These Boots compete with Doc Martens, Grinders, and Underground. They are 20-eyelet lace-up Boots, with a thick rubber sole that is screwed on. The color of this pair of Boots is Burgundy. While I need to get longer laces than came supplied with them, they fit well once I got them on. But that's the trouble, in my opinion: they take forever to ladder lace well. The lacing looks good but is a pain in the butt to do right. If you happened to stumble on this page looking for ladder lacing instructions, click here for the details on hotboots.com.
