Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

My guess is the leather is from Weinheimer.

The grain pattern and colour looks a bit different

Hi all, does anyone know what last these made for End Low Logger boots are on?

Trickers logger boots. New. Boxed. Size 10. | eBay

Trickers logger boots. UK size 10. Special order from end clothing.

It seems that they could be 4444 or 4497... I'm hoping the former

Logger boots are normally made on the 4444 last. There’s always a risk that they could be a special make up on a different last but normally it would be the 4444.

They’re a nice boot to wear, as they’re black patina isn’t an issue so they will generally look like this indefinitely. I rarely wear as black doesn’t really fit into what I’d generally choose and I’ve a gazillion other pairs vying for attention!

I’d not throw them under the bus but I’d not put them forwards over kudu etc.

One more for you. Do you by any chance own any Woodstocks in Kudu? I thought the Caramel colourway would be a nice addition for casual, semi-formal wear.

Just noticed a guy carrying boots at the train station and as he asked me if I knew the area, I mentioned about his boots and darn me they were indeed Trickers. He said he bought them in 2004 for £70 and he’s still got them (recently resoled). First Trickers in the wild I’ve seen, had a good chat too. Certainly made my day.

So quick question : What is this MC leather I keep seeing? Is it Museum Calf, a leather with a marbled effect? How does it hold up compared to some of the other popular choices on here?

For some time Tricker’s has said MC leather is “motorcycle” leather. It’s a thicker tough pull up leather totally different than museum calf. There’s also evidence it stands for Manchester cowhide.

Ha awesome information, thanks. I just found a pair of Derbys in that leather. Was tossing up whether I wanted that or Kudu ones. What do the Vox Populi say then?

This vox says Kudu.

I have the Woodstock in Caramel, sign and reverse suede Kudu.
It does suit the shape.
MC does stand for Manchester Cowhide, if you google it it’s a thicker pull up leather as our Devine leader @zippyh identified. I have that on boots and shoes and it’s a great leather. I love kudu but MC is very underrated. Very easy to maintain and soft and comfortable from the start.

Here my black Stow in MC. Great leather as Crafty pointed out.

Nice leather but it comes from shady animals. Manchester cows are known to support ****** football clubs, stay out late drinking in pubs and spitting their cud wherever they damn well please. But all that rebellion makes for a supple hide in the end, perfect for boots

Liking the leather laced Leo look!

So all this talk of leathers got me thinking about other British boot makers. Crockett and Jones scotch grain leathers for example. Or is it blasphemy to even mention them in this forum? Mostly, I'm curious to know what sets them apart in their own unique way. Also, I do have a vested interest because they have a Chelsea boot that I quite like. That aside, it seems like generally British shoe makers have a decent reputation for products with longevity.
