English heritage shoemaker known for Goodyear-welted leather boots and brogues, sold at a discount through its Factory Store for cosmetic seconds.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Considered proper buy-it-for-life footwear; Tricker's services and repairs old purchases, and its Factory Store offers slight-imperfection seconds at a discount.

    Trickers and Church's do a Factory Store for 'seconds' with slight imperfections. They're proper BIFL and will service old purchases.
