After buying my first pair of Tricker's boots I was hooked. I now own 5 pairs of their boots, I am absolutely in love with their quality and heritage.

[@robertalexander7661]

Good morning from Texas. After watching this video. All I can say is WOW!!! What a great looking pair of boots. I need to get me a pair!!!

[@RevJamesCostello]

Good to see you finally getting around to Tricker’s. I have several pairs. You basically have shoes/boots to last for decades. You’d need a hammer to break them.

[@DevonReviewer]

You know they have been on my list for a very long time, so happy to get my hands on some!

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

@Johnny Appleseed If you mean British boot companies there are a lot. Loake Burford is a good lower priced option and available < £200 if you shop around. Barker's are another brand, Cheaney are a little higher quality and their Tweed boot comes in a number of different soles and colours, higher still there are Trickers (frequently available 40% off) and Crockett & Jones (hardly ever discounted). Grenson have several ranges and their Grenson Two range is made in India. Their more expensive Grenson One and Grenson Zero lines look to be well made. Grenson are more fashion forward than some brands.

[@mickharris245]

I have a pair of Stow boots (blue), three pairs of Bourton shoes (green, brown and red) and still want (don't need) another pair. These are fantastic, easy to wear in, look great dressed up or down, city or country; for this genre I will not buy any other brand. The quality, attention to detail and style is the pinnacle of English brogue. I look after them so they will probably outlive me! When stores reopen, if you are in the vicinity of Jermyn Street you must visit their shop. As an aside I have no connection with Trickers, I'm just a customer/fan.

[@DevonReviewer]

Very pleased with them and I agree, these are what Brogues are all about! I miss trips to London, I was reading about the bespoke lasting etc but at £2500+ for the first pair you need deep pockets, albeit probably cheap by Jermyn Street standards, John Lobb etc! My wife has been coveting some of their red brogues for a long time too!

[@adamwest5625]

Just purchased my first pair of Tricker's - Stow in Acorn Muflone. As I already own 2 pairs of Grenson Fred Boots and a pair of Grenson Stanley brogues, I opted for the Acorn Muflone over the Acorn Antique as the Grenson Tan colour way is so similar. The Acorn Muflone grained leather looks stunning and it feels already broken in straight out of the box. Quality of the Tricker's is a step up from Grenson. I purchased these from Herrings for £435 which is a decent saving over the RPP!

[@TheShaz1980]

I got the same pair and they are really good quality, had them for 2 years and they look better now then they did out of the box.

[@DevonReviewer]

Glad to hear that what do you use to treat them? Herring supplied some neutral boot cream, but I also have Saphir clear polish.. and i was wondering about getting some Trickers Tan polish..

[@TheShaz1980]

@@DevonReviewer I’m using Trickers Tan Polish, I always use trickers products on my trickers, I think I purchased it for around £10, I have also use the Saphir high gloss polish on the toes and heels.

[@ruben00110010]

I just unboxed and put on my first pair of Tricker's today. I heard that the original Stow boot was roomie but know that I love a wider footbox so I went with this style. Thank god I did because they are the perfect fit for my feet. They do not disappoint!

[@jasonissm496]

Have you considered getting in any Japanese boots like Moto, Rolling Dub Trios, Joe Works or any MTO's like White Kloud, Clinch Brass Tokyo

[@TheRealChetManley]

Beautiful boots! Hadn't considered that style of boot, but I certainly will now. That detail around the heel is just for decoration. It's an extra fancy detail, just something above and beyond what most makers do.

[@keithdouglas1018]

Thank for reviewing the Tricker's Maltons. I have a pair of these and I love them. Great if you have wider feet, and very comfortable. I have several pairs of Tricker's boots and shoes, and they are all excellent.

[@DevonReviewer]

Just put a good few miles on mine this morning having a walk in the sun, really wonderful shoes!

[@richyclubsport5155]

Living on the Northamptonshire borders i go to Trickers factory shop, grabbed a pair of these at knockdown price with a minor blemish on leather, amazing boots, had them several years, just resoled and heeled in dainite more comfortable than ever. The best boots a man can get in this price point, and Royal warrant to.

[@paulthomas197]

I got pair of these few years ago for £205 from ebay. Basically unworn. Guy bought them found them heavy sold them on. They are fantastic boots.

[@cannibalholocaust3015]

I saw a pair of acorn stows for sale in trickers outlet for £180. I’ve bought another two pairs from fb marketplace, one acorn for £85 that had been worn but fantastic condition & the other for £125 espresso on gumlite soles that were as new. Keep an eye out and you can get v good deals. Their price right now is £565. The quality is really something, beautiful soft thick leather.

