Bourton Country Shoe - Black Buffalo (Tricker's Exclusive)

The Bourton is the undisputed king of the English country shoe, and in this Black Alb Buffalo finish, it takes on a formidable, modern edge. Built on the voluminous 4444 last, it maintains the bold, oversized character and wingtip broguing that Tricker’s is famous for, but swaps the rural aesthetic for something far more industrial. Black Alb Buffalo: Sourced from the Swabian Alb mountain range in Germany, this leather is designed to endure. Deep Matte Finish: The oiled treatment gives the Black Buffalo a rich, matte appearance that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. Tactile Grain: The printing process emphasizes the buffalo’s naturally rugged and coarse grain, providing a texture you can feel and that stands up to heavy use. Sustainable Strength: Olivvia® tanned using olive leaf extract, this leather is completely metal-free and environmentally sustainable, without sacrificing any of its legendary mountain-bred toughness. To ground this blackout build, we’ve fitted it with a Ridgeway Rubber Sole. This British-made sole provides exceptional stability on slick pavements or muddy tracks, while the natural leather storm welt provides a striking visual contrast against the black upper. This is a shoe for those who demand ultimate performance in a contemporary, low-profile silhouette. The Description The Leather We're introducing a new, high quality European leather for this addition, the Buffalo. Born in the Swabian Alb mountain range in and around Hohenstien, Germany, the Alb Buffalo soon became part of the incredible landscape. Known as a tough and resilient leather, Alb Buffalo features hides that are Olivvia Tanned and fully sustainable as well as being exclusive to Trickers. At Tricker's, we source the finest leather on the market. Tricker’s fans will appreciate the quality and durability of the Alb Buffalo leather and this hide is particularly special. 100 pairs worth of hide were made exclusively available to Trickers and the skins are printed and then oiled to give a luxurious texture and handle. Combine that with its tough and rugged nature, Alb Buffalo leather provides unmatched durability and resilience. Need more help? Try our Live Chat . The Fit This last has been used for decades. It is part of our history and character as England's oldest shoe manufacturer. The size (length fitting) of Tricker’s footwear made on this last (4444) is larger than a regular UK size by half a size. If you are unsure of your UK size, use our size guide to convert your known size to a UK size. Then take off half a size. So if you normally take a UK size 8 (equivalent to US size 9, Japan size 27 and EU size 42), we recommend you order a size 7½ and so on. Need more help? Try our Fit Assistant or contact our Live Chat . The Sole The Ridgeway Sole - The Ridgeway sole originated with the idea of a gentleman being able to utilise his most comfortable brogues on the golf course. A hard-wearing rubber sole characterised by protruding lugs and large ridge channels that offer great traction and stability. Ridgeway soles are more lightweight than commando soles but are thicker than Dainite boot soles and have a slightly raised profile. These are an excellent all-purpose sole that performs well in nearly every condition. Need more help? Try our Live Chat .
