Description

The Tricker's x Division Road C.F. Stead Ebony Waxed Kudu Churchill Boot is an exclusive collaboration with the definitive maker of English Country footwear and uses a premium blackened brown, full-weight Waxed Kudu upper paired with a Goodyear Commando sole. This Division Road exclusive style utilizes a Waxed Kudu by the storied C.F. Stead, known for their specialized tanning process of these South African antelope hides that are remarkably flexible, strong, and have distinct grain characteristics unique to wild animals. The hides are enhanced with a subtle wax application that yields a matte finish with pull-up qualities and an added layer of protection. The Churchill is similar to an Officer’s battle dress boot with a high quarter, curved peak counter, cap toe, and ridgeline pinking throughout. All Tricker's undergo 260 individual steps in which craftspeople include a mulling concoction to infuse the uppers with oils, a wooden shank, a corking compound from a century-old recipe, and exquisite English finishing. This Churchill's robust silhouette is achieved by using the 4497s Last, which creates a substantial yet elegant design that accommodates a variety of foot types. This results in a simple battlefield-to-Broadway focused boot that combines country footwear build-quality with a modern form, made to the refined craftsmanship standards expected from a Tricker's. This boot takes a British classic to new heights while acting as a foundation for any ensemble with its dark brown leather storm welt and midsole atop a British-made Goodyear Commando sole, complemented with corresponding dark brown eyelets, heel pull, and French binding. As England's oldest shoemaker, Royal warrant holder, originator of the country boot, and one of the first and few still utilizing traditional Goodyear welting to the highest standards of quality in the industry, a Tricker's truly is made to last a lifetime in all conditions.
