      ^ Nice straight forward choice Urb, cool. Pleased with the choice of leather, why'd you choose it?

      Thanks man. I have a bunch of the leather swatches laying around. After fiddling with them for awhile the Otter seemed to be fairly sturdy but also still malleable like CXL. As far as the CXL upper, I'm sure you can attest to how easily it conforms to your foot/ankle. I feel like it's the best of both worlds. I like getting a durable leather for the toe/heel and getting the soft CXL for the upper.

          Good thinking, been debating a black otter build and it's good to see it on a boot, it feels nicely hardy. The black edge looks great. Look forward to seeing how they take shape.

            love that shane.. Ill go with leather laces for a more rugged look. Either way its a winner..

                  nice images of a great build. black is a b!tch to capture & looks as if you did a wonderful job.

                  i would go with option # 3

                  flat black waxed laces. it would suit the boot better than the leather or the round boot laces. . . . at least until they get all scuffed up, then the leather laces are the way to go

                  head high, middle finger higher

                    On the look out for some other black laces. I'm not a fan of either of these. I wish they would send black leather laces with black boots.

                      I found some really awesome Justin brand super thick round black waxed laces at a western wear store that are awesome. Here they are:

                            My CXL LTT's have broken in nicely but I'm always debating between lace/false tongue setups…I'm actually partial to the no tongue/yellow lace look:

                                        I don't especially like leather laces, but definitely no kiltie and leather laces is the best combo.

                                          Aho - I kind of dig the contrast with the yellow laces and no kiltie - but maybe a bit over the top.  Check some of these out - still a pop of color, but a bit less of a statement - you might see something else you'd like.  http://www.benjos.com/work-boot-laces/

                                          I like the way the leather laces look, but I don't like the functionality - I have a hard time getting them in the hooks - I just hate f'ng with them.  I'm lazy.

                                            Thanks everyone! Something about the White's LTT, I think they tend to look cleaner without the false tongue. Plain toe however, I'd use it all day! Wesco LTT's do look good with the FT in my opinion…
