The 5 Best Snakeskin Boots to Slither Your Way Through the Season! (2023)

The Best Snakeskin Boots (2021)

When it comes to so-called “exotic” fabrics for shoes, I can’t blame you if your mind naturally gravitates toward alligator or crocodile.

These are, after all, the standard bearers.

Immediately recognizable and featuring large, bold pebbling, crocodile and alligator skins make a fashion statement without even trying.

But what about snakeskin?

Compared to its larger reptilian cousins, snakeskin has 2 clear advantages.

First, snakeskin is cheaper.

While this may be rightfully the case given the relative scarcity of snakeskin versus that of alligator or crocodile skin, there’s no bad time to save some extra money – especially given the current global environment.

Second, snakeskin has smaller pebbling.

To me, this has several benefits. First, this makes the overall pattern of the shoe slightly more subtle. And second, it means that snakeskin boots better take on different dyes, coloring, and patterning.

Unlike some shoes on this list, what I like most about these snakeskin cowboy boots from Dan Post is how tastefully they cast the snakeskin as the supporting actor in these award-worthy boots.

Featuring a full-grain leather upper with some thoughtfully-appointed snakeskin designs around the base, these cowboy boots integrate the snakeskin look in a subtle yet stylish manner!
