At Allen Edmonds, lace up boots are more than footwear—they’re an investment in style, durability, and timeless elegance that grows more distinguished with every wear.

Are lace-up boots better for everyday wear than slip-on boots?  

 

Lace-up boots are often considered better for everyday wear because their adjustable lacing allows for a more customized fit, providing better support throughout the day. They can be tightened or loosened depending on the thickness of your socks or the activity you’re doing. Slip-on boots, like Chelsea styles, are convenient and easy to wear but lack this level of adjustability. For daily wear that involves extended walking or a need for consistent support, lace-up boots are typically the more practical choice. 

How do I care for the laces themselves? 

Caring for the laces helps maintain both the appearance and functionality of lace-up boots. Over time, laces can fray, stretch, or become discolored from wear. Regularly inspecting them and replacing any worn or damaged laces ensures your boots stay secure and polished. Choosing high-quality laces, such as waxed cotton or durable leather, can also extend their lifespan. Keeping them clean and untangled preserves a neat, refined look. Properly maintained laces contribute to the overall longevity and presentation of your boots.
