Try getting a salesperson to track down a pair. The online inventory is different from the store inventory or so I've been told.

BTW is there a Trickers resurgence, for once SW&D is late to the party as MC has been into these for a while. I check retricker from time to time and never found anything in my size.


I would say yes as to the resurgence.

I paid 125 and 133 GBP a pair (buying two pairs of trickers at once), minus VAT, from retricker. I think it came out to about $300 or $350 something with the exchange being favorable for the USD at the time

Now that gets you a single pair of trickers from retricker, let alone getting them new.

I remember trying to hold out for Stowes at 100 gbp (they were sometimes going for 125 gbp or something, usually 150 gbp). Nowadays I would drop that in an instant.

Shipping quote insane at $309.

Obviously that is subject to change once the final bid is made.

Nice shoes.

Wish I could get in on these MTO trickers group buys going on. Hopefully, there'll be a few more of these later in the year.

^^ Can someone lay out the exact specs for this shoe (or just tell me which post number has them), just so I know we're all on the same page?
