What are the six characteristics of the Trickers “Woodstock” external plain toe shoe?

Tricker’s “Woodstock” feature ④ “Double sole specification to increase cushioning and durability

The “double sole,” which is common to almost all Trickers models, is a leather midsole sandwiched between the sole and outsole to improve durability and cushioning. The disadvantage is that the sole is surprisingly hard and has a poor return, making it difficult to walk in until the leather becomes accustomed to the footwear. However, as the shoes become accustomed to wear, the bad warping disappears, and the leather ages flexibly, improving the warping and cushioning, making the shoes feel more like sneakers.

The edges of the leather prevent the leather from slipping and wearing down, and also prevent the leather from stretching out. In particular, the footwear opening is a place where the leather tends to lose its shape due to slippage and stretching when the wearer puts on and takes off the shoes. The piping treatment has the effect of preventing these problems. This is one of the many ways in which Tricker’s, also known as “shoes for a lifetime,” demonstrates the care and sincerity of its craftsmanship.
