Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread - Page 174

~$500 USD? I might have to go with the Loake Chesters for now....

try retricker on ebay (trickers' factory shop), there are often good deals on seconds.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. They're on the 4444 last, fitting 5. I should have mentioned originally that I ordered them after seeing rkusmant's gorgeous pair..of boots:) Richard was a huge help with answering all my questions and making suggestions.

MSaint, I really love that blue shell on the Stows you posted.

Thanks Mothball! It's quasi impossible to picture them properly as they have so many shades from deep petrol black to navy blue...

You can also try Sierra Trading Post. A small selection, but they've got a style similar to the Bourton that you can get with a 35% off coupon for about $300.

Leather Soul x Trickers Saddle Shoes

I love those.

Hi Guys, I know the leather buyer at Tricker's very well, and he tells me that all of their Cordovan is sourced from Comipel in Italy.

Just for interest, their Waxy cavalier Letahers are sourced from Horween, in the colours Lollipop, Black, Wheat and Parisian Blue.

Thank you Richard for this inside informations!

They are absolutely fantastic mothball.

The colour is liked the rare and sought after Alden Ravello with a touch of red!!!

Well done and congratulations!

Nice turnaround on the boots I took up to Doncaster last weekend, with a Ridgeway sole fitted to the old Tricker's navvy  boots (they reckoned at least 50 years old in the shop...):

 

 

Definitely my preferred poor weather sole, and the first pair of Tricker's I've had fitted out with one:

 

 

Richard - thanks for getting the job done so well considering the state and age of the boots...those brogue boots are still too tight though, so I think I'm going to have to let them go...

Richard,

 

How long does it take for an MTO from Tricker's like the Stow in teak cordovan?

Thanks

Hello, Trickers afficionados. As a newcomer to this thread, I feel a bit like an interloper, but I have a problem some of you may be able to advise me on.

I just today received a new pair of Trickers Epsom brogues with Dainite soles that I ordered 7 weeks ago. They seem to fit well in length and width, but I get a bit more heel slippage than I'd really like. I HATE the idea of returning them, as I'll end up paying around £50 (or more) in shipping costs by the time I get a replacement pair, which even then might not be better. They don't slip off or anything; it's just that I'm afraid that if the shoes loosen up as I wear them in that the problem might get worse.

I'm considering a pad on the tongue of the shoe. Any thoughts from the experts?

I live in a very rural small town in Colorado in the US. This is my first pair of Trickers, although not my only pair of English shoes, but it has been quite a process getting educated.

Thanks!

@ Mothball,

That teak shell is beautiful! Great choice!

Thank you Sir.

The factory always quote me 10-12 working weeks delivery on single MTO. I do often have them a little sooner, but with Summer Vacations on the horizon, production will stop for two weeks, which may or may not extend the making time. I am also limited to the numbert of Single MTO I can place each month, and demand is high. This again may extend making times a little.

The factory never offer a guarantee on delivery times.

Richard.
