How Trickers fits
Overall fit
runs large
Tricker's Goodyear-welted shoes are widely reported to run large and long, so buyers commonly take a half size down, and the sturdy country boots need a break-in period.
Tip: Most people size down half a size from their Brannock/US size, and often a full size from a typical sneaker size.
