Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[Cal135]

Not interested in that particular make up myself but Richard at the shoe room was amazingly helpful with an enquiry I had the other week.

We should look at a group MTO

Yep. Richard is really good. A kudu-Eaton MTO should arrive this month

I was extremely tempted to jump on that MTO too. In the end I didn't and I'm regretting it a bit today Please post some pics once you get them!

The multi-color one? I recall seeing that a while back & liking it.

Those of you kicking around an MTO with Richard, are you guys set on black? Sadly, I've no interest in black whatsoever....

He’s asking Trickers if they will do with a Kudu leather they don’t currently use. I saw the black and thought would be different. I tend not to wear it so haven’t really many black pairs which was an attraction (strangely!) to me.

I don't have one pair of black boots or shoes at the moment so I would prefer them to be black. That being said, I might be interested in some other colors as well. My first preference is for black though.

Richard is on with contacting the factory (although I think it may be closed this week) to see what the options are.

OK the new blues finally showed up a day late due to UPS missing the pkg transfer in Germany.

Here we are just out of the box.

One issue the heel of the one shoe was digging into the toe of the other the cloth and foam was shifted. Actually judging by the depth of this dent I would say this did not happen in shipping but rather it sat on the shelf for a while with the weight of the one shoe impressing into the other. It is actually much bigger than it looks in the pic as I had to move the angle to get the glare off to take the pic.

Here we are in the sun after a few min of brushing.

Some color issues, you can still see that dent but not as bad on this angle in the sun.

I put some cream on the dent and let it soak, then took the deer bone to it and it's better but still noticeable. This was an outlet shoe and the last pair in my size so getting another pair is not an option. I hope that if I go back over the dent with the deer bone over a few days hopefully it evens out. Not sure what else I can do as I like the shoes and the color works for my collection.

Those are gorgeous! It might be just me but I like the slight variation in the color, makes them look more natural and less plastic-y. Obv I haven't sen the dent live but judging by those pics I personally wouldn't mind as there would 5 more after a week of wear.

Thanks. I think in time they will patina very nicely. I have worked the dent and much improved, now it is really near the flex line of the shoe. I am thinking like you said after several wears it will be gone or just not noticable. I have a pair of blue shell Carmina's and they are dark blue could pass for black in low light. The color of these Trickers is lighter and to the greenish side so perfect the Tricker's are not the same color so blends in great with the collection.
