The Bourton is the undisputed king of the English country shoe, and in this Black Alb Buffalo finish, it takes on a formidable, modern edge. Built on the voluminous 4444 last, it maintains the bold, oversized character and wingtip broguing that Tricker’s is famous for, but swaps the rural aesthetic for something far more industrial.
Black Alb Buffalo: Resilience Reimagined Sourced from the Swabian Alb mountain range in Germany, this leather is designed to endure.
-
Deep Matte Finish: The oiled treatment gives the Black Buffalo a rich, matte appearance that absorbs light rather than reflecting it.
-
Tactile Grain: The printing process emphasizes the buffalo’s naturally rugged and coarse grain, providing a texture you can feel and that stands up to heavy use.
-
Sustainable Strength: Olivvia® tanned using olive leaf extract, this leather is completely metal-free and environmentally sustainable, without sacrificing any of its legendary mountain-bred toughness.
Unyielding Foundation To ground this blackout build, we’ve fitted it with a Ridgeway Rubber Sole. This British-made sole provides exceptional stability on slick pavements or muddy tracks, while the natural leather storm welt provides a striking visual contrast against the black upper. This is a shoe for those who demand ultimate performance in a contemporary, low-profile silhouette.

SHOE KNOWLEDGE
Brogues
LAST NO: 4444
These are a generous fit and therefore typically larger by half a size. If you normally take a UK size 8, we recommend you try a size 7½.
The last is a hard, three-dimensional form on which the shoe is constructed. Depending on the style of shoe we use different lasts, this is what dictates the overall shape, proportion, fit and character of the shoe.
