Classic British shoes made using traditional methods.
1829 | NORTHAMPTON, ENGLAND | Joseph Tricker

Tricker's, the shoemaker known for its wingtip shoes, has its roots in the "Burltop" brand, founded in 1829 by Joseph Burltop. After the business was passed down to the second generation, Walter James Burltop, the brand name was changed to "Tricker's," taking the name from his wife's maiden name, in order to make it more approachable.

Even within Northampton, England, known as the mecca of leather shoes, this brand has a long history, having been family-run for approximately 190 years and five generations. Their dedication has been recognized, and they are one of the few brands to have been granted a Royal Warrant by three members of the British Royal Family: Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince Charles. They enjoy a high reputation not only in the UK but also around the world.

Among the many wingtip shoes available, the most famous is undoubtedly Tricker's flagship product, the Country Boot. The "Epson" model is particularly popular in Europe among the brand's dress wingtip shoes. Characterized by its moderately rounded toe silhouette and restrained welt, it retains Tricker's signature robust construction and classic feel, making it a versatile shoe that can be worn with everything from suits to casual wear.

Since its founding, the brand has consistently used a benchmade process, where a single craftsman completes over 200 steps to create each pair of shoes, embodying the traditional craftsmanship of Britain.
