"A True fit comfortable , and Practical Shoe."
Robert is comfortable and hard-wearing and has the timeless look of a stylish derby shoe. The Robert Derby shoe can be identified by its “open” lacing system, meaning that its eyelet tabs are stitched on top of the shoe’s vamp.
With its “open lace” construction, the Robert is suitable for a wider fit and higher in-step. This ensures more comfort compared to an Oxford shoe which has a tighter lacing system.
The Robert is classic and comfortable and like many of our styles they are very suitable for formal occasions and their sleek and simplistic appearance lends itself well to casual and smart casual outfits. As such, derby shoes can work just as well with a pair of jeans as they can with wool trousers.

I'm a fan- great casual shoe
"Were a little tight on the width but relaxed after wearing them around house and feel great. Great color and Trickers customer service was responsive when I reached out with a few questions."

"Well, they're brilliant. That's all."
Robert Derby Shoe
"Fantastic purchase and definitely will look forward to wearing it for many memories and years to come. Runs slightly larger as I based on the size chart to order but feel my feet swimming in the shoe, added a thin insole but then felt too tight (should eventually work as the shoe tends to expand over a day of wearing) Thinking if I should size down for my next purchase and would definitely have stronger reservations on buying a loafer which all look great but I’m sure won’t fit for me based on the current size I bought."
Amazing Pair of Shoes
"The shoes are very stylish, they work well pair of jeans or pair of wool pants. Whenever I wear these shoes to the pub or around town I get compliments or people ask where I purchased these shoes. I love the last in these shoes that I purchased in Brown as well and have had compliments on them as well."

Robert Derby Shoe - Ciligio (Cherry) Castorino Sue
"Just purchased my first pair of Tricker's shoes. Wow!! Really great presentation in the box, complete with shoe bags. Colour is really lovely, as is the suede nap and finish. How do they fit? Brilliantly. I'm a 9 (EU 43) and they're a great fit. Almost don't know that I've got them on. Won't be my last pair of Tricker's shoes."
