That purple is amazing, more info on those? Trickers?

Yes Trickers I just got into them myself when I purchased a used pair on eBay. Then I seen they have some good sales and the shoes are really great. The fit of this 2298 last is very similar to the Carmina Detroit last.

They are on sale here is the info. Note if you are in the US the price is even less since we don't pay the tax. My pair was £329 cost me $385 US. Really a great deal Shell for under $400 and they have some of the boot version for £100 more so shell boots for under $500.

Trickers Bobby Derby shoes.
Built on our favourite 2298 last, the sizing is true.
Finished on a double leather sole, colours available are from left to right: Iris, Cypresso Green, Teck (tan), Oceano Blue and Cotto.

Available exclusively from our London Jermyn Street shop, Bobby is now reduced from £625 to £395.

We offer U.K. and worldwide shipping with email orders. Please contact direct - [email protected]

A little Saturday morning sunbathing for my darker shell models.

Is it fair to say if most of my shoes require some form of stretching, then I should pass on shell?

I like suede the most for a forgiving fit.

Amazing shell guys. Extra kudo's to BITJ. Family shots always earn xtra credit.

Thanks! I was actually missing a pair of espresso (brown) shell Rancourt loafers. That would’ve completed my “dark” shell family photo.

Not pictured: natural shell AE Daltons, whiskey shell Lindricks, whiskey shell Galways, and whiskey shell Marlow wingtips.
