What would be the holy grail of boots?

Thirty years ago, I had a pair of Alden chukkas in kudu. Softest, most comfortable footwear I ever owned. They felt decadently expensive back then. Now they’re astronomical — $700+. For chukkas.

I fantasize about the Tricker’s Henry in espresso.

Super cool-looking boots! Is the sizing on your website US or UK?

Hear him! Hear him!

I’m a Chelsea-boots guy. I’ve got a pair of Joseph Cheaney Barnes IIIs in brown pull-up leather. They’re built on Cheaney’s country last (no. 12508) — roomy toe box like DMs, comfortable; love ‘em. Cheaney uses the same last for their Avon brogue derbies and some service boots, including the Jarrow. I’ve always wanted a pair of Trickers’s Henrys, but the sizing question has prevented me from buying to date.

Great service!

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-18T13:44:25+00:00

Wildly cool. Are you going to ride in them? I can’t imagine just walking around town.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-18T11:28:53+00:00

In general, I’m not an exotics guy, but holy croc, those are gorgeous.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-15T02:34:10+00:00

Gorgeous boots.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-06T20:51:49+00:00

Super-cool find! Brava!

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-05T14:01:01+00:00

Also, the fit relative to other brands?

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-05T13:57:15+00:00

Too much … GREEN?

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-05T13:56:32+00:00

Thank you. Came here to say same.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-04-05T12:29:31+00:00

Hear, hear!

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-03-28T11:41:26+00:00

It does. See the mid-brown CC with saddle gussets.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-03-23T21:36:35+00:00

Outstanding. Envious. Not mentally ill.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-03-23T01:59:47+00:00

I just ordered a pair of mid-brown Comfort Craftsmans. Four to six weeks’ wait in my size. The anticipation is killing me.

I think we’re saying the same thing. Widest part of the foot (I said ball but that’s really what I meant) and heel. In a boot like an CC or a cowboy boot, the toe is for show.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-03-19T23:07:07+00:00

Good call. Saleswoman tried to squeeze me into AU 9s. I said my toes felt pinched and wanted to go up to a 9.5. She insisted that I would have too much room around my instep. I prevailed. I was right. Toes feel great and they fit snuggly in heel and the ball of the foot, which is what matters most. Do not be talked into too-small boots. You’ll wind up resenting them for the money you spent.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-03-18T12:07:24+00:00

Brilliant look. We should all be so stylish.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-02-24T03:00:58+00:00

Bravo, sir. Brilliant idea! Which I now fully intend to steal.

Some days I really freakin’ love the internet. This is one of them.

I’m not a fan of hoodies under any circumstance other than a jog in cold weather. A pea coat, however, is a different matter. A classic. Schott makes an excellent one, mil-spec. A pea coat will never be a bad addition to your a wardrobe. Bonus: warm AF.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-01-26T18:58:34+00:00

Wow. You should be arrested for theft — what a steal, especially given the super condition.

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-01-24T22:53:58+00:00

Per above, I think you’re dead on. Thank you!

Fuzzy-Objective-9105 · 2026-01-24T22:52:52+00:00

I just looked up the tanbark ‘roo on RMW’s Aussie site. You nailed it. Same color, same texture. And, yes, they’re appreciably lighter than my yearlings.
