Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[hc4thehc]

Got these 30 year old Tricker's Veldtschoen boots on Monday... Quickly tried on one of them as I had to leave for work and dropped them of at the cobbler's so no other pics... I do, however, get them back tomorrow... So be patient!..

Hello there

I have just joined this Forum, but have been checking in recently as a 'lurker' to gather all the great information as I looked to buy my first pair of Trickers.

Anyway, they arrived today - these beautiful Stow boots in Lollipop red...










Could you please advise me what cream/polishes to buy to treat these with.

I intend to wear them a lot, especially initially, to get them worn in. What's their resistance to a bit of rain and bad weather? I feel that I have spent this money on a shoe built to last and they should be able to take a bit of 'rough' weather and handle good use. Would you recommend a commando sole to be fitted and how much would I be looking at for this?

Thanks in advance...

damnit, now you got my fiending for some MTO trickers

The Bureau still has the Bourton version in a few sizes. That lolipop cavalier is one of my favorite leathers. I don't do anything to it but hit it with some Saphir reno once in a while.

I like it a bit shadier! (bad light doesn't help here)

Crappy pic from this morning too.

Those are smoking

Did the Red/Black Longwing MTO ever pan out?

if it does, i may be in for that depending on options. love my black scotch grain longwings but would want something maybe a little more rounded. dunno though. been after a pair of red shoes for a while but havent been able to make up my mind on an MTO for myself.

Ok - back from the cobbler's. Sunnovabitch did a great job imo:

Real colour is more like this, though:

Nice find.
I just bought the brown two tone Bowoods.

New Marron Burtons.



My apologies if this has been answered, but what polish should I use with this color? Thanks!

Didn't they come with a tin of cognac Trickers branded Saphir polish?
I seem to recall that's what came with mine.
I used some burgundy polish on my marron Stows since I wanted to enhance the redness.

Thank you! No, they just came with trees.

Of Grasmere and laces.

The original brown laces are in need of replacing, so I dipped into the shoe box and brought out some possibilities.

Leather and gold/tan workboot laces

Original laces and Red Wing waxed laces

I quite like this look

But will likely go with the leather that should look better once the laces have a bit of dirt and wear on them
