Bourton is our iconic men’s country shoe. These handmade shoes are a piece of Tricker's Northampton shoemaking history, and yet today they are the go-to shoe for men all around the world. The Bourton is unmistakable - a heavy Derby shoe that bears the brogue detailing synonymous with true country shoes. A half bellows tongue is folded and attached to the shoe to provide a watertight seal, and the storm welt provides an additional watertight seal between the shoe's upper and sole. The profile of a Bourton is characteristically strong.

"Classic Bourton quality. The chestnut burnished leather has excellent depth and character, and the construction is exactly what I expect from Tricker’s. The double leather sole is very substantial and takes a little time to break in, but once it does, the shoe becomes extremely comfortable and feels built to last."
"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."
"My first Bourton on a double leather sole, and it definitely took a little getting used to. It feels noticeably more substantial and rigid at first, but after some wear it begins to settle in nicely. The Cubana Castorino suede has a great texture and depth, and the shoe feels every bit as solid as it looks."
"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!!"
"The ultimate level of craftsmanship. These shoes define what can be accomplished by the finest Shoemaker working with the absolute best materials."
"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."
