It’s the fifth anniversary of my boots this year and they have been excellent for dog walking in Clayton walks in Cheshire and light treks around the north wales coast. I have dread feet(bunions) and I found the best sock combination, they are so comfy and sturdy. I bought my usual size. The best socks are your own brand they protect the heel and the calf, as well as looking good. Five years on the socks are perfect, except one pair, which was eaten by my cocker. I have just purchased more socks in the new colours. Well done Trailback your customer service is also exceptional.
My Trailback Crofty's are absolutely amazing...I've just had them back after Sandy arranged for them to be re- soled, they're like new (again!) despite being nearly 4 years old...I swear they're going to last me a lifetime and I'm a heavy user, daily dog walks along the wonderful beaches of Cornwall, often including a paddle in salt water, a hike along the coast path or scrubbed up for a 'posh' do. They are comfortable, durable and stylish in both design and detailing. I love them and having them back again is like being re- united with a long lost friend. Speak to Sandy (proprietor) who will fit 'n advise so you too will get the best out of your boots.
Thank you Justin for an excellent review. We see you have worn your Trailbacks everyday for a number of years. We were deighted to sort out the re-soling for you and no doubt you will have them for many more years. It is lovely to hear that when we returned your boots it was like being re-united with a long lost frriend. That is very special to hear, thank you.
I’ve not been kind to these boots at all, and they take it all in their stride. From renovating an overgrown smallholding to working around the world, these are a step ahead of others I’ve had - they’ve got real soul. They’ve been leathered with abuse by the brambles, salt water and rocks, so they’ve got their fair share of wrinkles and scars, but I’ve got to grips with the recommended cream (instead of polish), which works a treat! They aren’t laced with comfort at the start though - took a while for mine to break in as with all proper boots, but stick with it. If you walk outside your house, you can’t put a foot wrong in these.
Thank you so much Crendon for the fabulous review of your Trailback Crofty boots. Yes the scars and wrinkles do give your Trailbacks a lot of character. You have advised us that you are a journalist working around the world, so we really do appreciate you taking the time to give us a review. They are so your boots and clearly do look after you. Thank you so much, best wishes from Trailback
I have owned my Trailback Boots for over 5 years. Have worn them literally every day during this time, for walking my dog.
They are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. Not only are they comfortable, but also 100 % waterproof and really warm & cosy too. Brilliant grip and the quality of the leather is superb.
They scrub up brilliantly too. I hold my hands up and admit I have not polished them very often in all the time I have had them. When I do, the leather comes up a treat and they look as good as new.
I was also very impressed to learn from Sandy (Customer Service), that Trailback can resole my boots for me as well. Having worn my boots every day for 5 years +, the Vibram sole, not surprisingly, would now benefit from being resoled, giving me many more years of wear from them, which is fantastic.
So, I really cannot recommend these superb quality boots enough.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much Jo for your fantastic review of your 5 year old Trailback Crofty boots. It is clear, they have looked after you over the years and I am so proud to hear you love them. What tends to happen when you wear them like you do, is that they become a part of you and you will feel lost without them. We will get them sorted for you as quaickly as possible. Thanks you for your very kind words, Jo. It makes all the difference to me and my Trailback team. Sandy Wallis - FOUNDER
Oh my goodness, our daughter bought my husband and I a gift box for Christmas last year and I’ve got to say it’s certainly answered all my prayers and so much so that we’ve purchased more and will continue to do so from now on.
Being someone who suffers with my feet, I’ve been limited to wearing cushioned sole trainers all the time to enable me to walk better. Since wearing these fantastic socks, it’s been a major game changer for me so much so I can wear some of my boots again in comfort 😊. What’s even better is that I can wear one pair for a week and they do not smell whatsoever, so not only does it make them last longer, you’re also saving on washing products/electricity. It’s s a win-win all round, I would however like to see more colours available e.g. pink, purple & burgundy as I’m sure this will make them more eye catching to the ladies (my husband said he would wear those colours too).
Since speaking with the lovely sandy who was so helpful with a question I had and now knowing they are a local Cornish company who might I add export these fantastic socks (20k + every year) to Scandinavia they absolutely love them so that tells you how good they are.
I highly recommended these to all you out there.
Thankyou Trailback from a very happy satisfied family.