[@cannibalholocaust3015]

Have my eye on another pair that’s like new for £125, slightly diff style. Derby toe cap. So I could have three pairs for £365(30 inc for shipping) , not bad in my opinion vs price of one new pair.

[@Sirkelsag666]

Love my Trickers Stow boots for daily wear! My laces ripped in about 1.5 years of regular wear. Have had mine for I believe around 5 years total now. Trickers stow boots on dainite soles in dark brown, one pair of black cheanny boots on commando soles with grey herringbone wool on the vamp, these were made for hackett, actually have the same design in black oxfords aswell. And finally a pair of Alfred Sargent natural tan leather on commando soles.

[@mrandmrscorona8658]

mainly wear work boots RED WINGS but starting to venture into high quality casual boots and these look are very impressive... Thanks for the upload.

[@mrd4721]

@devonreviewer.Oops deleted the comment by accident. I have found the width and fit to be excellent. I have worn them round the house today for about 6 hours with a pair of Darn Tough extra thick socks. The leather is much thicker than on my Barker and Loake boots. I was surprised how comfortable they were out of the box. I did use the code thank you 😁 👍🏻

A good review of a good boot, from the oldest UK boot maker. Well worth the price of a couple of those mass made American boot brand - enjoy

I have the stow model in the same colour, the leather and workmanship is fantastic, I love them.

[@craftycumbrian3561]

Hi, Those are what Trickers call a 6 fitting (wide). 5 is standard and classed as fairly wide. C Shade colour needs a thicker hide to sustain the fairly matt colour so they actually use sustainable sourced bulls hide which is why it’s slightly thicker than standard calf. Nice pair and kind of Herrings to hook you up.

[@liamchoi9774]

Hi. thanks for your great information. do you think malton cshade leather last longer than stow calf leather?

[@craftycumbrian3561]

@@liamchoi9774 hi, it may do but I’ve no experience long term, it is a slightly thicker hide but still soft. C shade was the name they gave the colour on a chart so a being brown and e tan for example.

Greeting from stockholm in autumn the luxurios season for boot wearing

[@jamescooper7957]

I love these boots. Almost pulled the trigger on a pair but went with my Alden Indys instead. It came down to my uncertainty on EU sizing.

[@DevonReviewer]

Their online sizing guide is pretty comprehensive and they sizing is standard, albeit a generous width. The Aldens are on my list to try one day.. iconic!

[@jamescooper7957]

@@DevonReviewer Once I can think of an excuse to order another pair of boots, I'll grab a pair. If you get a chance, definitely grab a pair of Indys. They're my most comfortable GYW boots.

[@neohshoes2409]

Trickers sizing is very standard and with the Marlow, which is a wider 6 fitting shoe, is similar to a E width in US. But the UK length has always been 1 size less than one’s US sizing. Very comfortable footbed and the lining is very good too. Alden Indies are overrated. If more Americans bought British or Spanish made shoes they’d soon realize Alden product quality is equal or under Cheaney while charging the same amount as Crockett Jones benchgrade. Nowadays, even Berwick 1707 for Edward and James in pediwear makes shoes at better higher quality than Allen Edmonds. So, customers in Europe definitely have access to better wares. .

[@barrymantelli8011]

[@1975spenie]

Great review, I've got the brogue boots and the shoes, took a bit to break the shoes in but love them, the boots originally had a leather sole but had then resoled with a red dainite sole. Should last a lifetime.

[@KinokoFuuko]

It will great if you can give an update on this beautiful pair !

[@shadow-Sun]

My Favourite boots EVER are Cheaneys Hurricaine 2 in whiskey colour Kudu leather absolutely beautifully made and as comfortable as gloves sraight out of the box . Quality is expensive and in the case of footware by brands like cheaney , Trickers , and many others from Northampton worth every penny for shoes and boots that are keepers and never date and wear in beautifully .

[@InventiveReality]

Good detailed review. I have a pair of the stow model and adore them. Might get some of these for the wider width. What brand of shoe trees are those?

[@paulthomas197]

I got mine about 4 years ago for 200 pound from ebay. Blokehad bought tjem and found them too heavy so after one wear sold them. Literally as good as new. Great boots but yer they are heavy.

