The Daniel is Tricker’s quintessential tramping shoe, built for those who value endurance and comfort over long distances. What sets the Daniel apart is its "double vamp and counters" construction - effectively a shoe within a shoe. This creates a seamless internal environment that minimises friction, making it the ideal choice for dedicated walking and exploration.
Alb Buffalo: Heritage from the Highlands Sourced from the Swabian Alb mountain range in Germany, this Brown Alb Buffalo leather is naturally engineered for resilience. The hide is a reflection of the rugged terrain from which it originates.
-
Olivvia® Tanned: This leather undergoes a specialised tanning process using olive leaf extract, ensuring it is completely metal-free and environmentally sustainable while retaining its immense strength.
-
Tonal Depth: The Brown edition showcases the buffalo's unique grain with incredible clarity. The leather is printed and then oiled, resulting in a waxy, supple handle and a rich, earthy tone that reveals different shades of mahogany and amber as it flexes.
-
Resilient Nature: Known for its flexibility and superior breathability, Alb Buffalo leather is remarkably tough. Its high oil content provides natural protection against the elements, allowing the shoe to develop a seasoned patina that honors its mountain heritage.
Engineered Stability Built on the 4497s last, the Daniel provides the classic, sturdy silhouette of a traditional country shoe. To ensure it can handle any terrain, it is fitted with a Ridgeway Rubber Sole. This British-made sole is famous for its raised lugs that provide exceptional grip on uneven ground without the heavy profile of a commando sole. Finished with a Goodyear Barbour welt and brass hardware, this is a shoe built for the long haul.
