A Perfect Profile
A snip-toe zip bootie with a slimmer fit through the ankle and a taller 7” shaft than our other booties, The Dakota and straight-leg jeans go together like a dream. Getting into ‘em is a breeze — a subtle inside zipper and scalloped topline deliver easy-on comfort to rival their fashion-forward appeal. Available in soft, supple suede, brush-off cowhide with a lightly distressed finish, or showstopping lizard with a cowhide shaft. Take them out for a spin and you won’t look back.
- Snip toe
- Pieced vamp
- 2” leather-wrapped angled heel
- 7” shaft with subtle inside zipper
*Please Note: No two authentic animal hides are exactly the same. Color, texture, grain, and pattern variation can be expected from piece to piece.
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.