Thank you so much Sue for your wonderful review! The Trailback team are so interested to hear that our Pro-Extreme merino wool hiking socks with cushioned sole have helped you to wear your boots comfortably. We will also be taking your advice on adding more colours to our range and indeed, having now ordered burguny,which will be added to our range very soon. Thank you for your very kind comments and great suggestions Sandy Wallis - TRAILBACK FOUNDER
I’ve had my Trailbacks 3years now and just love them. I was anxious at first as they are an investment but haven’t looked back. I knew I’d done the right thing shortly after my purchase when boarding a regional flight the lady behind on the steps asked if they were Trailbacks and I proudly said yes - she said ‘good decision!’ They take me across fields, along beaches and are still looking good. I recently had to send them back for repair and reheeling - they have been returned in pristine condition and will continue to serve me well for many more miles to come. Customer service at Trailback is excellent & communication while my boots were away was fantastic. Thank you Sandi
Oh bless you Carole for such a lovely review, it means so much. Thank you for sending them to us for the repair, your boots were clearly well looked after and we were amazed at the great condition of the Vibram sole, it was only the heels that needed replacing. We are so happy to see you have looked after your Trailbacks and so they will go on looking after you. Thank you so much Carole, very kind of you.
Where have these socks been my whole life? I saw these advertised in Countryside Magazine and thought that these would be a great gift for my parents because they both swear by merino wool socks for warmth. Last year, I ordered my first pair and a gift set so all of us could have a pair for Christmas and by golly we were all happy! These socks are the only socks that I have found (and I have tried several) that do not slip down inside my wellies. These socks are brilliant for keeping my feet warm in single digit temperatures and if you suffer from plantar fasciitis or arthritis, these socks will be a game changer for you. I have recommended these socks to several people now and will continue to do so. I would love to see some more colours available because then that will attract more people to purchase (as well as myself). Customer service is excellent, very friendly and helpful, will continue to support this local business to me. Thank you, Trailback.
Thank you so much Charlie for your fabulous review, it is so kind of you. We are very pleased to hear that you and your family love our Pro-Extreme merino wool hiking socks. Thank you for your great suggestion on us adding more colours to our range. As you and your family are loyal customers and have requested burgundy, we would like to tell you that burgundy will be coming soon, so please do look out for these. Thank you so much Charlie for supporting our Cornish brand. Best wishes from the Trailback team
I have just purchased my fifth pair of Trailback boots. I can’t stay away from them, I just keep going back. I have the Crofty in all three colors and it is honestly the most amazing pair of boots that suits not only my life in a fishing village in Scotland, but also in Edinburgh, as well as in New York. Splitting my time between these three places can be tricky in terms of how to dress, but these boots just nail it. I also have the Chelsea boot, which is a bit more polished, and I tend to wear in the city, but they are also very suitable for country wear. 10 out of 10 and more. PS - I got the socks for the first time also and they are great. I will be buying them in all colors!
What a wonderful review Margaret, thank you so much for staying with Trailback. You definitely know how to wear them, they are your boot and the Trailbacks will look after you, as they are clearly doing. They seem perfect for your lifestyle, we love Edinburgh and New York and think they will fit amazingly well in these beautiful cities. Scotland is a stunning part of the world, we are pleased to say that we have so many Trailbacks in Scotland. Thank you for being a loyal Trailbacker Margaret, we are very happy to hear you love our Pro-Extreme Merino wool hiking socks too, they are on their way to you now. Thank you so very much Margaret - TRAILBACK TEAM
What a treat to have found a pair of boots that are easy to get on, waterproof and so unbelievably comfortable. They mould to your feet and become the go to boot for doing anything or going anywhere outdoors. The quality of the materials used is second to none. Looking forward to taking delivery of a recently purchased black pair. They are worth every pound.
Thank you so much Zoe for your very kind review. We know that this latest pair is your third pair of Trailbacks which is fantastic. You have kindly sent us a pair which needs re-soling which we will sort out for you. You told us "I wear them 12 hours 6 days a week. 😊" You have obvioulsy found your boot which we are delighted to hear is the Trailback. Thank you so much for the review Zoe, we will be in touch soon.
I have worn my trailback boots for 4 winters on twice daily dog walks and gave the joy of dry feet every day. They have been neglected, they're a bit scruffy looking but when i put my mind to it they clean up really nicely.
I have just bought another pair as i want a 'smart' pair will I slowly wear out the other ones!
Comfy, robust, great grip, flexible, WATERPROOF, and cleanable.
Thank you for my dry tootsies!
Thank you so much Caroline for your brilliant review. It looks like your Trailbacks are perfect for your lifestyle and they are certainly looking after you. Great that you will have a new pair that you can use for smart and your old pair will do you proud. Don't forget that you can re-sole them, so they will carry on doing their job for you, this is something that is very important to us. Thank you so much for your very kind review Caroline.
