Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[SadikP]

Are they physically larger? In my experience kudu tends to be very soft and stretchy and does not fit me as well because of those characteristics. I end up having the quarters fully closed but my foot still not locked in place.

This is exactly how it is for me. My feet do not feel as locked in on the Kudu. I can feel my feet move in the shoe & a small amount of heel slip, had to add some heel pads to the back.

Is there a trickers BST type thing? I have a pair of trickers I'm trying to sell or trade. I ended up getting a half size too small and tried to make it work but just finally gave up. I have em posted on ebay, but figured I'd ask here since I preferably would like to trade for a bourton in size 10.5UK.

Does anyone have experience of sizing loafers in the W2298 last? I’m liking the look of the Olivvia James.

So far I’ve only got boots on the 4497S last and was wondering whether I should size down?
Thanks!

I usually size down for loafers.

Hey guys! I had a sizing problem a while ago that I didn’t understand: I got a pair of Eaton in kudu leather, size 6, and I thought I had found the perfect boot. No break in. Some months later I found a pair of used stows in black leather, but they were so small I couldn’t even put my feet inside… I thought the previous owner had done something weird, I couldn’t explain why. Last week, in the outlet, I got a pair of ox reversed suede stows, size 6. Lovely material, great boots, but again, I don’t have the same sensation I got with my first pair. They feel a bit tight, specially in the toe box, they squeeze a bit, but I don’t know how tight is too tight… what would you do? Trickers told me it could happen since they’re handmade and so on. You think they’ll stretch enough? Should I get send them back and stop thinking about it?

Are you sure the Eatons you have are on the same last (4497) as the Stows? Eatons are sometimes made on 4444 which runs 1/2 size larger than the 4497. If you peel back the sock liner at the heel, they mark the last and size there.

These are the kudu Eaton: https://www.trickers.com/eu/7046/7-polo-kudu

In theory they’re the same last
