Lizard, Relic Lizard
Our lizard of choice, Varanus salvator or water monitor is an exotic reptile hide that has a unique natural belly seam. When aligned on two boot vamps, it makes for a striking symmetrical look. Opt for our exclusive Relic finish for a boot that adds visual texture and wears its unique battle scars with pride.
NOTE: Per California Penal Code Section 653o, "it is illegal to sell python and lizard products in California. As a result, we are unable to ship any of our lizard and python boots or accessories to addresses within the state of California. We apologize for any inconvenience!
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
- Take a damp (not wet) micro-care cloth and wipe off any dirt and residue as needed. Dry and buff leather with a horsehair brush after.
Condition
Condition every month using our Basics Care Kit or Bickmore Exotic conditioner.
Polish & Shine
- 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 wax-based polish to all the areas you wish to shine.
- Let the polish dry and then brush off the boot with a soft cloth.
- Buff with a horsehair brush to the desired level of shine.
For polish, we suggest the included polish in our Basics Care Kit.
- Lincoln wax polish (neutral) and Allen Edmonds spray shine are also great options.
