THE FIT
LAST No: 4444
This last has been in existence for decades, and its sizes are therefore non-standard - this is part of our history and character as England's oldest shoe manufacturer. The size (length fitting) of Tricker’s footwear made on this last is larger than a regular UK size by half a size. If you are unsure of your UK size, use the conversion chart below to convert your known size to a UK size. Then take off half a size. So if you normally take a UK size 8 (equivalent to US size 9, Japan size 27 and EU size 42), we recommend you order a size 7½; if you normally take a UK size 11½, we recommend you order a size 11; and so on.
MEN'S WIDTH FITTINGS
Most Tricker's men's shoes and boots are a Tricker's Width Fit 5.
These are suitable for most men, as they are a standard width. In
the UK this standard width is also known as an F fitting; in the USA
it is known as a D fitting; in other parts of the world, it is known
as an M (medium) or R (regular) fitting. Examples of Fit 5 styles
include our iconic Stow country boot,
Bourton country shoe and Robert town shoe collections.
Some of our styles are a Tricker's Width Fit 6. These shoes are
suitable for wider feet. In the UK this wider fit is known as a G
fitting; in the USA it is known as an E fitting; in other parts of
the world, it is known as a W (wide) fitting. If a shoe or boot is a
Tricker’s Width Fit 6 it will be labelled as such in the product
details. Examples of Fit 6 styles include a Malton
country boot and a Keswick
country shoe.
In a short space of time, your new Tricker's shoe or boot will fit
to your individual foot shape. For more details about sizing, please
see our Size Guide.
THE LAST
The last is a hard, three-dimensional form on which the shoe is
constructed. Depending on the style of shoe we use different lasts,
this is what dictates the overall shape, proportion, fit and
character of the shoe. Many of our lasts have heritage, we've been
using them for decades. The original moulds are made from wood and
shaped by hand, there are then graded into the different sizes and
tested rigorously to ensure the fit is consistent across the full
breadth of sizes.
Our lasts will generally fit your regular size, although some vary
so the information below should guide you. If you are still unsure
contact us and one of our experts will be able to help.
LAST No: 4444
These are a generous fit and therefore typically larger by half a
size. So, if you normally take a UK size 8, we recommend you try a
size 7½.
SOLE VARIETIES
We offer a variety of sole options. You can select your choice
above, the sole types available for each shoe are featured below the
size selector.
Leather Soles
These are the most traditional
sole variety - they're hard-wearing, but when they wear thin replace
to ensure your shoe is kept in the best condition. Leather is a
natural product and therefore porous. You can maintain it with
leather conditioner.
Dainite Soles
This is a rubber sole with
large studs that provide grip - whilst not so traditional, they do
provide good all-round grip and durability for most surfaces.
Commando Soles
Our original country boot sole
- these take a bit of breaking in, but they provide excellent
durability and grip across all terrain - particularly in the
countryside.
Vibram
These are light in weight and offer
excellent comfort, enhanced mobility and shock absorption.
Crepe
These are made from gum. A traditional
sole that provides comfort and natural shock absorbency. Crepe soles
are a natural product and somewhat porous. Therefore the colour can
change with age.

descendants, employing around 100 people in our Northampton shoe
factory in the heart of England. Click here

finish in Northampton by craftsmen and women
using traditional methods, to the same exacting standards that
first established our reputation.
- To make a pair of Tricker's shoes or boots takes eight weeks,
