Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[rob80bboots]

My second pair of Trickers have arrived. I went for a Burford in Espresso and dainite sole. The uppers are delightfully supple, .......

Have the Espresso on a double leather sole but was fortunate to grab a black pair on Dainite during the last
Tricker's sale.
Now with matching laces.

Was an 8.5 left for a while but I can size up half but not really down. I think they’d look superb on double leather which was my original plan..

Also happier in a 9 but figured with the Kudu they'd be ok. Yep and with a double leather they'd be quite beautiful.?

Been thinking about picking up a pair of long wings....Anyone have any thoughts about this pair?

And on that note, I'd love to hear from people about how they sized the 81 Last. I'm one of those odd-footed folks who take +0.2 in the 2298 (7.5 in 4444, 8.0 in 4497, 8,5 in 2298) & worry that the 81 might be too narrow in the toe in an 8

I’ve never had any for the reason you describe. I can wear same size in 2298, 4497s and half down for 4444. Probably be ok as possibly looks narrower than it is.

81 and 2298 feel about the same to me.

I go with 9 on 4497, the 9 on 2298 was short, but 9.5 much too roomy.
I wear on 5402 9.5 but also a 10 for cordovan and my latest kudu. Having 5 Ethan on 5402 already, my absolutely favorite flat toe monkey boot.
Now I’m trying a 8.5 on 4444 for my first Bourtons.

Here with my Acorn Ethan from Japan on JR and reverse peanut kudu changed from Morflex Vibram to double leather and welt with white stitching at Tricker’s factory.

Look familiar....?

As I’m i big fan of Acorn Antique I had to grab those Scott as I had the chance to do. Built on 2298 last with a flex construction which is a bit too flexy for me. Wanted an additional leather sole on them but got a leather half sole plus plate instead ?

Hi Spud, I didn't really like the Fultons and returned them - too pointy which for me takes them away from the classic Tricker's shape.

Yeah that kills it for me also, then. If I want C&J style I go to them. As you mentioned I love Trickers for their own distinctive shape. I wasn't fully convinced by this one, so your reply kind of helped confirm that. ;-)

 

[FondDeJante]

I'm thinking about whether to get the grey shrunken grain Bourtons from the outlet sale. I remember that @Munky and @Phoenician also expressed an interest - did you guys (or anyone else) go for them?

 

[zippyh]

Spud, I know they’re probably 3X or more expensive, but if you want long wings you should probably just go with Alden cordovan.
