I just spoke to Tricker's sales manager Roy Martiniak, and he was quite upset about it. It seems like Jason Dike at Selectism got this information not from "the horses mouths" but from the horses rears.<br /><br />The shoes are clearly not up to Tricker's standards, quite obvious if looking at the pictures. They are in fact, as mentioned in the Asos on-line store, made by NPS shoes Ltd.<br /><br />And I just visited Selectism again: They had erased the entire post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310546953709408827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-35881666511812443432010-03-10T12:47:27.395-05:002010-03-10T12:47:27.395-05:00Mr Brown said...
