Sir Edmund Hillary Was a Size 11 Shoe

The impression of a Tricker's shoe was certainly not left on the summit of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary. He wore ruddy great mountaineering boots for that part of his journey.

Ruddy great mountaineering boots

We do know, however, that Sir Edmund ordered a pair of Tricker's for the 1953 Himalaya Expedition — the ninth British expedition to Everest — where he successfully managed the first ascent of Mount Everest with Tenzing Norgay.

Sir Edmund was a size 11, as the original order to Tricker's (below) shows.

The Calvert

What would Sir Edmund order from Tricker's current range, I hear you ask? Quite simply: the Calvert.

Why? Because you and I like them, and they are also from a 1950 bespoke design for an Austrian general — around the time of the expedition.

Welcome suppleness

The Calvert boots come in a choice of black or brown scotch grain leather with a robust Dainite sole. The leather is tanned with olive leaves to make it supple. An expedition relies very much on its feet, so supple is always welcome. Even if it's an expedition to the local pub.





You can wear the black version with white laces or black laces, which are also supplied. Might be rather fun to wear with white laces at the weekend.
