Tricker's
-
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.

I'm guessing 60's. The cobbler who resoled them guessed about the same.

So the vintage Trickers finally arrived back from the Shoehealer.
Opted for a red Dainite sole and heal as I thought it would be a bit of fun and also stand the test of time a bit better than a leather sole.
To be honest I'm a little underwhelmed. I had an idea of how it would turn out in my head and it isn't quite there…
I've done a pretty hopeless job of showing how the stitching isn't lined up with the previous holes in one of the pictures. Will try and show an improved view. This is a minor issue sure, but it's all about the details with these things!
On another note, I'm contemplating giving the suede some much need nourishing. Possibly a go over with a wax or dubbin, tell me if you think that is a silly idea by all means.
