R.E. Tricker Limited was founded in 1829 by master shoemaker Joseph Tricker. Five generations later, his family continues to apply the same uncompromising standards of craftsmanship and traditional skills in the production of their world-renowned shoes. A reputation for outstanding manufacturing, quality and durability established Tricker’s as the maker of choice for heavy country boots and shoes for farm and estate owners to the landed gentry. These styles were later adapted for hunting, shooting and even for wear in town. Around the turn of the century, Tricker’s introduced the Jermyn Street collection and in 1925 we opened a store on London’s Jermyn Street. Unrivalled in quality, personality and character, Tricker’s footwear is to this day made entirely in our Northampton shoe factory, where we also offer full in-house bespoke, made-to-measure and repair services. We are honoured to hold a Royal Warrant bestowed by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, since 1996.
