Alligator Shoe

These shoes are shaped like an alligator with an almost life-like design. This shoe is primarily made for men and has a similar style to corporate men’s shoes. At first look, the shoe has a shocking appearance with the face, limbs, and tail of an alligator. However, at a closer look, you can see that the designer took extra care in giving details to the shoe.

The textured carvings are very similar to real-life alligator skin. The foot hole is uniquely placed, so the animal shape is not affected. The shoelaces are also positioned perfectly with a matching color to the shoe, camouflaging with the gator. As weird as it might seem, it looks like a comfortable shoe to wear and will appeal to reptile lovers. Several people online have shown their admiration and appreciation for the shoe calling it creative and something they would buy for Halloween, costume parties, or alligator-themed events and conventions.
