    And I suppose shipping costs would make it not really viable to send them to us..... :-(

    A trusted Cobbler can remove the Brass Eyelets and fit Dark Brown ones for you :-)

    The Grasmere in Kudu is stunning......I have some here in all three colours if you might like a pair and for what it is worth, 'Sign', a deep dark Burgundy is my favourite colour ;-)

    Always the only way to be sure how well a shoe fits is to try them on, but if it might help I can offer you some general information. Tricker's themselves consider Half a Size difference between UK and US Sizes, so a regular fitting and true to size US8D, I would consider equivalent true to size...

    Most welcome Sir :-)

    You certainly can, but on the Uppers, I prefer a 'Cream', to help nourish and moisturise the leather. Wax of course for a higher shine and perhaps better waterproofing properties ?

    Use a good quality Neutral (no colour) cream and hard Neutral Wax for the top of the Welt and the Sole Edge. If you use a darker polish they will go darker over time, and the more you apply, the darker they will likely go. Richard.

    I have a re-run of these in production in 'Coffee Burnished' Calf.........stunning :-)

    It looks like the Longwing's are built on 81 Last which in my experience most will find more or less true to size. If....they are a US Size (you would need to check that) then US 10 1/2 or 11 in that shoe. Tricker's consider Half a Size difference between UK and US Sizes, so a regular fitting...

    I always have 40 or 50 pairs of something 'different', usually remnants of our MTO programme with Tricker's. Can't promise to give them away, but can always look at a deal for something one off. Let me know what you might be looking for, including size and familiarity with fitting and I'll see...

    13501 eh ? I am told that this should fit similar to 4487s, would you concur ?

    We're waiting for the pictures of the Insole then !! :-))

    I work with many many customers in my store, and I always tell them the same. Consider a shoe 'snug' fititng new from the box, and if it is only snug and not tight, then 5 or 6 times wear maximum should be enough for a snug fitting shoe to give and become comfortable for a full days wear...

    If you take an Insole that works well under the forefoot, a friendly cobbler (if you have one local) could easily scour most of the thickness away under the Heel for you in seconds ;-)

    You might try a removable Insole of varying thickness in those my friend, which will take some of the volume out making the creases a little less ?

    In my experience, most wearers including myself will find 4497s (Stow Last) more generous in Width and Volume than W2298. Wether any will find it different enough to necessitate a size change can only be found by trying them on. Remember too that these very high quality shoes can feel snug in...

    In 'Type' above the hand written 'Last Number', is the word 'Fitting'. It is usually the Width Fitting of the shoe written here on boxes that are used for 'regular' stock. :-)

    You know I had some Logger Boots MTO on W2298 Last one time, and although we are all different with different size, shape and volume requirements, I find W2298 closer fitting than 4497s in Width and Volume. Remember having all these Lasts in stock, I can try them on and make reasonable...

    I have over 300 pairs of Tricker's here in stock ZippyH and not one box with the Last Number written on it........am I missing something? All of a sudden I feel deprived :-)
