True to size (for the UK); others have said they're generous, but I'd disagree, certainly they're slightly tighter than my Grafters workboot, and about as tight as the slimmer Paul Smith.

Beautiful. I'll have to give Shoe Healer a call very soon.


Nah. I did black eyelets and double leather sole but that's pretty much it otherwise. Mine must about 20/24 months old now.

And yes Richard

Thinking about taking the plunge and purchasing some trickers. I have a few questions/ requests.

What is the difference between the bourton and the kenswick?

I will mostly be wearing these with jeans, but also with some casual "work pants", which color would be best? I never wear black, so I figure either acorn,marron, or espresso color.

If buying in the US, where is the best online shop?

Lastly, if anyone could post some pictures of you wearing them, it would awesome.

Thanks, and sorry for the novel.

I have the bourton in antique/acorn

I wear it with jeans a lot, it looks great.

I'd buy from pediwear - they gave me a shoe tree and polish and the price was probably the best you can get online - about 240 pounds

No differences in between Bourton and Keswick, except the available colors. Bourton is available in Marron Antique, Espresso and Acorn, while Keswick is available in C Shade and Black Gorse (if I'm not mistaken).

Marron Antique is the best color imo, but only because I find Acorn too light to be versatile. C Shade is quite nice too.

I'm pretty sure Pediwear would be your best bet...

Also be aware that if you don't have a massive instep, even on the standard 5 width the lacing will need to be fairly tight, as on the picture below from Tom.

Merry Christmas to me from me.
Navy Bourtons from Pediwear. It's a Christmas miracle that they made it here. Pediwear messed up my address and according to the tracking they were going to be returned to sender. The amazingly nice folks at my local post office were able to track them down for me today. In fact the Post Office was freakisly quiet today.
