Customer Reviews Timberland Mt. Maddsen Mid Lace-Up Hiking Boots

I wear Timberland hiking boots exclusively, different models, depending on what I can find in my size when I need them. So when these arrived, I noticed right away the lacing pattern looked different. Seems there are 7 pairs of eyelets here, rather than the 6 pairs that have been on my other boots. This causes the laces to be very difficult to adjust; it't even difficult to loosen the laces to remove the boots. Unfortunately I 've already been tromping around outside so can't return them. And, where is the little pull tab that is normally on the back ? I didn't notice its absence in the picture when I was ordering. Oh, well.......Other than that, the fit and comfort is as good as it always has been.
