The shoes are flawless. Very
"The shoes are flawless. Very well built, you see and feel the quality. I know I should have checked better before ordering, but came as a surprise that I had to pay 25% extra in the form of VAT when they arrived in Norway. Made them even more expensive and I'm in doubt if I would order again. Checked a little afterwards, and Tricker's is not part of some agreement that other shoemakers are part of, like in example Lennartsen. Probably due to GB not being part of the EU. Very good shoes though, maybe still worth the price. Happy they where the exact fit, the return process seemed complicated and with a cost."

Very Nice Shoe
"Wonderful shoe. I like them very much. Good fit, supportive, flexible. Thank you so much!"
Superb design, craftsmanship and comfort.
"Superb design, craftsmanship and comfort."
Super comfortable shoe. . . . . . .
"One of the best looking shoes without a doubt."
Ideal derbies for autumn & winter
"I go a half-size down from my usual fit with Trickers as the leather usually gives a bit. These derbies are amazing; robust classic design given a modern twist with the vertical stitch at the front. Surprisingly lightweight but don't let that deceive you as to the quality – these are a premium pair of shoes! (These were my fifth pair of Trickers and I fully expect each of them to last many years)."
Watch Out!
"Great quality shoes as normal. First time I have bought direct from Trickers on line. The photographs online line show the shoes to be a reddish/chestnut colour. I was however disappointed that they turned out to be basically brown although marketing had given the colour a fancy name of espresso which told me nothing. Espresso brown would have been more helpful. As I said great quality just watch out for unhelpful photos not presenting an accurate reflection of the shoes true colour. Amen."
Delighted with shoes and Tricker's service
"The apron and split toe seaming gives the Kilsby a distinctive Continental style which drew me to it. Although surprisingly light, it is solidly constructed and exemplifies Tricker's craftmanship. Customer service was helpful at all stages of the purchase. Would recommend."
"Great quality."
