Not much of a hassle. I prefer the look of all eyelets as the facings typically stay straight and don't have any unflattering ankle creases.@slows2k , @Hisheirness23 , and @JTMD have all made good points making me consider a pair of Indy’s in shell. I’ve found a pair in C width that looks nice but it is a 9 eyelet, no speed hooks. If any of you (or anyone else) has experience with both Alden’s speed hooks boots and 9 eyelet ones, how much of a hassle is it to put on and take off the 9 eyelet ones vs speed hooks boots?
She'll also has the waxed laces, so that could be easier to keep the laces flat and not twisted when passing through the eyelets. If you don't like the eyelets, any cobbler can swap out for speed hooks. But to go from hooks to eyes, the spacing may be off.
