Daniel Tramping Shoe Buffalo

The Daniel is the definitive Tricker’s tramping shoe, a style traditionally built for the rigors of exploration and long-distance walking. Distinct from standard derby shoes, the Daniel is constructed with "double vamp and counters" - essentially a shoe within a shoe - resulting in a seamless, smooth interior that offers exceptional comfort. It is an honest, unflashy design that prioritises durability and function above all else. Alb Buffalo: Resilience from the Swabian Alb Born in the rugged Swabian Alb mountain range in Germany, this Alb Buffalo leather is a testament to natural durability. Sourced from the high-altitude landscapes around Hohenstien, these hides are built to withstand the elements. Olivvia® Tanned: Sustainably tanned using an essence from olive leaves, this leather is entirely free from metal traces, resulting in a hide that is as kind to the environment as it is tough. Texture & Handle: The skins are meticulously printed and then oiled to give a luxurious, waxy texture. This process enhances the buffalo's naturally coarse and rugged grain, a feature highly prized by leather connoisseurs. Performance: Known for being exceptionally flexible and breathable, Alb Buffalo leather provides unmatched resilience. The oiled finish offers high natural weather resistance and a deep, matte aesthetic that develops a rich character over time. Engineered for the Field Built on the legendary 4497s last—the definitive Tricker's country last—the Daniel offers a classic round toe and a roomy, comfortable fit. To complete this rugged build, the shoe is fitted with a Ridgeway Rubber Sole. This iconic British-made sole features large, raised lugs that provide superior traction and stability on uneven terrain, while maintaining a more refined side profile than a heavy commando sole. Finished with a Goodyear Barbour welt, this shoe is built to endure a lifetime of tramping.
