Stitching is uniform and virtually perfect over the entire boot. The Tricker’s cobblers that run their Goodyear welding machine are absolute Masters at their trade. I’ll also note that the round Cotton laces are perfection. They don’t have a lot of stretch and are ideal for tensioning the closure exactly the way you want. Laces are an under appreciated detail that sets Tricker’s apart.

I choose the Stow boots again and again. They are a vibe. Their reputation is well earned and I go back to Tricker’s again and again for different leathers, colors, and configurations. Depending on leather and color-way, I can take these on a business trip and wear with a suit, and then out for cross country hikes the same evening. The Stow is durable, comfortable, and versatile.
I wear an 8.5E US on the brannock device. I size up to a UK 8 which is a US 9 in the standard width. I stay away from wide sizes in UK footwear because the heel becomes too roomy and unstable. Therefore I size up a half to US 9 and the extra length in the ball fits me perfectly while maintaining a nice secure heel fit.
