Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

It would be ideal to order both I guess, but return postage to Spain would suck if I preferred the Tricker's. Hmmm. Thanks for the intel sir.

Maybe just order the Tricker's from STP and if you like 'em, you're done.

Apologies for the cross post from the Carmina thread, but I was hoping someone could help me make a decision...
The Tricker's in the US retail for $675 but are available at around half that. The Carmina on the other hand retail for $367 and are available shipped (not inc. import taxes & fees) for $276. Is there a big difference in quality that should make me choose Tricker's over Carmina?

Cheers.

I'd try out the trickers first. Break-in might take a few wears more compared to carmina, but they get amazingly comfortable after that.

Thanks for the insight guys.Tricker's are on their way. I'll post some pics when they get here.

Does kinda suck that STP charges tax for NY. I thought they were based in the Wild West? Are they a massive corp. or something?

they got bought out by TJX (the marshalls/tjmax group) a few years back, so they started charging taxes everywhere.

Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase an MTO pair of boots through Richard at Shoehealer. I haven't heard back from him yet regarding pricing, but what does a pair of MTO shell boots generally run these days? Thanks!

You should look into posting in the Tricker's GMTO thread...depending on what your looking at, of course. A group buy would bring the cost down.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for. Depending on the price Richard quotes for a single MTO, I may be looking at that option instead.

it's pricey for a single MTO. I've already inquired. I believe it was 412 gbp (group) vs 631 gbp (single) in cordovan.

I tried to get a black shell plain toe boot with antique welt/dainite. no takers though.

I'm looking to order a pair of navy shell boots - either the Allan model, or something like the parade boot (which as far as I can tell is the makeup previously offered by Superdenim).

Please post a pic as an example. I'd be interested in navy shell boot....
