Guys, swallow your machoness and look at these shoes. The [shoes were made in Italy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girotti) and designed by Mauri (his signature marque is the alligator head). [Hornback and Tejus Lizard styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glowaconstrictor) with rubber soles and a matching belt. One color - brown. $650 a pair, but you'll know they are worth it when SHE compliments your shoes.

"Alligator heads, which symbolize Mauri, are placed on the lace and vamp, thereby giving it a stylish appearance. It is available in various sizes but in only 1 colour - brown. So, men who want to look well-dressed and graceful, run to the stores for this chic Mauri footwear today!"

**Implications** - The [menswear industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lv-buttersoft-sneaker) has received a drastic makeover in the last few years, with men becoming more and more unabashed about their fashion preferences. Ultimately, this signifies a shift in gender roles that companies would be wise to attend to.
