Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[Crafty Cumbrian]

....and I was hoping to say "in with the blue" today but DHL charged me 18% duty on top of the taxes and service charges when UK made and sourced shoes/boots to Canada are still duty free as they were under the CETA agreement....so refused delivery until they sort out the paperwork....hopefully : (


...make that Navy blue and they should look like these but on Commando not Vibram.

Be a nice pair mate I think. I’d see if local cobbler can lighten the leather mid to an antique finish, that’s what o would have done with em.

Cross post but these came too. Had green eye lets changed to brass with speed hooks by Paul at Shoe Healer. Top job on these and decided to jazz up the laces too.. have a tan pair for a more sedate look.

on the other hand, the magic of handcrafted shoes means that you never have the same thing every time. the between the two Bourtons, the burgundy seems shorter than the Marron, the shoe trees 9 has difficulty entering it, I don't know if it is related to the commando sole ?

My Trickers Wheat Cavalier with commando soles , runs larger than my Trickers Marron Muflones in danite soles. Both shoes are U.K. 8.5

I'm a bit underwhelmed at the 'lightweight' build of my new suede Bourton's. Tricker's state that: "Our lightweight version sees the removal of the through or midsole". Despite about 15 hours Googling, I can't work out what this means. With the Dainite soles, black welt, black heel stack and grey suede, I'm worried that the shoes look a bit gloomy. Perhaps lacing them with some Christmas Red Ribbon will brighten them up.

I think the soles are a swing and a miss, the whole attraction is the heft!

Yes, Tricker's are supposed to feel as though you have your feet set in heavily weighted concrete blocks. These ain't like that.

Navy MC Bourtons on ugly work carpet. I had to go into the office to boot some computers after a power outage.
First time I've been in the office since March.

Sounds like Stows may have been more appropriate.

More ugly office carpet photo - a cross over between Trickers and the local distributor made with olivvia leather and antique Japanese fabrics.

Has anyone else seen the Ugly Office Carpet Leather, Stow's? They are a good boot, ideal for work purposes. Multicoloured.

Spoiler: Although truthfully…

It was always the summer rain that seemed to affect them more than snow

(Edit: How about just one image from January…)

Such a weird feeling leather, this Olivia deer business. And forget fugly carpets, try on tracksuits for a change....

Does Saphir cream based polish work for this leather, or does it have to be beeswax or something?

Just normal cream is fine mate.
