They’re scotch guarded leather by CF Stead called Repello suede. That said some people treat anyway to be doubly sure. If you google shale suede an American retailer has some on a white Christy sole which kinda confirms my theory re outlet shoes using up leather. They’re stunners.

Well, here they are; my first pair of Tricker’s arrived via the Outlet sale over the weekend. My concern about whether they fit, disappeared as soon as my first foot slid in. After lacing them up, I have to say that they’re almost like a bespoke boot in the way they fit. The heel cup cradles my heel like no other, the width is ideal and the length is perfect. While I commented when I ordered here that these I’m hoping to be the best pair of boots I ever spent 195 quid on, with the quality and fit, these are worth full price and beyond in my eyes. Couldn’t be more happy and I like the color and dual-color scheme of gray and black. Should look very smart with black casual pants.

On Zippy’s advice on sizing, I went ahead and ordered the Shale suede with leather sole during the sale too, which should arrive on Friday. Now that I’ve tried these on, I’m glad I did, and thanks to Zippy for the urging. Now to find a good suede spray protector since I’m often in Seattle visiting my two tech clients, and can’t allow him to be the only person there clad in stylish Stows! ?

appreciate the feedback on the suede! That certainly improves my confidence that I won’t destroy them too quickly!

Ain’t no such thing...every season is boot season!! ??

can’t go wrong with any of the kudu boots. Only one I missed out on was a sign Leo which if I had my time again I’d buy.

True.....I just discovered I already have a pair of cap toes in black (another seniors moment )...but seeing they are not Tricker's they shall remain nameless.

This is a nice touch. Although they really should not need to take a website down to update it.

It's a bit late with the reply, but they don't take the website completely down because it would negatively effect the SEO score and therefore, would be harder to find when doing a web search.

Stepping away from the Country Collection for a few hours with an older (yet still fairly new to me) pair

Does anyone have a picture of the Bourtons in caramel kudu? I've seen pictures of them here on Robinson's Shoes but they appear darker than most other models. I was told this was due to the broguing.

 

[Crafty Cumbrian]

Caramel is very subjective to the light they were pictured in and even the burnishing per batch. See my pic above of the Grasmere. I’ve caramel in Stow and Woodstock. All are slightly lighter or darker..

 

[Crafty Cumbrian]

Top down. Pretty accurate colour pic.

 

[noverbeck]

Absolutely, it seems to be a chameleon of a color. Very nice boots. I wonder if they meant these Bourtons with broguing have more burnishing and would appear darker than your Grasmere picture. I think I still may pick them up, they seem a steal.

You can always play about with burnishing..

my mate got a Stow which was far blonder (for want of a better word) around the toe, which initially he wasn’t keen on, but won’t take em off now!

Great colour with denim.
