isnt it great? im curious if they can get more of the leather, thats remarkable makeup i hadnt seen a camel leather up til this point

Namor. As I get more exposure to brands such as Trickers viberg and others it's amazing what is used, camel moose etc. after I sent out that email I played the camel conversation with wife in my head and concluded it would always just be " leather " if I bought . "Leather " boots would be awesome. Can wait to see mothball's pics with earmuffs

Retricker put some nice shoes out recently

speaking of viberg i dont know why anyone would spend viberg $$$ on a "workboot" when you have awesome alternatives like trickers for hundreds less

I had a viberg and liked the construction but it was too big so I didn't get to really enjoy it. It was a sample so I paid a lot less. I would like to have another one if I find the right one. I haven't tried a Trickers yet but keep watching retrickers to hope a shell on commando shows up. I really like the look of Trickers and have spoke to someone who knows about shoes and he is impressed with Trickers quality and craftsmanship Can't wait to the pics of the recent cipresso make up you all did

I've been searching through this thread and it looks like a lot of people size down from their Barrie size in the 4497 last? The Tricker's website indicates it is more or less TTS. I'm an 11D Brannock, 10.5D Barrie/Viberg 2030, 10UK Tricker's 4444 fitting 5. Should I size up to 10.5UK for the 4497? Thanks

Sounds like me. I have size 10UK boots and shoes in both 4444 and 4497. The 4444 is loose overall and the 4497 is snug in the forefoot. (I have relatively wide forefoot and high arches.) It requires thinner socks and a 10.5UK would work better for a winter boot.

You're supposed to be 9.5UK 4444 last fitting 5 based on your brannock measurements. If 10UK 4444 last is perfect for you, then you definitely need to size up to 10.5UK for 4497 last.

Thank you both! I wouldn't say the 4444 is a perfect fit, it is roomy. I wouldn't be able to size down another half because of the length. Looks like I'll be ordering 10.5UK in the 4497

I like the Viberg look but agree it seems a little high in price, especially when they are using the same leathers as the other few brands in the work boot category.
Just picked up my first pair of Trickers, really like the wider width of this last. Found it very comfortable walking all day.
Although I didn't mind the original brick finish on the sole edge which had the thicker painted effect, decided to sand it off and finish it with a more transparent stain. Turned out okay, thankfully.

First time posting here, I hope this appropriate..
I just wondered whether anyone might be able to help me identify the burgundy boots here - they have an old fashioned trickers label inside
