The Burford is a clean-fronted, seven-eyelet Derby boot that has been a cornerstone of the Tricker’s collection for generations. Built on the 4497s last—the definitive boot last—it provides a solid, supportive fit with a high ankle for maximum stability. This is a boot designed for endurance, whether navigating rugged rural terrain or the demands of the city.
Buffalo Leather: Natural Resilience Sourced for its unique aesthetic and inherent strength, Buffalo leather is the perfect match for the Burford's utilitarian profile.
-
Organic Grain: The "shrunken" grain of the Buffalo hide is more pronounced than standard calf, giving each boot a tactile, matte finish that is naturally hard-wearing.
-
Black & Brown Colourways: Available in a deep, classic Black and a rich, earthy Brown, both finishes highlight the high-low variations of the leather's natural texture.
-
Supple Strength: While visually robust, Buffalo leather is surprisingly pliable, ensuring a comfortable break-in period without sacrificing the boot's structural integrity.
Technical Build: Lightweight Protection This edition of the Burford is engineered to feel as light as a shoe while offering the protection of a heavy-duty boot.
-
Vibram Vi-Lite Sole: Grounded by a Vibram Vi-Lite sole, this expanded rubber compound provides the commanding aesthetic of a commando tread but with a "featherweight" feel and exceptional shock absorption.
-
Full Bellows Tongue: A full bellows tongue is expertly folded and attached to the upper, creating a continuous leather barrier that prevents water, mud, and debris from entering through the eyelets.
-
Storm Welt Construction: A robust Goodyear storm welt provides an additional watertight seal at the critical junction between the upper and the sole unit.
