Tyler Lace-Up Derby Boot (Men)

Well made Brogan styling in a Mexican boot. There is an attention to detailing and components that had to come out of the same factories producing Thursdays and Tecovas in León Mexico. Of course this isn't a Red Wing but if you're easy on your boots they'll be just fine; without the breakin time required for the aforementioned brand. A coat of spray on waterproofing might be a good idea all the same. If done properly it shouldn't change the color as pictured. I was worried about a wide not being available but it proved not to be an issue.

Out of the box, they were snug around the middle, and I was concerned my wide feet might not fit these boots. But literally within five minutes of wearing them the warmth of my feet expanded the leather and they fit perfect. I think the softness and quality of the leather uppers on these is really what you're paying for. The soles are a little thin and I could see where after 6 to 12 months of weat you might have to resole the entire boot. That's my only criticism so far. The other part that is problematic is they are difficult to put on - considering the lace up aspect. I like the leather laces, but they do make it more difficult to loosen and tighten the boot. For this style of boot, these are a very good choice and good quality. I don't think you'll be disappointed by these boots regardless of the style you choose.
