"Gators (Who still wears them?)"


  

          

My dude at work's uncle passed, had about 40 pairs of old school Clarks and gators in the closet. Some were too colorful to take, but he ended up 'inheriting' about 15 pairs. The vintage Clarks were hardbody even if they were a little crude looking, and some of the David Edens he got were going for 1100 - 1300 dollars online, on sites such as www.alligatorworld.com (which also feature some fabulous gator air forces like those seen here - http://upscalemenswear.com/fennix-3240-hornback-vintage-royal-rugged-calf-royal-p-18342.html?zenid=f9218ba99e3594df03bf712b114575d2&cPath=45_4_10)

My take was that most of these are not worn in the North too often, but he tells me not only does he plan on wearing them often but that there are plenty of people in NYC and NJ wearing them. I do not believe that 20 and 30 somethings wear these, but I may be wrong.

I don't know a single person that wore gators (that I can recall). Yeah, I'm in the northeast.

I'm sure there are more boutique brands that cost more than that, but generally really good mens' shoes can be had for $200-$600 if one shops around and finds sales. I'm thinking of full-grain leather shoes, however. I have no clue how "exotic" materials affect the cost.

The only $1k shoes I'd buy would be something custom made, and I had money to burn.

Shit is crazy. I could buy all of the Allen Edmonds and Aldens I'd need for the next 10 years for $3k.


Dude should sell them jawns. Every non-leather pair would be up on ebay so fast if I had them, lol.

for the ones that were too colorful to fuck with, but he was like 'nah if I sold them I would give the money to my aunt anyway'

Dude is from NJ I doubt he even fucks with gators like that, but he's thinking damn I'm getting some expensive shoes for free, let me just find a way to make it work

John Lobb and Edward Green shoes to over a G. I top out at $600 shoes, and I've never paid full retail for those.
