The lacing makes it easy to adjust the Boston to fit your foot. This low top lace-up boot is made from super soft greased nubuck. If you find that you do a lot of walking then this boot is your must-have. The firm back of the sole stabilises your foot, whilst the flexible front simplifies the transition of your foot. The wedge heel makes you appear taller and slimmer, though you don't feel like you are walking in heels due to the platform under your forefoot. The effective heel height is therefore not as high as it appears!
