          I picked black fire with black lining, mp toe, narrow shafts, and hukurokujo roller buckles

                Well they told me the black fire is the same thickness as their other leathers except the black tie so i'm ok with the stiffness. They'll give in eventually.

                Wesco only uses roller buckles in japan, but you can provide your own. Here is the kind i got. You have to order them from japan. http://mydenimlife.com/blog/whats-in-a-buckle/

                You can check them out at the link. They were only about $30

                  ok, thanks. I got the generic rollerbuckles Bakers offers, they are a bit big for instep straps…

                        From WESCO online. Score this one from their factory second line, Brand new in my size which was custom made and i presumed not collected by the customer.

                          I'd go with the black laces and no kiltie, but other than that personal aesthetic difference, those are fantastic looking.

                              Not advice, just my preference.  They're your boots, so wear them how you like them.  Feel free to tell me to keep my unsolicited opinions to myself. 😃

                                  Those look great Friday, no matter how you wear them. 😉 I got three pairs from their factory seconds page,
                                  two pairs were new and one pair had a tiny oil spot on the tongue gusset…Can't see a fly on a running horse! 😉

                                      @Blackheart; Thanks. 😉

                                      Thanks Moonshine and they are size 10E which imo fits tts. I am a 10US in most shoes/boots and a 9UK in vibergs. The wesco fits me perfect an should I go down 1 size would definitely be too tight but going a half size bigger, would fit the same as my viberg which gives almost 1 inch room for the toes.

                                      oh, and i like those raw laces on those boots.
