The Bowie Hornback American Alligator Boots are a true masterpiece of western craftsmanship. The unmistakable hallmark of luxury and style, the hornback American alligator vamp brings an unparalleled level of sophistication to these boots. Adorned with hand-corded detail, fancy stitching, an American Alligator Inlay accent, and American Alligator inlaid earpulls, these boots are as eye-catching as they are comfortable.

Unique by Nature

No two authentic animal hides are exactly alike. Natural variations in color, texture, grain and pattern are a part of what makes each and every pair one of a kind.

Sculpted by Nature
Hornback is distinguished by the raised, bony scutes that run along the alligator's back, creating a surface unlike any other section of the hide. Their pronounced contours give the leather a commanding presence and unmistakable dimensional character.
Dramatic Expression
Hornback preserves the rugged character of the alligator in its most dramatic form, bringing natural texture to the forefront of the design. The result is an exotic defined by its bold profile, extraordinary detail, and unmistakable presence.
Depth in Every Detail
The raised scutes of hornback create a richly textured surface, with each ridge bringing depth and definition to the natural pattern. Light catches the contours differently from every angle, revealing the remarkable dimension of the hide.

Stunning Craftsmanship

This is my first pair of Vaccari boots and I am thoroughly impressed. The construction is solid and the boots look amazing. I followed the sizing guide for this particular boot and ordered it EE. The fit is perfect for me.

Saw these and wanted them will buy this style again and again when different colors are around

Saw these and wanted them will buy this style again and again when different colors are around. Never would have believed how perfect they felt from the first second I put them on. And I have told so many people and even taken them to the website and told them not to cheat themselves and buy a pair

Several problems with shaft, poor quality control

My boots came with a large superficial cut to the shaft. The cut was dyed over, so it existed during production, but was ignored. There are also several areas where the dye didn't take, so there are light spots around the shaft near the vamp and other locations. The alligator vamp was perfect, and the numerous imperfections can be hidden behind jeans, but shouldn't need to be. I tried contacting them but their nonexistent CS never contacted me back, so I guess I'm stuck with the problem.

Love the boots true to

Love the boots true to size, I ordered a pair of Ostrich boots. Then next day. I have 14 pairs including these two. I have some in 10. EE, some 10D, 10. 5D and 9. 5EE. Different companies different feel. These felt great but right foot big toe is a lil tight. But hoping they break in. So just in case I ordered Ostrich in 10. EE. I can but a insert in it. If needed. 2yrs ago broke leg and tore ankle. So now when I but boats on. I PLAY AROUND with size. Tomorrow 1st day all day with boots. Love the look

These boots are fantastic!! I

These boots are fantastic!! I told my son about them and he bought a pair and loves them. I also bought a pair for my husband and he and I both love them. He got the EE width and finally has a pair of boots wide enough for his feet. No more squished toes. The craftsmanship is outstanding! They’re truly amazing boots.

Bowie Boots are Incredible

These Bowie style boots are high quality boots. The leather is solid piece all around not patched which really shows like highest end handmade boots. Looks just as good or better than my Lucchese but half the cost. I will buy another pair in Black when they are in in stock.

Bowie Hornedback Gator Boots

Very sharp looking boot! Comfortable with a great fit and excellent quality. I wasn’t sure I’d like the squared off toe but it works well with the Hornedback gator hide.
I’ll be purchasing more Vaccari Boots

Disappointed in this bait and switch scam..

... This is not the product I ordered. There is no skin on the heel. There is a black tar substance on the tip of the boot visible on both boots.. This does not look like real crocodile. Very disappointed. I guess I will be communicating with my credit card company, 0% liability dept!!!!
