Tricker's

@Finn666:

those are nice Andi (if i may call you so?)…lusting for a pair of tricker's as well the last few days!

Thanks Finn! Actually most people call me Andy, 'cause "Andreas" seems to be too challenging for Americans 

Concerning Trickers I would say go for them!! Great shoes they are. Shoe Healer is a very reliable source and Richard (owner) is a very helpful and patient guy. Make sure to size them correctly, the lasts are a bit different from what you may be used to.

I know.  Try being called Giles (that is G as in Jaipur not G as in Garage).  I've worked with Americans all my life, so respond positively to John, Charles, Chuck, James - it's easier that way…..

So big thumbs up for my future wife  She tried to call me "Andreas" from our first day… with mixed results

really want to, but atm. i don't want to pay full retail for one…

I hear that - I kept watching ebay and found a new pair of acorn stows for under $400 USD.  Just takes the normal obsessive ebay scanning that we already do all the time anyway heh

Sierra Trading Post is a good source for Tricker's. I bought some short wings from STP but the last just didn't work for me. I would really like to be able try various styles on somewhere but I have no options locally. I keep tabs on eBay but not being able to return them is a big deterrent.

^Yeah, just watch their insane shipping prices.

Ordered a sweater from them this week, $16.95 for UPS Ground - yikes!

I m still confusing between Red or Navy blue. Should I exchange with Navy Blue? Pls advice me.

[Seul]

I like the red ones better…

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Take both and looks like you are off to go bowling

Red

[Chris]

Red, definitely.

[Bums_Fan]

The reeeeeddddd ones!

How do you guys 'dress' the reddish edge/welt on acron stows?

Is there a polish or something that matches the color that can be used for touch ups?

[Giles]

I'd use light tan polish, but any shade of tan would do.  You really can't feck the edge, it's side grain, so will 'age" quicker than the rest of the boot/shoe.  You could put ox-blood on that and it it was too dark/wrong colour, in a week it wouldn't be….

Thanks G!
