Review of Tricker's Henry Chelsea Brogue Boot

[@dyersnider5406]

Having a boot review going in the background while you’re doing another one in the foreground is so meta. Well played!

[@Bootlosophy]

🤣🤣🤣

[@rangerscoach]

such a great set feature!!!

[@sedumjp]

I live in the UK, born and bred in Northamptonshire with shoe making in my family. and I love Trickers, (own 6 pairs), but this dude is talking nuances of fashion which left me feeling like a complete chump. The shots of different levels of dress with the boots were a total education to me and this is a great video. And you are more English than actual English people....

[@Trickers-Shoes]

Thank you for your honest review.

[@sureshobhan]

[@AlbertoOrtiz-we2jc]

greetings from Mexico! I was recently wishing you’d reviwed any Tricker’s boots since I’m a fan of their products, and here it is! Great review, very thorough as any other, nice work.

[@richyclubsport5155]

Got a pair of Trickers Henry in blue with tan contrasting elastic, from there factory outlet in England 55% of RRP because of a tiny flaw in the leather. I'm lucky living on Northamptonshire border, England, all the big names, Crockett Jones, Grenson, Cheaney, Loake and others have factory shops where you can grab some amazing deals

[@Bootlosophy]

Great deal!

[@colinbugby]

Especially recommend Cheaney factory shop in Desborough. Others: Loake (Market Harborough), Crockett (Npton), Barkers (EarlsBarton), NPS/Solovair (Wollaston), and of course Tickers. I'm not aware Grenson has a factory shop?

[@richyclubsport5155]

@@colinbugby now in London although can still get some seconds in Rushden, I'm now sticking to Crockett and Jones and Trickers, all the others now outsourcing, mainly India, leather to hard and doesn't last, got my money back on my Loake Loxley, started to crack after only a few wears.

[@colinbugby]

Good points. Cheaney and Sanders are both emphatic that they are not made in India. I really like some of the Cheaney styles and you get an impressive choice in the shop. I also have some Loakes, Barkers, and Sanders that I really like too, but they are noticeably cheaper than Trickers or Crocketts.

[@richyclubsport5155]

@@colinbugby I dropped in the Cheaney factory shop a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how expensive they are now, got Cheaney Albert 2 in mahogany there two years ago for £195 same were £325 that's Trickers and Crockett and Jones factory shop prices, went on to Trickers and bought Stow in reverse suede or rough out suede as others call it, for £335. I used to go to Churches but Prada doubled the price of everything recently, Chelsea boots are almost £1000 madness no wonder they laid of some workers. The other manufacturer I rate was Alfred Sargent, mainline not Bowden's range, they recently started trading again called Paul Sargent although not been there as yet. Bit I'm done now got more than enough boot's, even after selling some of my collection on eBay recently

[@ig_gambit]

Hey there Teik! Always appreciate your videos. Will you being releasing a video on your new Viberg Service Boots soon?

[@Bootlosophy]

Yup! Stay tuned!

[@paulterry8373]

How do you find these compare to RM Williams in terms of quality of materials, construction and finishing?

[@Bootlosophy]

Good question. Thinking about it I think they’re very similar in all three perspectives you mention. The fundamental difference is psychological - when you put these on you “feel” like you shouldn’t wear them “rough” whereas the RMs give you a “what the hell” attitude.

[@paulterry8373]

@@Bootlosophy Thanks for the reply, whilst I don't have the Henry boot, I do have 12 pairs of Trickers and 16 pairs of RMs...... my honest view is that Trickers leather is far superior to RM, as is Trickers finishing and QC...... Construction seems on a par...... Interestingly to psychological point, My Stows and Bourtons are built like tanks compared to RMs, yet I am more carefree in my RMs.... maybe its the psychology of the finer leather and finishing of the Trickers that does that.......

[@richyclubsport5155]

I owned RM Williams and replaced them with Ian Harold, in my humble opinion better and cheaper, I own several pairs of Trickers and Crockett and Jones, the best a man can get

[@delroyefemini6320]

I have a pair of these in Acorn with a Vibram commando morflex sole, they literally feel like wearing sneakers. Bar the colour they are a perfect all rounder i’ve worn them with a suit and I’ve worn them in jeans. Awesome review as always. 🔥🔥🔥👌🏾

[@Bootlosophy]

Thank you!

