Thanks, I do like them a lot; I've probably worn them once or twice every week since I got them. Re Tricker's Espresso: I briefly had a pair of their Regent calfskin captoes in that colour with natural sole edge finishing, MTO for a German retailer (returned them because of needle drag marks). That pair could pass for black depending on the lighting.
What is the Tricker's Continental collection. A shoe on sale on the Tricker's ebay store http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trickers-Facto...ht_1245wt_1165 has the description From the Continental Collection A Gentlemans Derby tramping shoe in oatmeal suede off the W 2298 set of lasts On a red micro rubber sole

It is not really a collection, like the Country, 1829 or Jermyn collection. To my experience Tricker's use it to describe shoes on their W2298 last. This is more of a country last, but slightly slimmer and longer compared to the country classics like Bourton and Malton. Not a bad choice for some nice dirty bucks, I guess...

I just received a pair of Tricker's that I think are several seasons old. While new, they seem to have a lot of shop wear on them, and I'm not sure whether I should keep them. Anyone recognize these? Is there anything particularly special about these that should make me think twice? The store claims original retail on these was $640!
They are Dundee model. The box says "Cordan Burnished Derby Shoe." Pics below. First with flash, the rest without.

^^ Depends on how much you paid ...Originally Posted by aj_del
Good point. It was in the neighborhood of 50% off. I don't see how they're much different than these:

...which would be less than I paid and new. And honestly, I have a hard time believing that these ever retailed for $640. Am I missing something?
The Dundee model you have linked to is probably discontinued, hence the low price and limited sizes.
If you paid 320 USD for those shoes, I wouldn't say you got a great deal but if you like it then I guess you could keep them.

As stated, the Corniche range is discontinued. Corniche are and were perfectly decent shoes - the leathers used are basic and the price point at Pediwear is accurate and appropriate for first grade items.

Thanks for the info. I sent them back. Not a bargain at the price, and not in condition that I consider to be sellable as new. Disappointed, but not a fair assessment of Trickers in general.
