English country boots with standard 7 eyelets and round waxed cotton laces. I use these for hard work in the yard, hikes and in steel challenge shooting competitions. I put a high shine on the toe before every weekly match and always get compliments. Amazing how durable the Stow boots are and this muflone leather continues to amaze me with the durability and comfort. Absolutely zero break in and with wool army socks, have the comfort of sneakers.
