Superdenim and their Marrkt spin off have possibly the worst customer service of any shop in the U.K. I purchased a cabourn shirt form them and on of the press studs fell off within a day of wearing. Luckily my mother is a professional dressmaker and managed to fix it with a minimum of fuss but I sent them an email anyway and still 6 months later I have not had a reply. It is much better to use the "live chat" function on their site.

First, like I mentioned I purchased a pair of Grasmere boot. I had Shoe Healer put on micro soles. Rich and the Michelle are a pleasure to deal with - as you all know. I never had the 4497 last before and when I tried them on the were quite tight across the instep. So much so that I put them up for sale on eBay. There were no takers. So I said the heck with it - I used a heavy pair of wool socks and did a 4 mile hike in 5 inches of fresh snow. Then I shoveled for a couple of hours. The boots broke in great! They are quite light and became extremely comfortable . And the leather is near impervious to water and snow (though there is a coat of Filson boot oil on them). The micro sole worked great in snow - better than my Dainite soles and they don’t track in snow like lug soles. I am so glad that no one bought them when I had them up for bid. A superior boot! I think we will be friends for a long time....

BTW - I have a pair of Trickers Burtons, Expresso color, UK9 double leather soles with box and bags with less that 30 wears. If any one is interested.

Hi seer,

similar experience here... I received my Stow boots on a double leather sole on friday. First impression was great (I have quite low feet). Put them on to walk around in the house for a short time. After about 15 minutes they felt very narrow in the heels, and I thought they might give me serious blisters.

So this morning I put them on and went to the grocery store, after that had a coffee at my local Star****, all in all maybe 2 hours on my feet.

What can I say? They really softened up and now I'm ready to take them out to the bar tonight.

Very good boots.

Yes, I was surprise how well and easily they broke in! And don't let any one throw up on your new boots! ;  )

In Alden Hampton last I wear US 10
In Barrie last boot i wear a US 9 1/2
In most tennis shoes (Nike, Asics, etc) i wear a US 10 1/2

If I'm getting a shoe built on the Country 4444 last I should go with a UK 8 1/2 or UK 9?

Any input would be helpful just want to solidify my decision.

Thanks for the help in advanced guys much appreciated.

I'm a Barrie last US10 and the UK9 works good for me in the 5 fitting. The UK 8 1/2 should be good for you, though I could have gone to a UK 9 1/2 - I have wide feet.  

Hi

Does anyone know that whether the trickers for presents boots are 4444 or 3397?
