Meet the Penelope—a luxurious women's Western cowgirl bootie crafted entirely from genuine American alligator leather. Finished in a rich navy blue hue, its naturally distinctive scale pattern ensures that every pair has a character all its own. A sleek snip toe and angled heel give this exotic ankle boot a refined, fashion-forward silhouette.
A convenient side zipper is finished with a matching American alligator tassel, adding movement and an unexpected touch of Western elegance. Sophisticated yet bold, the Penelope transitions effortlessly from elevated everyday looks to nights out and special occasions.
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.
American Alligator Belly
American alligator belly is prized for its smooth, naturally ordered scales and refined pattern. Its supple texture allows the leather to move comfortably with the boot while maintaining the clean, balanced appearance that makes this cut so desirable. The result is an unmistakable expression of exotic luxury, distinguished by its symmetry, softness, and individual character.

Care
Alligator is a hard-wearing skin, but its finish is what gives it depth. The scales sit in raised tiles with natural seams between them, and dirt and moisture collect there. Left alone, the leather dries and the tile edges dull.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, working with the grain of the tiles rather than across it. Condition sparingly two or three times a year with a product made for exotic skins. Let boots dry naturally away from direct heat, and store them with cedar trees to hold their shape.

How your boots should fit
Finding the right fit for your boots is essential for comfort and functionality. Here's a guide to ensure your boots fit just right:
Ease of Entry: Put the boot on and listen for a subtle "pop" as your foot slides into place.
General Fit: Boots should not be too loose or too tight on your foot. The ideal fit is snug (but not tight) around the entire foot.
Heel Lift Check: Confirm there is some heel lift, indicating a proper fit. However, it shouldn't be excessive.
Toe Room: There should be enough room to comfortably move your toes. Avoid a fit that squeezes your toes, which can cause discomfort over time.
Walking Comfort: Walk around to confirm overall comfort and fit. Pay attention to any pinching, rubbing or discomfort during movement. Be sure to do this on a soft surface to prevent scuffing the bottoms.
