Tricker's

[Geo]

wow - certainly weighed in with the good stuff there nameness

[nameness]

Thanks.  Just trying to eliminate the trials & tribulations I had to go through to get things right.  Buying shoes without being able to try them on is a real pain in the ass.

[Geo]

agree on the sizing - I am UK9 and 8.5 fits nicely

outwith the country ranges sizing is a little closer so you'd probably go back up to your normal size

[GuyH]

Great info above.  Agree on sizing as well.

my-wardrobe stock Tricker's as well in the UK.  Not sure where they ship to.

i think the best option for fitting/advice/accessories is to stick with the 'traditional gentlemens outfitters'

the other shops don't have the knowledge . . . but do have the on trend stuff - vibrams soles etc

nameness…..how would you compare to alden truebalance last?

[nameness]

True Balance runs half a size large also.

Broken down:

My true size: 9.5 US
My Alden True Balance size: 9 US
My Tricker's Stow size: 8.5 UK (9 US)

I think we're the same size so that should work for you too.

[riffblaster general]

perfect!  thanks man!!

[Tripleterror]

Stompin' !!! 

[ampersandwich]

I've been emailing back & forth with Richard from The Shoe Healer (who has been very helpful btw) regarding the sizing of the Stow boot. Brannock devices put me at a US 11C, my only proper dress shoes, a pair of Florsheim Kenmoors, are a US 11D, and my Clarks DBs are a US 10.5. Richard says could wear a 9.5 or 10, fitting 5, depending. Anyone here have advice that might sway me one way or the other?  Thanks!

[nameness]

Go 10 UK, you'll be set.

[ampersandwich]

10 UK it is. I think not having anywhere in Chicago to try these on is causing me to waffle even more than usual. Thanks for the advice.

[Seul]

Hmmm they look SO good lad!..

[nameness]

Awesome!  That Acorn color looks so great in person.

[GuyH]

Cheers fellas.  I couldn't be happier.  I just love the colour of them.

I got a really good deal on them.  I'm not affiliated with the seller so would be happy to pass on the details if the forum rules allow it?

[riffblaster general]

please do, or at least pm me!

[GuyH]

PM sent.  Happy to pass on details to others.
