The Bourton is our definitive heavy country shoe, instantly recognisable by its wingtip design and substantial profile. Built on the 4444 last, it offers a generous, roomy fit that has been a staple of the Tricker's collection for decades. In this Champagne Waxy Commander finish, the shoe moves away from the polished city aesthetic and into a world of pure, functional endurance.
Waxy Commander: The Stead Standard Tanned by C.F. Stead in Leeds, Waxy Commander is a "shrunk" suede that is saturated with waxes during the tanning process.
-
Champagne Colourway: A pale, earthy sand tone that highlights the rugged, uneven texture of the leather.
-
Natural Water Resistance: The deep wax impregnation ensures the leather is naturally water-repellent, making it the ideal choice for wet British winters.
-
Tough Character: This leather is designed to be lived in; it does not require precious handling and only looks better as it gains character marks.
Technical Build: Barbour Welt & Vi-Lite This edition of the Bourton features a specific combination of premium components to ensure it remains lightweight despite its rugged appearance.
-
Barbour Welt: This shoe is constructed with a Barbour welt, a specialised storm welt that provides an even more robust and decorative watertight seal between the upper and the sole.
-
Vibram Vi-Lite Sole: To maintain a featherweight feel, the shoe is fitted with a Vibram Vi-Lite sole. This expanded rubber compound offers the commanding look of a heavy tread with exceptional shock absorption and significantly reduced weight.
-
Full Leather Lining: The interior is fully lined with soft natural leather for breathability and comfort.
-
Essential Care Tips for Waxy Commander
-
Cleaning: Use a stiff brush to remove dried mud and dust.
-
Restoration: If the leather looks dry, apply a specialised wax-based conditioner to restore water-repellency.
-
Drying: Always allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature.
-
Embrace the Scuffs: Small scratches can often be rubbed out with a warm thumb to redistribute the internal waxes.

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.
