So killed off my work boots last friday, and turns out, not so easy to find leather soft toe lace-ups at the moment (was thinking of the rivers ones, but not for full price) So hit my local boot store and found they had some nylon upper doc martens for 130$, so not bad compared to a lot of outdoor shoes. Whats up with so much padding on shoes? So far they have been good, light, breath well, not much more to say. Time will tell as far as durability goes, but I'm averaging between 7 and 15 km a day according to my fitbit. They seem pretty tough.
Anyway, they have eyelets all the way up, so I'm thinking I want to get some speed hooks to add to the upper section. Any reason not to? anyone got any thoughts or tips? Just order some off the bay and go for it?
