Product overview
About speed-hook lace-up boots
Work-inspired lace-up boots combine eyelets at the bottom with speed hooks at the top for quick lacing, a padded collar and a robust lug sole. The reference shows brown leather with a stitched welt detail and dark lug sole.
Leather selection gives this style its character: oiled, waxy and pull-up leathers age visibly and suit heritage positioning. The boot is usually cemented with welt-look stitching; true welted construction is a premium option subject to feasibility.

Custom lasts, outsole moulds, cutting dies and branding tools may add tooling costs and raise minimum quantities. They are quoted separately before you commit.

Men's-led style; boot lasts allow for thicker socks, checked at fit sampling.

- 02Mark the tip of the longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark in millimetres.
- 03Measure both feet and use the longer one; measure later in the day when feet are largest.
- 04Compare with the foot-length column, not the shoe's outside length.
