          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:

                    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…

                                      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:

                                        Need some help. Looking for a work boot and Im very interested in a pair of 6" height White's. Looking for help sourcing either a pair of SJ lace to toe, Northwest or Cougars.

                                        Really like rough out but Im leaning against that option due to the amount of saw dust and oil they will probably see. A little info. I work in a busy wood/welding shop and my personal shop is mostly automotive welding/fabrication so they will see a lot of use. I would use a site like bakers to just build them but I wish I could see good comparisons of material and finish to make a decision. Just trying to avoid an all black boot (thats what I normally do. Want to switch it up), want a Vibram 2021 sole. Thinking of either a natural, red dog, or Horween Navy Chomexel with a double midsole, rolled top, then debate on steel toe or not.

                                        Here are two I randomly came across online or instagram a while back and took screen shots of.

                                        First ones I believe were a special Japan only run a while ago. Eventhough Im trying to avoid all black and rough out they look amazing

                                        These second ones would be pretty much be perfect except I would like all brass eyes and no hooks.

                                        Any help is greatly appreciated.

                                          For the environment you described, I wouldn't recommend the chromexel.  It's nice, but not the toughest leather.  The red dog should withstand a lot of abuse.

                                            You might also want to look at the dress, oil tan and smooth leathers, the latter two are heavy duty and all take pounding very well.
