Tricker's

Excellent craftsmanship. Great shoes for work or casual use.

this is my 5th pair of tricker's -- two pairs of boots, one pair of chukkas, burgundy longwings (best fitting and most attractive shoes i own), and now these pebbled woodstocks with dainite soles. i also have 1 church's, 2 sargent, and 2 loake; the church's custom grade are nearly the same quality as the tricker's, with the sargent premier exclusives a step below, but still very fine. my daughter also wears crockett and jones oxfords; these i would put on the same level as tricker's, even though most see them a notch above, but i prefer tricker's more traditional, non-elongated lasts. SO: tricker's are fantastic shoes in every way, and if you treat them well, you'll be able to wear them for the rest of your life (well, at least a good couple of decades anyway). THESE TRICKER'S: i don't like wearing leather-soled shoes in the rain; i don't even like wearing my tricker's boots in the rain, despite their dainite soles, because i prefer not to deal with possible consequences to the leather uppers; WOODSTOCK PEBBLE GRAIN WITH DAINITE SOLES ARE THE PERFECT R E A L SHOE FOR RAINY/STORMY WEATHER -- the pebble grain makes the leather considerably harder to begin with, but also very water-resistant (bellows tongue helps, too); and the dainite soles are on my view the best non-leather soles one can get, since they are up to rain, snow, even some ice, but their profile is such that the shoes look like leather-soled shoes, making them entirely appropriate for the office, good restaurants, even the theater on rainy nights. with these shoes, one need never again buy cheap 'dress' shoes with man-made molded soles and the terrible leather virtually all shoes under about two hundred retail are made from. the dark brown espresso color is also lovely and very versatile. and at the stp price (with a good deal-flyer deal), it's extremely hard to resist, even if it's still a lot of money for shoes. but compared to what one must actually pay elsewhere, they're practically a steal (note: stp inflates these retail prices a bit, but their prices are still by far the best you can get unless you get really lucky in an online auction or such). in short, I'M THRILLED.

Would buy them again.

This is the kind of shoe most of us think doesn't get made anymore. But Trickers makes them. These shoes are Quality, with a capital "Q". These shoes will outlast me--and I'm 50! Kind of old-world style but will appeal to any age group that knows a good deal when they see it. Ten pairs x [$], which last an average of six months, or one pair for [$] for life. An easy choice for me.

Wonderful shoes. My shoe size runs from 12 1/2 to 13 depending on the shoe itself...these in UK size 12 were perfect. Note that the Espresso Burnished Calf are not suede, but smooth/polished finish (which was my preference anyway).

High end shoe at a great price. This is one of the top British shoe maker brands.

These are wonderful shoes, of bespoke quality, available at a bargain price. I liked them so much, I bought two pairs.

Purchased these over Christmas. I am pretty demanding when it comes to my clothes, and I was not disappointed. If you are looking for a city-stylish shoe, this is not for you. But this is an example of what Trickers does best - a rugged, comfortable, well built country shoe. I like them w cords or chinos, or even a suit if there is snow on the ground. Im wearing them for the first time today and they have been comfortable from the first step. Last, I am a US 10 and the UK 9.5 fits perfect, just like it should. I mistakenly took other reviewers advice on it being too large and originally ordered a UK 9, and it was definitely too small.

Very well constructed and comfortable shoes with leather soles.
