Tricker's

These boots are beautiful, comfortable, handmade, and seem very durable so far (they certainly have a reputation for incredible durability). Tricker's markets these as a country boot, and maybe if you hang around with British royals your friends might be fashionable enough to raise their eyebrows if you wear them in town. But here in America these boots can take you from mucking out horses to the office. Perfectly acceptable for all but the most formal occasions - you would need to get down to ankle level to determine that these were anything other than a pair of high-end wingtip shoes. The boot boasts obviously high quality leather, beautiful, perfect brogueing, silky leather lining,a comfortable and supportive footbed, and a tough Dainite rubber sole. Should the sole ever wear out (which seems unlikely given how dense and resilient the rubber is) Tricker's can replace it, since the shoes are Goodyear welted. The dainite sole is a little stiff, and is not as refined as a leather sole, but it's perfect for unpleasant weather, and certainly doesn't look clunky or ungainly. The fit is slightly roomy since the boots are meant to be worn with thick socks. I'm an American 10.5 and I ordered UK size 10, and the boots fit perfectly with nice medium-weight wool socks. You simply don't see shoes of this quality in anything but the highest-end stores. Just amazing!

My second pair of Tricker's and both are great. The boots are not as wide as my shoes, but always order one full size smaller.

Comfortable, well made, good leather, boots.

Very nice dress boots. These are a bit more "casual" than other dress boots I have, in that the last seems to have a slightly bulbous rounded toe, less elegant than others I have seen (so the more discriminating may not want to wear these with a suit). Other than that, they are excellent in materials and construction, although I would have liked "quick release" hooks rather than eyelets on the upper part of the boot.

Tricker's are tough to find the correct fit. I have a slightly narrow foot and wear an Allen Edmond size 11. Tricker's in size 10 works best for me although can be a bit wide depending on the shoe.

Bought the 11UK boots in Nut Brown. Fit like an 11.5D American-made dress shoe or a size 12 US sneaker. The nut brown color is great. After wearing them about five times in two weeks, they have already begun to display the subtle variations in color and texture that give high-quality leather its appealing depth and color. I will use leather conditioner regularly and on occasion, cream polish in different medium-brown colors. They look great with jeans, but I will also wear them as office shoes, especially on wet-weather days, with chinos, cords, and tweedy office pants. I would not wear them with a suit but I would with any other casual or business casual outfit. From a distance, most people think they are regular dress shoes. The sole is not clunky or obviously equipped for mountain climbing, like most ugly boots. Great boots -- well worth the cost. Was very happy to find them at such a discount here on STP.

I've always wanted to own a superbly handmade, classy, very high quality pair of casual boots, practically lifers, but at a terrific price. Well, this is it. Though British made the leather is durable yet flexible, with a hint of Italian style, fashionwise - timeless, perfect for casual wear and at the office. The downside is that this may not be the type of boot you'd wear during the winter. And as for any high-quality item, you've got to apply the necessary "elbow grease" maintenance to make it last the way it was meant to last.

It is well known that English shoes are a full size down from US sizing. What is it about STP that they don't understand this and mark these only 1/2 size smaller? I ordered the recommended sizing, thinking they may be a different last, and had to return them. PS: I have about 5 pairs of Trickers in boots, shoes, etc. All of mine are marked 1 full size down from my US size.

I really love this boot. I wish I could justify buying both colors so that I could wear them two days in a row. They're comfortable right out of the box and look stunning. I am a US 10D and the 9 fit me just about right.

Attractive and well made. No regrets with this purchase
