description Tricker's Bourton Derby Overview
The Bourton is a classic men's derby shoe manufactured by the Northampton-based English shoemaker Tricker's, which was established in 1829. It is constructed as a heavy, full-brogue country shoe, distinguished by its substantial silhouette and use of a double leather sole. The shoe is built using a Goodyear welt, allowing for resoling and ensuring long-term durability. It is targeted toward consumers seeking traditional, robust footwear for rural or rugged environments.
help Tricker's Bourton Derby FAQ
How does the Tricker's Bourton fit compared with a normal UK shoe?
The Bourton's 4444 last runs roughly half a UK size larger than a regular Tricker's fit. Tricker's therefore advises many buyers to size down by half a size, although foot width and sock thickness still matter.
Why is the Bourton called a country shoe?
Its full brogue pattern, broad 4444 last, storm-style welt and substantial sole come from footwear made for wet English country conditions. The result is heavier and rounder than a sleek city derby.
Can a Tricker's Bourton be resoled?
Yes. The shoe uses welted construction, allowing a skilled repairer or Tricker's own service to replace a worn sole without discarding the upper.
Does every Bourton come with a double leather sole?
The classic Bourton is strongly associated with a stiff double leather sole, but Tricker's also sells variants with Dainite or other rubber soles. Buyers should check the exact leather, last and sole specification for the selected colorway.
