Boot Hook Eyelets & Speed Lacers

Looking to see if this had happened to anyone else. Looks like a quality control issue with placement of eyelets and speed hooks. I'm disappointed this happened with $250 Thorogood boots.

The Different Types of Eyelets

I decided that my 10877's needed some speed hooks instead of eyelets, I think they came out alright!

Genuinely curious, why does RW revert back to an eyelet at the very top of the boot shaft on models that have speed hooks? : r/RedWingShoes

Newly installed speed hooks on the 877. Much quicker to lace up but the original eyelets are a better look imho. : r/RedWingShoes
