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.
Head Cut American Alligator
Head cut alligator reveals an intricate arrangement of scales, irregular contours, and distinctive markings that give the hide its remarkable character. Variations in scale size and shape create a richly detailed surface, with a pattern unique to each individual selection. Carefully positioned within the design, these distinctive features bring exceptional texture and individuality to the finished pair.

Care
Genuine American alligator is naturally durable. With a little care, your boots will keep their shine and character for years.
Clean
Remove dust and dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
Always brush in the direction of the scales. Brushing against them can lift the scale edges and dull the finish.
For dirt that won't brush off, wipe gently with a lightly dampened cloth, then let the boots air dry at room temperature.
Never use heat, like a hair dryer or heater, to speed up drying. Heat can dry out and crack the scales.
Condition
Every few months, depending on how often you wear them, apply a conditioner made for exotic or reptile leather.
Use a small amount on a soft cloth and work it in along the direction of the scales. Buff away any excess.
Test on a small, hidden area first. Some products can darken the color.
In-stock items will be shipped promptly, typically within three business days from the moment you place your order.

How the Zane fits
True to size
Width guide
Our men's boots come in two widths, D and EE.
D, average width: Order your usual size.
EE, wide: Order your usual size in EE. It's wider, not longer.
Narrow feet: We recommend ordering a half size down.
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.

Absolutely love these boots!
Absolutely love these boots! Drawn to black boots and always wanted a pair of alligator boots. The ZANE did not disappoint! Beyond a great looking boot, they are comfortable right out of the box. Only question now is “what will be my next pair of Vaccari’s?”

Zane American alligator boots!
These boots are amazing! This was the 3rd purchase Ive made with Vaccari and let me tell you their quality and craftsmanship is 2nd to none. I've took my Vaccari boots to my local cobbler with over 40yrs in the boot industry and he himself was very impressed on the quality! So don't hesitate to buy from Vaccari you won't be disappointed!

I’ll be buying more from Vaccari
I bought the boots because for the price you couldn’t beat it! Every other company eats 1000+. They are very comfortable and the look is great. Craftmanship was on point and I’ve gotten more compliments in 2 days than other pairs of my exotics.

Distinctive Character
The head cut reveals a complex arrangement of smaller scales, irregular contours, and natural transitions that distinguish it from the more uniform belly. Its intricate surface creates a richly detailed pattern with remarkable visual character.
Naturally One of a Kind
The arrangement of scales across the head varies from one alligator to another, creating a distinctive pattern unique to each hide. These natural differences become part of the finished design, giving every pair an individual expression.
From the first sketch to the final stitch, each pair goes through a series of deliberate hands and skilled processes.

I am very happy with the purchase I made. I did add a black dye to the edges of the sole to match the black alligator. Very easy to do it yourself.

Loving them so far!
Haven't had the boots for long but, I'm loving them! The pictures made them look more knobby than they do in real life. I was hoping they'd be a bit more knobby because I thought it made them look way more unique, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. Though, it's to be expected as not all gators are equal. Overall though they fit good, they feel good, just gotta get used to how slick they can be on way more terrain than most other shoe soles. I'd honestly buy another pair of their boots based on my limited experience. Guess we'll see how they hold up after a year or two.

This company not only makes
This company not only makes a quality product but their customer service is the best I have experienced in a LONG time. They answered an email ON Christmas about me ordering incorrectly and got my replacement boots shipped out the same day the originals got back to them! 10/10 would recommend and would purchase from again.

Have sent two emails, two different ways. The first was 4 days ago, the second 2 days ago. No response from either.
Called the only ph# found, which was on their Facebook page, today. No answer. No voice-mail.
Sent another email today.
Seem like good boots, also, seem hard folks to contact.
