About Bourton:
Bourton is Trickers iconic men’s country shoe. These handmade shoes are a piece of Tricker’s Northampton shoemaking history, and yet today they are the go-to shoe for men all around the world. The Bourton is unmistakable – a heavy Derby shoe that bears the brogue detailing synonymous with true country shoes. A half bellows tongue is folded and attached to the shoe to provide a watertight seal, and the storm welt provides an additional waterproof seal between the shoe’s upper and sole. The profile of a Bourton is characteristically strong.

This Edition:
Trickers are reintroducing the Kudu leather into the 2022 collection after a lot of requests from retailers around the globe. The leather used is African Antelope Greater Kudu.

Due to their grazing habits mainly amongst thorn trees, the Kudu hide becomes scratched and scarred. These marks give the leather its inimitable character making each pair of shoes and boots completely unique.

The sole being used on the Kudu range for 2022 is the Ridgeway sole, which is a hard wearing rubber sole. They can be characterized by their thick protruding lugs and large ridge channels that offer great traction and stability.

Leather Information:
Indigenous to a variety of African countries, Kudu is highly praised for their meat as well as their horns and are culled regularly for export, as well as local consumption, to the benefit of local communities.

Trickers only purchase kudu leather in a limited amount and it is produced as a by-product of local food industries.

Built To Last:
Each and every pair of Tricker’s is handmade within their Northampton factory in England by craftsmen and women using traditional methods, and to the same exacting standards that first established their reputation. There are 260 processes used to make each pair from start to finish.

Trickers uncompromising standards of craftsmanship and use of honest materials, are values that have been preserved and developed through five generations and are observed as resolutely today as they were in 1829.
