Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[Reiver]

Ok guys, we've gone on too long without an MTO... It's time for something to look forward to!

I'm proposing a flint kudu suede Eaton without the medallion.

The suede has a lovely brown/grey color:

Our boot would use the above leather but in this model:

Obviously we need to decide all smaller finishes like sole, lining, eyelets etc...

What do you guys think, who's in?!

I’d give it some thought definitely. I’ve been fancying trying some kudu suede and really like the flint colour.

I’d probably prefer a shoe as well but if it’s a boot you want then no worries.

Happy to hear it!

The kudu suede is fantastic. It's extremely soft and the flint color is amazing!

So that makes 3 of us so far. I have yet to contact any retailers about the MTO. Shouldn't be any problem since Cf Stead provides the flint kudu

Yeah, the Minster in suede. With a medallion.

I'd be down for that.

e/ Kudu suede isbeautiful. I got some from Enzo Bonafé and it's just magical. Mine is the Tortora though.

I'm only for an Eaton without the medallion at this point. That's the spec we're talking about for this MTO at least.

Sorry for being thick, I’m new to this, what’s a medallion?

Look at the toe and you see the flower-esque thingy. Not the cap toe, but the brogue on the toe itself.

I'm out then, GL though.

Yes crazy times...hard to believe in such a short time life has basically turned upside globally down for most.
.....and I've just received my Stows, ordered before what feels like another time and place...so definitely a time of mixed emotions.
.....9 US ....8 1/2 UK fit great.

Are you happy with them? Welt looks good as a contrast.

At least you'll look good wandering the post apocalypse wasteland.

Quite the substantial build...and with so many boots already in all black or brown it was the color combination I had in mind.....
now having said that, and now that I know 8 1/2 is my size in the Tricker's, I'm already looking at a Burford Plain Derby in Espresso.
