Description

The Tricker's x Division Road C.F. Stead Indigo Desert Oasis Suede Monty Chukka is an exclusive collaboration with the definitive maker of English Country footwear, using a premium, full-weight suede upper paired with a Vibram 2060 sport sole. This Division Road exclusive style utilizes the flesh side of steer hides, tanned in the UK by the storied C.F. Stead, known for making some of the finest suedes in the world. These full-weight hides have been aniline dyed for a natural color and brush sanded to a mild nap. The hides are heavily oiled in tanning, which results in a hearty and luxurious casual suede with outdoor-ready durability. The Monty Chukka is a Division Road adaptation of the new Tricker's Evedon style, turning back the clock with clean-lined refinement via a higher quarter and integrated counter pattern to yield a simple style where the hearty build and natural character of the leather are of primary focus. 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 heritage-inspired Monty Chukka'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 boardroom-to-boondocks focused boot that combines country footwear build-quality with a contemporary form, made to the refined craftsmanship standards expected from a Tricker's. From the tonally corresponding natural upper thread to the brass eyelets and natural leather Barbour storm welt atop a US-made Vibram 2060 industrial walking sole, this chukka takes a British new-classic to refined heights while acting as a solid base for any ensemble. 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.
