Thanks (or not, depending) for your input chaps 
You won’t get better for the money. The £129 ones are a mega bargain. Daks are a high quality old school tailor based in Jermyn St Mayfair. They wouldn’t stock poor quality shoes. Any Trickers will be better than Loake for example.
Plus I don’t think any Trickers would use leather that wasn’t of a very high quality. They use calf skin sometimes.
Yep, think I’ve done O K
I’ve just ordered the chestnut derbys in an 8 and a 9. I can try both sizes and return one pair (probably the 9s).
The pair of Trickers I have I’ve found uncomfortable but that may have been due to two corns on my little toes. I’ll give them another go. If anyone wants a 9 let me know as I’ll probably return them.
Actual Trickers in TKs, fair few on there

Have you got small feet or is that camera perspective?

The shoes are a 9.
Don’t wear them out in public with turned up jeans, guessing you know that though being a fashion guru 
Would keep the first pair myself.

If I need any tips I’ll let you know.
I’ve kept my size 10 Oxfords, coz of bargain reasons.
I fear the same reason might apply to me.
What’s wrong with turned up jeans?
Nothing with the right footwear
Its a selvedge affectation.
But as everyone has selvedge or some fake version it is a little passé
Though I still keep mine turned up as it is Japanese woven cotton. Not that anyone cares.
I do.
I think the chunkier one in the top pic is pretty good with denim.
I roll up my jeans all the time beats having to shorten them!
