These Maine Woods boots are a lace up grandpa bootie style with a pointed toe. Genuine leather, and lined, great for your woods adventures. Flat sole with a tiny heel, Fold down tongue and back depending on the look you want. Laces up the front and then has hooks for the last few laces. Marked a size 8. 5, but I think these are a good fit for an 8. Light wear to the leather, have a great look. I can rub them down with Dr Marten's Wonder Balm before shipping if you'd like - just leave me a note when checking out.
