

Python
Coveted by collectors, exotic python will hold a special place in your rack. Soft, uniquely textured with scales that say it all without speaking a word — python is sure to hold onlookers’ attention, tight. Slither over to make your selection between two can’t-miss choices that are sure to charm: back-cut, featuring the snake’s underbelly, or belly-cut showing off its back.

Store Your Boots
- Store your boots in a dry and dark place.
- Alternate boot-wearing days to let boots properly dry out.
- Ideally, store with tissue, newspaper, or a cedar shoe tree that does not stretch the leather.
These methods above will help minimize moisture and extend the life of your boots.
How To Clean
- Brush dirt off after every wear with the Brick Brush; use a damp Leather Care Cloth if necessary.
Condition
- ALWAYS condition with the grain of the scales.
- While boots are still damp, lightly apply conditioner over the entire boot, ideally with fingers, but you can use a brush or cloth.
- Buff with a horsehair brush or dry microfiber cloth.
- Condition every month. Python is a sensitive hide that can crack if too wet or too dry. It’s important to take extra care even if the boots are not being worn regularly.
Condition every month using Exotic Polish.
Polish & Shine
- We recommend avoiding polish. If you must polish, cream-based polishes are much better than oil-based.
- Polishing will leave the boots with a glossy finish. We suggest avoiding colored polishes since they can alter the color of your boots.
- After your boots have dried, apply a small amount of cream-based polish to all the areas you wish to shine.
Let the polish dry and then wipe off the boot with the Leather Care Cloth.
Buff with the Brick Brush to the desired level of shine, always working with the grain of the scales.
