White's Boots

Very nice Shane, they look like a real all occasions boot.

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..

They are nice!!! Would go with the leather laces

^ Yes, very nice build!  also leather laces look pefect IMO.

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

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:

Nice one! There's a lot to be said for simple specs… enjoy em.

That's a beauty for sure!

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:

No kiltie, leather laces imo.

Don't diss a kiltie…..

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

[Bluegrass]

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…

You can also make your own laces. That's what I did.

I tracked down an ebay seller who sells waxed cotton lace by the metre. He usually adds a metal tip for the length you want. The metal tips are crap so order them untipped, or remove the metal tip. Then buy yourself some heat shrink tubing, a tea light candle, and make your own lace-end tips. And that's it.

That's what I did on these boots. OK these tips are a little long, but you can do them any length you want and/or change them any time:
