The Woodstock is our classic plain-toe derby shoe, discarding brogueing and decorative stitching in favour of clean lines that highlight the shape of the last and the quality of the hide. Built on the legendary 4497s last—most famous for grounding our iconic country boots—it features a generous, accommodating fit with a high-walled toe box and a secure feel through the heel and waist. This combination brings a powerful, boot-like stability to a traditional shoe silhouette.
Sign Kudu Leather: Wild & Unique Kudu leather is sourced from wild African antelope, meaning every single pair carries its own distinctive story.
Natural Scarring & Character: Because these animals live in the wild, the hides feature natural scratches, scars, and blemishes incurred from grazing amongst briars and bushveld. These markings are deliberately left visible, ensuring no two shoes are identical.
Rich Sign Shade: The Sign colourway is a deep, warm reddish-brown with rich, multi-tonal pull-up characteristics. The leather shifts beautifully in colour intensity where it creases and flexes.
Supple Strength: Kudu is incredibly tough and resilient on the surface, yet remarkably soft, pliable, and comfortable on the foot from the very first wear.
Fully Leather Lined: Lined completely with premium calf leather for exceptional breathability and long-term structural integrity.
Technical Build: The All-Weather Foundation Engineered to tackle unpredictable weather and rugged landscapes with ease.
Ridgeway Rubber Sole: Grounded by a British-made Ridgeway sole, featuring a distinctive ridge pattern that provides exceptional grip, traction, and stability over wet pavements and muddy paths. The sole design keeps the profile neat from the side whilst offering serious outdoor capability.
Goodyear Storm Welt: Features a traditional storm welt, utilising an upturned leather rib along the base to create an enhanced watertight barrier against dirt and water.

"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!"
