Both daring and dashing, striking natural detailing of belly-cut Nile crocodile reaches new depths of character in The Cooper’s Black Cherry finish. Pure cowboy with an elegant edge, as you put The Cooper through its paces, its dark finish will wear away to reveal deep cherry undertones. What’s more, its brushoff cowhide shaft and unique thread and cording pattern deliver complexity and character that’s a worthy complement to the vamp and shaft.

Crocodile
The boot material we reach for to make our very finest boots — few hides approach the elegance and refinement of exotic Nile crocodile. Smooth and durable, its handsome scales glint with eye-catching shine and one of a kind character. Treat them well, and they’ll treat you well for a lifetime, as true heirloom pieces.
Store Your Boots
- Store your boots in a dry and dark place.
- Alternate boot-wearing days to let boots properly dry out.
- Ideally, store with tissue, newspaper, or a cedar shoe tree that does not stretch the leather.
These methods above will help minimize moisture and extend the life of your boots.
How To Clean
- Take a damp (not wet) micro-care cloth and wipe off any dirt and residue as needed. Dry and buff leather with a horsehair brush after.
Condition
Condition every month using our Basics Care Kit or Bickmore Exotic conditioner.
Polish & Shine
- Polishing will leave the boots with a glossy finish. We suggest avoiding colored polishes since they can alter the color of your boots.
- After your boots have dried, apply a small amount of wax-based polish to all the areas you wish to shine.
- Let the polish dry and then brush off the boot with a soft cloth.
- Buff with a horsehair brush to the desired level of shine.
For polish, we suggest the included polish in our Basics Care Kit.
- Lincoln wax polish (neutral) and Allen Edmonds spray shine are also great options.
