The Matlock takes the immovable spirit of the Tricker’s Country Boot and distills it into a robust Cap-Toe Derby. It is designed for those who require the legendary protection of a storm-welted boot but prefer the freedom and versatility of a shoe. This isn't just a "plain" derby; the added cap-toe stitching provides an extra layer of structure and a nod to traditional workwear aesthetics.
Nut Brown Horween: Depth and Durability
Crafted from Nut Brown Horween, this leather offers a deeper, more saturated starting point than the Natural version.
The Look: A rich, mahogany-toned hue that glows with a natural luster.
The Feel: Packed with oils and waxes, this leather is remarkably supple for its thickness, offering a "broken-in" feel almost immediately. It handles moisture and mud with ease, buffing back to a beautiful sheen after a long day in the field.
The "6" Fitting: Room to Breathe
Built on the iconic 4497s last but executed in a 6 Fitting, the Matlock is the "Wide Receiver" of the collection. This generous fit is specifically designed for those who find standard UK fittings too restrictive, providing ample room across the forefoot without sacrificing the secure "lockdown" at the heel.
Commanding Presence
Equipped with a Commando Rubber Sole, the Matlock is prepared for the worst of the British weather. The deep lugs provide relentless traction on loose or slippery surfaces, while the natural leather welt and storm welt construction ensure your feet stay dry and stable, no matter the terrain.

LAST NO: 4497s
This last has been used for decades. It is part of our history and character as England's oldest shoe manufacturer. The size (length fitting) of Tricker’s footwear made on this last (4497s) is true to size, we recommend sticking to your regular UK size. If you are unsure of your UK size, use our size guide to convert your known size to a UK size.
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.
