The Bourton is our definitive heavy country shoe, instantly recognisable by its wingtip design and substantial profile. Built on the 4444 last, it offers a generous, roomy fit that has been a staple of the Tricker's collection for decades. In this Champagne Waxy Commander finish, the shoe moves away from the polished city aesthetic and into a world of pure, functional endurance.
Waxy Commander: The Stead Standard Tanned by C.F. Stead in Leeds, Waxy Commander is a "shrunk" suede that is saturated with waxes during the tanning process.
-
Champagne Colourway: A pale, earthy sand tone that highlights the rugged, uneven texture of the leather.
-
Natural Water Resistance: The deep wax impregnation ensures the leather is naturally water-repellent, making it the ideal choice for wet British winters.
-
Tough Character: This leather is designed to be lived in; it does not require precious handling and only looks better as it gains character marks.
Technical Build: Barbour Welt & Vi-Lite This edition of the Bourton features a specific combination of premium components to ensure it remains lightweight despite its rugged appearance.
-
Barbour Welt: This shoe is constructed with a Barbour welt, a specialised storm welt that provides an even more robust and decorative watertight seal between the upper and the sole.
-
Vibram Vi-Lite Sole: To maintain a featherweight feel, the shoe is fitted with a Vibram Vi-Lite sole. This expanded rubber compound offers the commanding look of a heavy tread with exceptional shock absorption and significantly reduced weight.
-
Full Leather Lining: The interior is fully lined with soft natural leather for breathability and comfort.
-
Essential Care Tips for Waxy Commander
-
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.
