Snakeskin Heels: Real Snakeskin and Snake Print Designer Heels
Snakeskin Heels: Real Snakeskin and Snake Print Designer Heels
Snakeskin heels are heeled shoes in real snakeskin, and the phrase is also used for shoes in leather printed with a snake pattern, so the composition line is the only way to tell them apart. In our designer heels edit this season, Amina Muaddi offers real Ayers snakeskin on the Alexa and Anok, while other houses offer embossed and printed leather.
Real snakeskin against snake print
Real skin. The scales are part of the skin, so the pattern changes slightly from scale to scale and the edges of the scales can lift a little with wear. Amina Muaddi lists two new styles as 100% Ayers snakeskin, and two earlier styles in leopard snake as karung snakeskin.
Embossed leather. Calfskin pressed with a scale pattern. It holds the texture without the scale edges.
Printed leather. A flat leather with the pattern printed on. It is the lightest and the easiest to care for.
The same logic applies to croc: the Amina Muaddi printed croc styles are croc-print calfskin. For the house’s full list of materials, see Amina Muaddi materials and care.

How to wear snakeskin heels
A brown snakeskin heel behaves like a textured neutral: it suits camel, cream, black and denim. Keep other textures quiet. A snakeskin mule with a white shirt and wide trousers is the easiest daytime outfit; a slingback with a black slip dress is the evening one. For the house’s browns and coffees, see Amina Muaddi nude heels.
Care
Wipe real snakeskin with a soft dry cloth in the direction of the scales, never against them, and keep it dry. Condition only with a product made for reptile skin. Store in the dust bag, away from heat, which dries the scales.
