Quoting my own post but rolled the dice for UK13 Stows in Marron Antique on Dainite from The Shoe Healer. Toes crossed the gamble pays off.
Going up to UK13 / 4497S as UK12 / 4444 is a bit too short in length and a touch less in width.
Trickers Outlet not very exciting for UK13...
Will touch base once they are in.

Sizing advice pls as looking to take advantage of Black Friday Sales.

Only pair of Trickers I have are Caramel Kudu Bourtons in UK12 / 4444 last. After wearing them for about 5 wears total I have come to realise that the 4th & pinkie toe are pressed to the toebox wall and by the end of the day are uncomfortable. The big toe is also pressing against the toebox wall but no issue on the big toe at the end of the day.

Am considering a pair of Stows on 4497 last and wondering if I should size up to UK13 to accommodate for longer length while the width might be a smidge more than the UK12/4444 Bourtons which are advised as half size down from Stows.

What does the experienced folks think of going up to UK13 for the Stows ? Worth a try ?

I am considering between Acorn Antique and Marron Antique leaning towards the Marron Antique.

Other sizes/makes I have/wear are :
Alden TB - US13E (calf, shell) / US13D (CXL, Suede)
Viberg 2030/1035 last - Viberg 13
Grant Stone Leo last - US13E
Allen Edmonds 1757 (Higgins Mill) - US13EEE (because not available in US13E)

Excellent! Thanks to Mr_Spud for the nudge. Wouldn't know there was any blue in the leather at all.

It gets worse!

Second lace snapped in two places! Was sliced by eyelets.

This is one Tricker's purchase laced with disappointment.

Nice looking boots! Now I regret not buying. Maybe write to them about the laces ans they will replace them for free?

As an aside I’d get 120 cm laces as you will
find the originals wouldn’t have been long enough anyway. I factor that in with nine hole variants. Changed my Marron to boot lace in yellow so thought I’d chip in.

My Black Friday Trickers outlet purchase arrived this morning:
View attachment 1708678

Sign and Polo kudu, both are stunning ? but why are Trickers selling these in the outlet??

Maybe they only have limited quantities but if so, why not release them Nike style as Quickstrikes and create some excitement about the brand?
The Sign Toecap Shoes are excellent, after some in size 9.

I bought these boots as well, and my laces also exploded right away. I wrote to Trickers, and they sent me replacement laces immediately, which work just fine. I assume it was a bad batch.
