A few Trickers Belgrave seconds from their factory shop for 175 quid. I made too many stupid purchases lately and these are my size

The Belgraves are my favourites from Trickers, elegant, U throat. I bought a pair of purple derby from SF and was asked by some young guys if they are Dr. Marten. Not an elegant last indeed.

I've been watching those. They've been for sale forever. That seller has been trying to get $300 for at least 6 months. I don't think the sizing is right either. They are marked size 43.

I'm not sure who makes them. I can't think of any Italian companies that work in shell cordovan.

I don't know who makes them, but there are Italian companies that work with shell. Pretty sure Santoni does, for example.

Pretty sure 43 is a 10, but I did notice that the width is 3.75, which seems fairly narrow for a 10.

A 43 is a US10. They're not Lattanzi, if that's what you're thinking - the nail pattern, open-channel stitching and the size marking is in the wrong place.

Generally, Bontoni makes the handwritten models
