The Bourton is the undisputed icon of the Tricker’s collection, and in this Zonta Caribou finish, it takes on a contemporary, tonal aesthetic. Built on the voluminous 4444 last, it retains its signature "full-bodied" profile and intricate wingtip broguing, but presents them in a soft, understated light.
Castorino Suede: The Velvety Standard Sourced from the renowned Zonta tannery, Castorino suede is celebrated for its exceptionally fine grain and consistent nap.
Caribou Colourway: A soft, stone-grey "Caribou" tone that provides a neutral, modern alternative to traditional tans and browns.
Tactile Elegance: The suede offers a short, dense nap that feels luxurious to the touch while remaining surprisingly resilient for daily wear.
Precision Broguing: The clean, smooth surface of the Castorino suede allows the detailed perforations and serrated edges of the Bourton’s wingtip design to stand out with sharp clarity.
Technical Foundation Despite its elegant upper, this Bourton remains a true country shoe at heart. It is fitted with a Dainite Rubber Sole, providing discrete traction and a streamlined profile that is perfectly suited for city pavements and formal settings alike. The shoe is finished with a dark, contrasting storm welt and tonal stitching, grounding the light Caribou upper with a sense of structural authority.

"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!!"
"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"
"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."
"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)."
"Very comfortable to walk in and incredibly wearable also during summer. The style is great, but don't trust the colour on the website preview: it's actually much more similar to "acorn antique" hue."
"Like all Bourtons, it's a sturdy well made shoe, despite being a 'rough out' the leather isn't as thick as you would find in an American heritage brand but that's not an issue really, just a heads up. No spare laced though which is a pity."
"My first pair of trickers, and now definitely won’t be my last. Very comfortable straight out the box and no wearing in needed."
"I have many Bourton shoes in various colors. But it’s great to have a pair with the Vi-Lite sole. They are so practical and comfortable for the days I have to walk long distances in a city but still need to look sharp and dressed."