[@krystjanchanerley9288]

Excellent 👌 thanks You definitely got a good bargain on these pair

[@Molach101]

I live in the countryside in the UK & to me these are luxury dealer boots worn by well-to-do farmers for farm work. They're the kind of boot they leave in the "boot room" where they hang up their old dog-hair covered Barbour jackets, along with their Hunter wellies etc. Otherwise they'd track mud & cow or sheep dung into the house or scratch the nice wooden floors with stones the lug soles pick up

[@Andrew-bu8io]

Chelsea's are probably my favorite style boot.

[@davidcallan7844]

These are really cool!👍👍

[@paulterry8373]

Hi Teik, can I ask, are you sure you got the Henrys on the 4444 last? I ask as Tricker's also sometimes make the Henry on the W2298 last, which is a sleek dress shoe version of the 4497 (Stow) last..... I ask because yours in the video do look sleek, more like the W2298 last, whereas the 4444 last is very wide and volumous, with most people finding the 4444 too wide and needing to size down 2 sizes from Brannock......... another thought, you may have got a custom pair that is a slim width, denoted by the number next to the size on the inside of the boot..... 4 is narrow, 5 is standard, 6 is wide width........ I am just super curious given how they look on your video and how you describe the fit, neither seems like the 4444 last..................a friend and fellow boot lover!

[@Bootlosophy]

I’m not at all sure

[@krystjanchanerley9288]

Don’t these boots normally come in a commando sole ?

[@Bootlosophy]

They come in both as well as different uppers

[@Booksandboots]

So what’s w the Cowboy boots behind you? 👀 have you done a review of those before??

[@Bootlosophy]

I have. That’s the actual review you see on screen, the Soto Odessa.

[@Tony16610]

Thank you for this. As a Kiwi whose only experience with GYW footwear are my RMWs, I've been binging Trickers videos in the hopes of picking up a pair this year. I was wondering, do you find Trickers, in general, to be more accommodating than RM Williams? I am a true UK 8.5 E/EE for heel to ball and heel to toe on my largest foot and find that even the wide sized H of an RMW Comfort Craftsman/Turnout is too narrow in the toes for me. Half sizing up to a UK9G or H is much more comfortable. I'm really debating on whether or not to go TTS on a Stow since the RMW in my TTS would have been perfect if it was just a bit wider in the forefoot! Thank you :)

[@Bootlosophy]

I’m actually finding them very similar to RMs and I’m TTS in G.

[@paulterry8373]

I have never heard the Henry boot called sleek before! The Henry is on the 4444 last, same as Trickers Bourton country shoe, which is a volumous last, wide and round..... much more than the 4497S last on the Stow..... Other than that great review

[@fenners1]

Don't agree with you here. I have multiple pairs on both lasts and although 4444 does tend to be roomier and requires you to size down by half, the 4497 is definitely rounder at the toe. The appearance of the 4444 from above is definitely sleeker so I agree with the reviewer.

[@taifu13781]

Nice field jacket!

[@martyn420]

I bought a pair of Henry boots because I couldn't rely on Tricker's to make a pair of Stow boots without wonky eyelets.

[@Bootlosophy]

😂😂😂

[@jaslarue]

I'm intrigued by Trickers. These don't seem to be quite the "country boot" of the stow line. But they sure look sharp!

[@Bootlosophy]

The English “Country Boot” simply means a wider last and more relaxed design (often with brogued patterns to reference old walking shoes) that are more relaxed than Town shoes. It doesn’t necessarily mean “rugged”. It comes from a time when you wore relaxed but still formal (tweed suits) clothes in your country home.

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

I'm surprised that these are popular in the UK. Personally I think they're hideous and make Blundstones look good but I am obviously out of step with the public. Nitpicking regarding Dainite soles, I think the Harboro Rubber company started producing rubber soles in 1894 but the studded Dainite sole design was introduced in 1910. Regarding half UK sizes that usually equates to 4mm as traditionally the whole UK size is a third of an inch (called a barleycorn) or 8.5 mm. Though factory shoes made by hand are obviously going to have a lot of variation.
