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: 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: 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.
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.

"Bought the Stow Tropical Sunrise boots in UK 10. 5 (normally between 10. 5 and 11 UK shoe size) fits perfectly and leather looks amazing, I’ve not seen anything like it , it’s wonderful. Build and material quality is outstanding and a credit to UK shoe industry. Looking forward to wearing them."
"Really well made shoes, beautiful leather. These boots are going to take some breaking in but you can tell they will last a lifetime, suitable for rebuilding in about 10 years time! The customer service people were great, they tracked down a pair in a wide fitting in my size that wasn’t available elsewhere."
"The quality of these products is unbeatable. The Stow fits well and feels substantial. I’ve just got my third pair, in Kudu, they’re beautiful. All handmade in England. Brilliant."
"Chaussures magnifique avec un confort incroyable au premier porté. Je suis très fière d'avoir fait le choix de la maison Tricker's pour mes premières bottines de cette qualité"
"Finally bit the bullet and bought my first pair , Stow country boot , dark brown Cheyanne . Love at first sight ! The fit is perfect!!!"
"Beautiful color and fit, comfortable out of the box"
"These are amazing. Straight out the box they looked great quality. I was worried about wearing them and breaking them in. But my worries were unfounded. Day 1 wore them all day and the were so comfortable and this will only get better. The softness and thickness of the leather feel superior to any other boot I own. Very happy"
"Perfect fit and very nice leather"
"Livraison hyper rapide"
"This is my 4th Stow, 9th Tricker’s boot, and easily one of the standouts in my collection. The Brown Buffalo leather is outstanding, rich, full of character, and even better in person than in photos. As expected, the quality is top notch. I’m glad I didn’t miss this one. I was able to grab the last pair in my size."
