Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[grizzlygiant]

Hey Guys,

I'm cooking up some make ups for FW18 and I figured I'd check in with you folk to see what styles or leathers you would like to see. In terms of new leathers there are some hatch grains, deer leather, and museum calf but otherwise all leathers you've seen before are typically available.

I was contemplating a monkey boot on commando sole, a burford on a vibram sole (not white), as well as trying to do a boot on a lug 100 sole rather than the commando sole. Like below but a bit chunkier. Let me know what you gents think.

Mmmm... Deer leather.
What about a brown deer leather Eaton with a dainite sole?

That would be very appealing.

Or a captoe!

Loggers! You already sell Loggers and I love them. Do more, as this style is greatly overlooked IMO. I was reminded by Zippyh's recent post how good they look. I much prefer them on the 4497 last as opposed to the 4444 as they are often built. Here are my two fave loggers...

These were originally by Grahame Fowler and in brown Zug. This is different from the current Zug which is more burgundy in hue and, I think, from an English tannery that no longer exists. Fantastic boot, look at that heel counter and I like the fact is a high leg logger. Would pay out some propper money to get hold of a pair of these.

More recently from End. A darker make up than Zippyh's. Great boot and, again, would lover to get my hands on either of these boots

So, make either of the above and you have an instant sale in size 9. Often considered getting the MTO'd. Might still

Yes it would. Got most all boot bases covered, but I don't have an Eaton. I'm a natural welt & dainite sole kind of guy. Gold or silver eyelets too; I like the contrast. Edited to add, I'm still thinking I need something in burgundy too.

 

[zippyh]

Yeah a dark waxy logger on 4497 push the right buttons for me.

How about a longwing deer golosh boot/shoe on the 2298 last?

Look a bit like this?

Lovely in deer that!

 

[Crafty Cumbrian]

That’d suite deer too.

Not with orange soles though!

Black dainite soles, please.

Yes, the longwing 2298 last boot, Galosh I think it's called, is underused.

Pulling the conversation back to loggers for moment. I very nearly pushed the button on an MTO a few years back. Was trying to get a GMTO going but Tricker's moved the goal posts moving to a minimum order of 12 rather than the previous 6. Anyway it did not happen. I made up the following artwork for discussion with Trickers...

Inspired by the Grahame Fowler loggers I wanted a proper Zug boot (not just pebble grain). This was to replace my C&J Snowdons (which are probably a superior foul weather boot due to the veldt welt). I would not have a contrasting heel counter if doing this now but am still up for this boot. And the factory said they could still do a veldt welt (they have not done those since Skiptons). A zug, veldt logger would be the ultimate tuff outdoor boot. C'mon, you know you want a pair. Anyone for a GMTO? (had given up on Trickers GMTO as it seemed most folk are only interested finding cheap boots in the next sale rather than spending a few extra quid. Dozens of GMTO's go on with C&J but there is two years of tumble-weed blowing through the Trickers MTO forum). We could get it professionally organised by Richard at the Shoeroom Doncaster. Any interest in something along these lines? Zug veldt logger! Yes please.

Not with orange soles though!

Hey, if you are in Cumbria then you need Zug loggers! Mine are for tramping around the fells nr Ullswater. (and not with orange soles, I agree)