[@CrispyFrenFry]

I’m so eager to buy my first pair however, I’m unsure what my proper size would be because I’m only accustomed to USA shoe sizes. My true to size Brannock is 9 eee (extra wide width) and my boots by White’s (MP Sherman) and Alden (405) generally fall into 8.5 eee. What would my Trickers size in these handsome boots be? Thanks to all who may know more about sizing!

[@cannibalholocaust3015]

Thanks, always try to cut in a couple of extra shots to make things a bit more interesting, but there were a few more opportunities with these!

[@davidramplin5291]

Can you use a normal shoe tree on a boot or do you need to buy a boot varient? I've never used one. A short video would be great.

[@robgs5665]

You can use a normal shoe tree, the main focus is that the creasing in the front gets even.

[@jaytaylor9232]

I received a pair of Maltons yesterday, sadly they have QC issue with the welt. The welt on the right boot toe box is folded forward and excessively soft and tall, it will not remain against the upper, it looks terrible. I email photos to Tricker's who informed me this is normal. Sadly returning them and asking for a refund. Not the experience I was expecting for a £595 pair of boots.

[@byN91]

G'day Sir! May i ask regarding the fit, do you normally wear trickers Fit 6?or wide width shoes? How does it fit?

Lovely pair of boots except for the colour, I'm sure I'm not on my own with not liking that orange colour. I have the Joseph Cheaney which I prefer to the Trickers. Never liked the fit of the Trickers boots.

[@x.nihilo]

What I would be careful when buying Trickers, is that most of their boots come without the inner lining on the tongue. I consider that to be bad design and long term, it should create a weak spot in the construction of the boot. They do have however boots fully inner lined.

what a coincidence i just picked up a pair of trickers stow in same c shade. curios do you know the diff between malton and stow ?

[@DevonReviewer]

They appear to be almost identical (same last, same brouging) although the Stow comes in a range of colours and either leather or dainite sole; the Malton is a single colour and commando sole only.

[@mrgt3201]

I was going to ask the same question. The Stow can also be had with a commando sole and I can’t see any difference.

[@Rigz727]

@@DevonReviewer I believe the Malton is a tad wider(6) whilst the Stow is a (5), the Malton also comes standard with the commando sole and the Stow with a choice of either leather or a Dainite. Stow also has more colour and varying leather choices. Enjoy your reviews, think you need to do more!

[@wicked-witch-of-the-west]

Loake do a superb boot called the Bedale, at like £240. Not sure about these £500 trickers, when Loake have the bedale, with the same commando, super durable sole

[@DevonReviewer]

Thanks, I have never had a pair of Loake but wonder if they outsource construction (I think the do on their cheaper models?)

[@Daniel-df7fz]

I have had the bedale in the past. It was good but Trickers leather was far superior- i'm sure even in a blind test you would be able to tell the difference. I don't know exactly how to convey it but the build quality feels more than twice as good on a Trickers than a Loake. Overall you can tell that the Trickers is more durable.

[@wicked-witch-of-the-west]

@@DevonReviewer That's correct, they outsource their budget models. For people who can't afford the good stuff.

Beautifully made boots, a bit too dressy for me. I do really like their derby boots though, been toying with the idea of getting them as my next pair, or possibly some custom made ones from one of the emerging Indonesian shoemakers.

[@DevonReviewer]

Who are you looking at in Indonesia? I follow Prof.Barnets on instagram, he makes wonderful things!

[@lawrenceh7182]

DevonReviewer Sagara seem to be a pretty decent outfit. I also like the look of Onderhoud. Txture have some really gorgeous designs and their website is pretty good too compared to most from these parts. And then there is Santalum. Honestly there are probably another 5 really good brands to keep an eye on, there are also a couple of decent tanneries in Indonesia so it’s all sourced locally. My only reservation, which is why I often buy UK, Japan or USA made is what the conditions are like for workers. I am not sure on this one, but for about £200-300 you can have a hand stitched, hand made bespoke boot made. That would be upwards of £1k in any of the aforementioned.

[@jimmycake7143]

[@drew5337]

Regarding price, we are conditioned to crappy Chinese made shoes for $100 or less. Most any man can afford a $500 pair of boots with even the slightest amount of discipline in saving his money, and then have boots that will last a good portion of his life. They only get expensive when you realize that one (or two, or three) pair isn't enough 😉

[@DevonReviewer]

Well it had to happen some day! The brogue's association with outdoors is very historic, in the 1800's apparently the holes used to go all the way through to allow water to drain out of your boot..not sure if they looked anything like a modern brogue pattern.. given that the name brogue is derived from Irish and Scottish dialects and simply means "shoe" I guess it was simply any show with holes.
