- SKU: ANDERSON 13584-F BURGUNDY
Note on fit: the Anderson runs generously. If you're between sizes, order a half size down for the cleanest fit.
Burgundy turns the Anderson's already-bold construction into something closer to a signature piece. Genuine crocodile - full scale, full texture, none of it printed - wraps the entire plain-toe blucher, finished with crocodile-wrapped tassels for a detail most exotic-leather shoes leave out. In this deep oxblood tone, the natural crocodile pattern reads even more dimensional, catching light differently across every scale.
The comfort engineering matches the ambition of the exterior. Soft Italian calfskin lines the shoe's interior, and an injected memory foam insole cushions every step, so a shoe built to be seen doesn't sacrifice a shoe built to be worn. Mezlan's artisans handmake every pair in Spain, a process that respects the individuality of each hide rather than forcing uniformity.
Burgundy crocodile is the choice for events and evenings where black or brown would feel safe. It's a shoe that assumes the room is already paying attention.
FAQs
Q: Is the Mezlan Anderson made from real crocodile?
A: Yes. The Anderson uses genuine crocodile leather across the entire upper, including crocodile-wrapped tassels, not an embossed or printed imitation.
Q: Does the burgundy Mezlan Anderson run true to size?
A: No. Mezlan notes that the Anderson runs generously, and recommends ordering a half size smaller than your usual size for the best fit.
Q: Is the Mezlan Anderson handmade?
A: Yes. Like all Mezlan exotic footwear, the Anderson is handmade in Spain by artisans experienced in working genuine crocodile skins.
Q: What occasions suit a burgundy crocodile lace-up like the Anderson?
A: Burgundy crocodile is best suited to special occasions and evening events - weddings, galas, and social settings - where a bolder statement than traditional black or brown is welcome.
Q: Why does genuine crocodile leather cost more than embossed leather?
A: Genuine crocodile comes from regulated, CITES-certified sourcing and requires specialized tanning to preserve the natural scale pattern, unlike embossed leather, which stamps a crocodile-like texture onto standard leather at a fraction of the cost.
Q: Is every Mezlan Anderson pair unique?
A: Yes. Because each crocodile hide has its own natural scale pattern, no two pairs of the Anderson are perfectly identical in texture.
