I have a pair of Python boots my wife bought for me a long time ago, they are too delicate to wear often.
I had Tony Lama lizards, I can't remember who's Elephants ( I had both of these resoled until there wasn't enough left to sew the sole on. They were both outstanding, the elephants were tougher than all get out and good looking too.
I have some sand Shark skin boots (chocolate) now, they are Justins. They seem pretty tough. an old boot guy I shined shoes for told me the only shark boots to buy are tiger shark, but I couldn't find any.
Bottom line, if they feel good and you like them tell everyone else to deal with it.
