Thomas Cook Trentham Boots for Hardworking Australians
Thomas Cook's signature elastic-sided boot: single-piece leather upper, full leather lining and a removable Cushion-Tech footbed. Available in chestnut, black, crazy horse and tan.
A Footbed You Can Take Out
The Cushion-Tech footbed is what the name refers to and what the boot is built around. It lifts out, which means it can dry properly overnight instead of holding yesterday in it, and Thomas Cook builds it to be breathable, anti-bacterial and moisture absorbing.
Above it, the upper is cut from one piece of leather rather than panelled together, so there are fewer seams to give way, and the whole boot is lined in leather. The elastic in the sides is specified for shape retention, which is the part that usually goes first on a cheaper elastic-sided boot, and the rubber sole is made to be replaced when it eventually wears through.
Cushion Tech and the Dress Cuts
Four styles come as plain Cushion Tech boots and five more as Cushion Tech dress boots, which take a cleaner toe and a slimmer profile for wearing with trousers rather than jeans. Two heavier-finished dress boots sit between the two, built to be worn hard and polished occasionally rather than kept for good.
There is also a croc-print version for anyone who wants the Trentham shape with more going on, and a women's Cushion Tech Trentham dress boot in chestnut, which is the one pair here that belongs in the Thomas Cook women's boots range as well.
Colours and Getting Years Out of a Pair
Chestnut is the most common finish, and it is the one that ages best, going darker and richer rather than scuffed. Black covers the formal end, oiled crazy horse gives you a boot that already looks worn in, and burnished brown, light tan and golden tan sit between the two.
A Trentham rewards a bit of looking after. Keep them off direct heat when they are wet, take the footbed out to dry, and give the leather a feed a few times a year. Done that way, the sole gives out long before the upper does, and that is the part you can have replaced.
