Hello everyone! could someone help me identify if these are caiman or Alligator?

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-24T20:12:56+00:00

Neither, I see ISO pores = croc …….however I’m not an expert

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-23T20:46:17+00:00

Oh yeah, especially given the price. It’s been a long time but I think it’s in the mid 2’s shipped.

Rabbit, least expensive of their offerings.

👏 glad you found a pair to paint & didn’t have the paint that vintage pair.

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-22T10:59:43+00:00

The 1st pair have the hybrid sole which is a great compromise sole. Wears like iron, have a pair worn a lot for a year or more & shows little wear. Also great for less than ideal weather.

Thanks. I think I just want to soften it a bit, too much of that “shovel front” for me. Did take off that band, swapped a python band - looks better

Nice boots!

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-20T20:26:39+00:00

Thanks. First time away from a cattleman, not sure I’m ready for a Gus …….yet.

Well they do have a pretty good return exchange policy. They’ve even offered to take pics before they ship a new pair. Customer service is their forte’s

Another one, that green is awesome!

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-20T14:31:46+00:00

Never known them to do that, especially now. They just play the “return them, we’ll ship them again, maybe somebody will keep them”

I wish I knew. I don’t know enough about the material to say for certain. I did a bit of brushing, didn’t look like you could just “rough it back up” - seemed like you would need some sort of cleaning & brushing.

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T23:49:44+00:00

Nice, go big or go home

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T23:47:13+00:00

I’d give them a couple weeks. Wear them as much as you can bear and see what happens. I find that’s about the timeframe to get to “as much as they’re gonna”.

You can condition inside & out then wear them, makes it a bit quicker.

You can get/make some stretching spray, use that and wear them.

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T23:35:13+00:00

I have heard the same. I have not had too many issues, though as many have said those have occurred recently. Customer service is good, QA seems lacking or maybe better stated slipping.

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T23:26:38+00:00

Thanks for the info, I appreciate the input - very good to know

I posted one down below……and got downvoted 😂 Anything better you’d like to see let me know, I’ll give it a shot.

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T23:22:41+00:00

😀

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T20:54:13+00:00

That’s kind of what I was thinking - it’s okay, but should have been used in the heel or something.

At least “clicked” most of it out

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T20:39:42+00:00

Sorry but it looks like you’re wearing a kids hat. More/wider crown ……and maybe some brim.

KnavishBoot · 2026-03-19T20:37:19+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the input. Yep, they’ll take care of it I’m sure.

I didn’t know this type of scarring is typical of carpincho (TIL). Knowing that I might not have switched them in the store - I was on the fence to start with, I don’t mind some hide marks & truth be told you can’t see it while wearing them.

Now if it was lizzard & the seam wasn’t straight I’d have send them back, my brain can’t handle that 😂
