These are a generous fit and therefore typically larger by half a size. If you normally take a UK size 8, we recommend you try a size 7½.

"The double leather sole takes a little time to become flexible but the uppers softened up really quickly and I was able to wear them all day long in less than a week. They are beautifully made and I find these particular shoes very versatile. Delivery was very fast and I was kept informed from start to finish. I would definitely recommend and will be purchasing some Stow boots in the future."
"Bought these in Trickers sale and a few other items. Absolutely delighted with the Bourton Cubana Castorno’s fantastic look and fit great. Normal size UK 11 but went UK 10. 5 and perfect all round. Will be back!!"
"Excellent fit and superb quality craftsmanship, as expected. Not the first pair of shoes from Trickers ( 1st was in the late 70’s) and every time perfect!!"
"Having owned Loake, Barker and Church’s shoes. This is my 6th pair of Trickers. They are by far the superior shoe. Durable, quality shoes. Remember you spend most of your life in two things you purchase your bed and shoes. So spending a bit more on a quality product is essential ."
"Wow, I’ve not seen or had a shoe that comes anywhere near what I have purchased, craftsmanship is second to none. Excellent all round, I’m 63 years young knowing quality as the Bourton Country Shoe is will probably see me out!! Regards Dave Ambler"
"Everything about this pair is fantastic: the build quality, design, color, soles…. These shoes are built like tanks. They were very stiff and took a while to break in but they are starting to become very comfortable - well worth the effort, and they’ll probably outlast me. They run quite large but the size guide is very accurate. I am a size 11 in most US shoes and I wear a 10 in these."
"Another pair of trickers purchased, Bourton are my personal favourite, the Nastor Brown are especially handsome,The Bourton is such a versatile shoe, it's robust and refined can be dressed up or worn with jeans and a rugby shirt, ready to wear straight out the box and extremely comfortable, I'd recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a very high quality all-rounder that will last them a lifetime."
"These are my third pair of Bourtons been wearing them since the late 90's. Might be deemed in some quarters as unstylish - but not to my eyes. Great build quality by British crafts people in a British factory and these days that is something to value. Trickers are a cut above the other Northamptonshire shoe companies and a notch below going the full custom eg John Lobb. What appears 'expensive' is I think good value for money because I'll get at least ten years minimum from these shoes. Also a good online service - package sent very promptly and securely. Recommended."
"This shoe exceeds my expectations, the workmanship, materials and fit were exceptional. I only wish you had more offerings in the ‘6’ fitting width."
"I love my Bourtons. This is my sixth pair. They fit my feet so well. From the time I first put them on, they are as comfortable as slippers. Some of my older pairs have Dainite soles which are very durable. These new Vibram soles are fantastic - they make a great shoe even better. I wish Trickers made more Bourtons with the Vibrams. The Vibrams are lighter and make the shoes even more comfortable, particularly for a long day of walking. When you buy them (which I strongly recommend!), remember that the last on the Bourtons means that you need to go down half a size (I’m normally a 9 but I take an 8. 5 in Bourtons)."
