Hello, can anybody comment on these? They look like Tricker's to me, but don't seem to have the bellows tongue and lack the reinforcement along the Achilles tendon. Thanks

I'm still very noob but it may seem the boots in your pics are not trickers. maybe alfred sargent dumfries or similar?

Well, they do have the quintessential Tricker's medallion

I have seen another maker (low end) that copies the Trickers medallion. Those boots don't appear to have a leather heel stack either.

Also my Stow's have a Trickers label on the inside of the tongue which isn't visible on these.

it could be a model from the ‘corniche range’ which Tricker’s stopped producing more than a decade ago. These were slightly lower quality than the town and county ranges and not using a leather heel stack was fairly typical. It could also be from another manufacturer who has used the same medallion. Can you provide a shot of the writing inside the boot?

Unfortunately there's no photo of the inside, but you can see they lack the fabric label on the tongue and it seems there's some metallic printed letters instead, which is unlike the handwritten marking on all my Tricker's.

Shoes from the Trickers Corniche range did have printing inside them rather than the handwritten information that is normal. However I would not expect it to be on the tongue.
My guess is that these are not Tricker’s but I can’t be 100% without seeing more of the interior of the boot.

It looks like C shade Gorse leather but I believe Alfred Sargent used to offer that too years ago. It also looks like they’ve been resoled and heeled by a competent cobbler. But without seeing the inside I can’t be sure whether they’re Trickers or not.

Does anyone have any leads on where I can find a pair of Ethan Monkey Boots in brownish in 10.5UK? Happy for them to be used or new. I’ve got a pair in Navy that I love but looking for something more versatile. Let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks gents.
