Tricker's

[ddtrash]

Just been stuck in Aberdeen ( UK ) for a few days trying to get to work offshore.  I only had my scruffy clothes with me so decided to go shopping,….......................real shame but it had to be done 

I picked up a pair of Trickers Long Wing brogue shoes in coffee colour calf leather.  The shoes were made by Trickers for Kafka who are an Aberdeen based high end clothes shop.

I like the Long Wing style, quite hard to find but a classic.  They will make a nice addition to the collection, I have Moulton C shade boots but this is the first pair of brogue shoes I have owned.

Excuse the poor Iphone shots, I will try and get some better pictures once back home.

I'm on the brink of ordering a MTO with Richard at the shoe healer for a high leg logger boot in wheat cavalier leather with natural storm welt and a commando sole.. price is high but less if more join in.. any interest?

[tigerpac]

tmg - yup, except black danite sole - like that they can pull off business casual and selvage

Some better pictures as promised of my latest Trickers purchase, some long-wing style brogue shoes in coffee colour calf leather.

Really pleased with these and have been getting lots of use out of them, very versatile as you can dress them up or down as you choose.  Always been a boot man prior to owning these but my opinion is shifting.

I like the small details with the shoes, stuff like receiving a cleaning cloth and individual shoe bags makes purchasing a pair of trickers special.

Some photos of the Malton "C shade" brogue boots also in the collection.

Contemplating selling these ( UK 8.5,  6 width fitting ).  PM me if interested.

those long-wings are pretty sweet looking…now if you'd sell them instead of the malton brogue boots, i'd pm ya

[ddtrash]

Finn, I hear you one that one.  Since the purchase of the longwings the regular Moulton boots have been mothballed.  I use the term "falling out of love with them" loosely but this has a lot to do with the reason to try and move the boots on.

Too many items of footwear in the collection already, I just can't do them all justice so some pairs get moved on every so often.

Replaced the leather sole with a vibram heavy lug.

Very nice, especially your granddad's pair.

[peezlep]

Thank you.

They are pretty special.  The only problem is, whereas the suede still seems in excellent condition, the leather sole seems very rigid and 'dried out'.  I'd be interested to know if any one has found this on footwear of more advanced years?  Maybe a trip to the Shoehealer is in order…

[riffblaster general]

the leather soles on my veldtschoens were really dried out as well and probably would have started cracking had i not resoled them.  by the logo in your grandfather's pair it looks like they may be around the same age.
