We are releasing the Corbett walking boot to celebrate our 195 year anniversary - to give Tricker's customers the chance to wear a pair of sustainable,Goodyear welted, handmade Northampton walking boots.

ACorbettisa Scottish mountain over 2,500 feet and under 3,000 feet with a drop of at least 500 feet between each listed hill and any adjacent higher one.There are 222 summits classified asaCorbett, and they are named after J R Corbett, who originally listed them;he was one of the founder-members of The Rucksack Club in 1902 with the object “To facilitate walking tours and mountaineering expeditions, both in the British Isles and elsewhere”.

To make this venture even more special,Tricker’scommissioned a brand new last to be made by Springline,last1961. 1961 is a unisexlast, asmodelledby Adele, our Master Shoemaker, and Michael James, Springline's one and onlylastman, both of whom are wearing the walking boot in our promotional video. The last time that Tricker's commissioned a newlastwas to celebrate the coronation of King George VI; thisproducedour iconic 4444 and 4497s lasts, used for the Bourton and the Stow.

Corbett is a 6 fit, which is traditionally a wide fitting. However, when you go for a long walk, your body swells, particularly your feet and hands. Walking boots need to allow for more width while your feet swell for comfort,particularly asthey'regoing to be on your feet for a long time. Traditionally, hiking socks are quite thick. The 6-width allows for both a thick hiking sock and a foot that has increased in size due to exercise. This is a boot that is for everyone.
