Reddit reviews IIT 90200 Eyelet Pliers with 100 Eyelets

Get the Bushacre 2, instead. The sole will be a little less comfortable at first, because it's not crepe rubber, but will hold up better in the long run, and doesn't pick up dirt the way the crepe sole does.

Also, get a leather punch, some 3/16" eyelets, and eyelet pliers.

Then, punch a third pair of shoelace eyelets, on each boot, the same distance apart as the original 2 pairs, further up the boot. In my opinion, it makes a world of difference.

Clarks are a really great value, and break in nicely.
