FAQs

How do I care for genuine alligator shoes?

Start with a soft brush to remove surface dirt. Use a specialty exotic leather conditioner about once a month. Don’t let them get soaked in rain—if they do, let them air-dry naturally. Store with shoe trees to keep their shape (cedar’s best).

What about sizing? I’m between sizes.

Belvedere runs true to size, but if you’re between sizes or have a wider foot, size up for the best fit and comfort. Reach out to us anytime—we’ll help you find your match.

Are these shoes formal only, or can I dress them down?

The Nino shines with suits—no doubt. But its clean lines and deep black shade work with upscale denim or tailored trousers, too. It’s as versatile as you need it to be.

How durable is alligator leather compared to calfskin?

Alligator is naturally tough yet flexible. With proper care, these shoes outlast most standard leather pairs and develop a unique character over time.

Is there a break-in period?

Expect a slight break-in as with any high-end leather shoe. The fit gets better—yes, actually better—the more you wear them. Most say it feels natural after 3–4 outings.

Care & Maintenance:

• Always clean after wear—soft damp cloth preferred
• Store away from direct sunlight or heat sources
• Use shoe trees to prevent creasing
• Apply conditioner periodically for shine and softness
• Avoid wearing in wet weather situations

Sizing & Fit:

Runs true to standard U.S. men’s sizing. If you’re between sizes, size up. Fits most foot widths comfortably thanks to the shape-conforming leather. For best results, consult our size chart, especially if you tend to wear thicker socks or custom insoles.
