"These boots are excellent! Once I got the soles broken in a bit, the fit was spot on and the boots are very comfortable. The leather uppers are very thick, which caught me a bit off guard, but now that I have worn the, the uppers are just want I ordered. My only complaint is I bought the boots in the summer. I can't wait to wear them in the upcoming winter weather"
"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."
"They are built to a very good standard, the stitches on my pair at least are flawless you can really tell they take pride in their craftsmanship. I have only had it for a short time so I cannot comment on how the leather will age but I predict the black leather won't change colour or patina at all I think it will stay deep black forever. The boot is very comfortable I often buy boots like these on a wider lady but they did not offer the wider last on the leather sole, but even so it fits well maybe a tad snug because of my unique wider feet I usually wear triple E's from brands which use the branock sizing. The standard last seems to be plenty of roomy and wide. I went up half a size from my true UK shoe size and got a 9 to account for this and it fits very well I would therefore label this last true to size. My only improvement would be to do the half insole liner differently either omitt it entirely or add a full length sock liner as on one of my boots it started to peel off when I took the boot of for the first time so it will only get worse but it's not a massive issue at all I just sometimes yank my boots of my feet if your more delicate maybe others wont peel of or it will take much longer. Overall my pair is made to a really high standard and right now I cannot see it not lasting a very long time but my journey is just beginning."
"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."
"The leather is amazing and they fit like a glove!. . I bought these boot because they are the original country boot. They are also a classical style that will always be fashionable"
"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"
