Alligator Shoes also known as gators are for the fashion-minded man who buys the very best. They are fully made by hand unlike mass-produced footwear. One time a good customer of mine was in the store shopping and was interested in buying some of what he referred to as Gator Shoes. He had heard other people bragging about the fact that either they owned a pair of Alligator Dress Shoes or they knew someone that did. He had heard reviews that men's gator shoes made with alligator skin leather cost hundreds of dollars which I had confirmed to him. He didn't quite understand why these fancy mens shoes with alligator skin cost so much. So quickly I went and retrieved a pair of Belvedere Shoes and pulled them out of the box for review. I gave him one shoe to look at and I had the other shoe. I started explaining to him why these handmade exotic skin shoes cost so much more than a look-alike version of a printed leather shoe that cost one tenth of the price. I pointed out that first of all there is a rarity of exotic animal skins like alligator available to be made into to these hand made luxury shoes. I also explained the fact that gold costs so much more than silver to buy because in comparison there is much less gold in the world than there is silver so by that very nature it will make the gold cost that much more. Second, I started showing him the quality features that a pair of genuine alligator shoes for men have. I told him to pull out the paper stuffing and put his hand inside the pricey oxfords he was holding. Feel that? It's a full lambskin glove leather lining that is buttery smooth. Your feet will feel that luxury immediately. You don't find that in a pair of $70 shoes that you buy. At best, there may be a partial cheap pigskin leather lining but if you put your hand inside you will feel that the forefoot part of the shoes has fabric for a lining not a full glove quality lambskin lining that you would find in a pair of real gator shoes.
