Men’s Exotic Boots at Kleinschmidt’s
The leather is often what draws you to an exotic boot, but the fit still has to be right. At Kleinschmidt’s, we’ll help you compare the material, finish and feel of a pair before you decide. Our store in Higginsville, Missouri, has been family owned and operated since 1969.
What makes a boot an exotic-leather boot?
Exotic boots use leathers such as ostrich, caiman or python, each with its own texture and care needs. Read the material description for the particular pair. The leather on the foot can differ from the shaft, so check both rather than judging the whole boot by its appearance.
Is an exotic print the same as genuine exotic leather?
No. A print or embossed pattern can give another material the look of an exotic skin. Check the listed leather, not just the pattern or style name. If the description leaves you unsure whether a pair is genuine exotic leather or a print, ask us to confirm before ordering.
How do I choose between different exotic boots?
Compare the leather and finish alongside the toe shape, heel, sole and shaft height. Think about where you’ll wear the boots and how much care you’re comfortable giving them. Price alone does not tell you how a boot will fit or which pair is right for you.
Do exotic boots fit differently?
Fit can vary by brand, style, width and construction. Try boots on with the socks you plan to wear and walk around to check them. Don’t assume that an exotic leather or a square toe will solve a fit problem. If a pair pinches or feels too loose, compare another size, width or style.
How should I care for exotic leather boots?
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific skin and finish. A product suited to one leather may not be right for another. Use cleaners and conditioners only where recommended, and ask before applying polish or a treatment you haven’t used on that pair.
