Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

[basu13]

I just broke down and got these for $220 shipped used. There's another on ebay in UK 8 but the heel is worn to ****.

Your photos pushed me to just accept the surcharge for the drip. Couldn't get the guy off Poshmark.

Sounds like a good deal. And lovely photos/composition as well. I picked up my Stows (new) for 245 GBP sometime back which I thought was a good price, 220 USD is an even better price for what looks like almost new boots.

Haha, thank you! 👊

I had worries they could be too reddish for my taste, but I like the balance of brown and red and when I opened the box I said loudly "YES!". The first picture features a stronger sun, which amplifies the red, the second picture meets more my overall impression of the colour and the tonal darkness.

Don't know if I had made the exchange, if these had been Sign Kudu. Moss! Yeah, I have seen the new Kudu Moss Stow and got pretty nervous. Probably. Maybe.
Originally I thought I should add a Stow in Espresso, but I have a Burford and Bourton in Espresso and these Polo Kudus rendered that idea obsolete, at least for a while. And I also have a Stow and Bourton in Acorn, so there' some variety in the Tricker's corner. Black Burfords are guaranteed for me, the rest will somehow happen.

Have you thought about the Caramel? It's actually a great color with a lot of variation/character. Probably my most word color.

Yes, as it's gorgeous and quite a very special shade I have. Talking boots only (no shoes) I have ten shades of brown, the majority are dark to mid brown and three of those are Tricker's - my two Stows and the Burford.
I always try to not cross the fine line between madness and insanity, at least that's the idea, so I don't see another brown boot ... well ... unless it's for sale. 🤡

I had the chance to switch my first and too big Burfords for these Stows and got lucky. The Polo Kudu is lovely soft and pliable, and the colour is a great addition to my Espresso and Acorn Trickers.

These photos are making me wish I got this model. Looks incredible. I often prefer a contrasting welt/edge, but this just looks so right. I wonder how similar the new snuff kudu model is in comparison to this.

I had asked @SumDude about it and please see his very helpful comments and pictures showing Sign next to Snuff and Polo next to Snuff from #22.607 to #22.613 .
These Polo Kudu Stows are my only Kudus. Looking at them and at his photos I'd say there right in the middle, probably a bit closer to Snuff given the dark tonality, but then closer to Sign given the red hue that seems to be pretty minimal in the Snuff. However I have learned from this thread that there is quite some variation how a Kudu colour turns out.

Yeah! How many shades of brown does a man need? If it's less about collecting than wearing, the perception of redundancy enters the mind a bit earlier.

That's a shame. The snuff looks great, but the polo seems more special. Next time they run a polo Stow, Eaton, or Bourton I may have to make a purchase.

 

[bemk]

"Special" is a good word! While the Snuff Kudu is also special, the Polo gives more variety or difference if Espresso is already in your stock. At least that's how I feel.

Tricker’s worn since last post.

I got two new pairs in today. A pair of plain black calf Bourtons and a DR collab Stow

From now on you're also known as KuduDude!

I don't know the first one, but from there from left to right it's Caramel - Sign - Polo - Snuff, right?

KuduDude should go to @Crafty Cumbrian or @zippyh. 😁 I am still trying to strive to their level one day.

The first is Marron Muflone, which is as soft as kudu. I didn’t include the waxy kudu DR collaboration which is probably as dark or more as the Snuff.

Hey guys! Any info about this? They’re boots, similar to stow,,, but this is something I’ve never seen before. Are they womens boots?

I believe Stephy is a women's Stow with a different last.
