Tricker's

[peezlep]

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.

Went ahead and waxed them.  I did a small test on the tongue and knew straight away I was onto a winner.  A couple of progress pictures, first shot showing one shoe with wax and the other without, and the second of the end result.

Really pleased with how they've turned out.

Yep - loving those post-wax!..

Thanks Seul! One final overly dramatic image…

Acorn?!  Love em.  Trickers stows fit differently on your foot than any other boot I've ever had.  Sorta like wearing socks around, very comfy.

feeling honored buddy! thanks

Black stows need thick boot socks or are a bit too roomy, smart to size down a second pair 1/2 and wear with dress socks?
