The Stow is our definitive seven-eyelet country boot, a design that has remained virtually unchanged for over 190 years. Built on the 4497s last, it provides a solid, supportive fit with a high ankle for maximum stability. In this Champagne Waxy Commander finish, the boot trades formal lustre for a matte, industrial aesthetic that is practically indestructible.
Waxy Commander: The Stead Standard This unique leather from C.F. Stead in Leeds is not merely water-resistant; it is water-repellent to its core.
-
Champagne Palette: The pale, sandy tone highlights the "shrunk" grain of the leather, giving each boot a unique, textured personality from the first wear.
-
Wax-Impregnated Resilience: Because the waxes are driven deep into the leather fibres during tanning, the Stow will not "wet out" even in heavy rain or mud.
-
Low Maintenance, High Character: This boot is designed to be worn hard; every scuff and mark adds to its story, and its original appearance can be easily restored with a simple application of wax.
Technical Build: Barbour Welt & Vi-Lite To ensure the Stow remains comfortable for all-day expeditions, we have utilised a lightweight technical foundation.
-
Barbour Welt: Features a specialised Barbour welt, providing a substantial, decorative, and highly effective watertight seal between the upper and the sole unit.
-
Vibram Vi-Lite Sole: Grounded by a Vibram Vi-Lite sole, this boot offers the rugged profile of a heavy tread with a surprisingly lightweight feel and superior shock absorption.
-
Full Leather Lining: The interior is fully lined with premium natural leather, ensuring the boot remains breathable and comfortable throughout its long life.
-
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
Country Boot
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.
