What's a Boot Kiltie?

A boot kiltie (or false tongue) is a removable leather piece that sits under your laces. It adds a finished, custom look, keeps debris out, and protects the tongue of your boot. We cut ours from dozens of premium tannery leathers in 6", 8", and 10" heights to match almost any boot.
