The Woodstock is a clean-fronted Derby shoe that focuses on structural integrity and protection. Built on the 4497s last, it provides a structured and supportive fit through the heel and waist, mirroring the internal profile of our country boots. This edition features a 4-eyelet configuration, offering a secure fastening and a classic Derby profile.
Buffalo Leather: Natural Resilience Sourced for its inherent strength, Buffalo leather is utilised for its hard-wearing properties and distinct visual character.
Organic Grain: The "shrunken" grain of the Buffalo hide is pronounced, providing a tactile, matte finish that is naturally resilient to daily wear.
Black & Brown Colourways: Available in Black and Brown, both finishes highlight the natural high-low variations of the leather's texture.
Supple Performance: While visually robust, Buffalo leather is pliable, allowing the shoe to adapt to the wearer's foot while maintaining its shape.
Technical Build: Lightweight Versatility This edition is engineered to provide the durability of a country shoe with a significantly lighter footprint.
Vibram Vi-Lite Sole: Grounded by a Vibram Vi-Lite sole, this expanded rubber compound provides a commanding profile with superior shock absorption and reduced weight.
Half Bellows Tongue: A half bellows tongue is folded and attached to the upper, creating a functional seal to prevent water and debris from entering through the lace eyelets.
Storm Welt Construction: A robust Goodyear storm welt provides a watertight seal at the junction between the upper and the sole unit.

"The Woodstock is a beautifully made plain derby shoe. Thank you to all the Trickers factory shoemakers that create such a good product. They are comfortable and sturdy. I look forward to many years of wear!"
"My 2nd pair of Trickers just can’t believe how comfortable they are and quality is first class."
"Ho avuto quello che mi aspettavo da tticker’s. Come sempre. Ottimo prodotto."
"Beautiful shoes, comfortable, well made. The best I've ever owned."
"Woodstock Country Shoes are true to size. They are sublime to the eye and easy to walk in. I can wholly recommend these shoes."
"These are incredible. I wear them with a suit, and they look perfect. Anyone who tells you that open laces can't be worn with tailoring is not worth listening too. Do not hesitate."
"I found these shoes to be comfortable straight out of the box. They are perfect for a bit of light rambling along footpaths and fields, and also smart enough for a few pints in the local pub. They will last for years, probably outlive me!"
"Very well made, stylish and fairly comfortable from the off. Will be back for more."
"Perfect!"
