For some of our readers in the UK, Tricker's might seem like an old man's brand but a lot of us in North America are more familiar with the brand through it's Japanese market and interesting collaborations, creating a much better stigma as noted in the comments. No matter where you're from or what your initial thoughts on Tricker's is, there is no doubting their high quality footwear and when you can track down a model like this Burford boot, it's hard to say you wouldn't wear these. I know I don't want to wait until I'm 40... These are some of my favorite boots I've seen recently with the tonal soles looking especially nice. I especially would like a pair of brown boots and at 200 Pounds, these aren't too bad of a deal. Although not cheap, the quality and classic style will last years down the road.

beautiful boots.
those could work in a contemporary style, they are pricey though.
Trickers are qual-lit-tee, though
I live in London and I think a lot of those comments about Tricker's being an old man's shoe were pretty misguided.
I like that they maintain a traditional outlook and as you've shown, if you look beyond this, they make great shoes. They understand who their customer is and their range reflects that. To me this isn't dull, it shows the strength of their product and maintains a sense of history.
I think brands like this attract collaborators because of what they represent and the depth of quality they can bring. Tricker's know their strengths so their own range offers one thing and the collaborations offer another. Between the two they provide a range of options without watering down their heritage.
I'll boots.. I'll take a black pair please, selvedge and flannel, here we come!
"A much better stigma"? Stigma means a negative association, a mark of disgrace, something that makes others see you as undesirable or discredited. Saying "a better stigma" is a bit like saying "a slightly less painful punch in the face": it's still not a good thing.
