              Love em.
              Also try laces in red thick leather e.g. 3mm x 3mm cross section [emoji106]
              See pics of my Trickers with thick leather laces below.

                Can you get laces in red leather 4mm x 4 mm cross section?

                Thanks. wore them for the first time last  night. opinion wasn't good !

                You think red leather would be better ?

                  IMO the red mutes some of the better tones in that color boot. However with the background being a similar tone, the leather isn't going to standout anyhow.

                    I agree with jdl; the red is a bit overpowering for that shade of leather.  I'd go with something boring, like a waxed brown cotton.  That will put the attention on the boots, not the laces.

                        +1 … brown! / maybe black  ... bright red laces are fugly in this combo

                          Yeah I'm starting to realise I should of stuck with the original laces in the boots.
                          Will post a pic of original laces later.

                            I think dark navy blue laces would be awesome in those boots… just the right pop to bring the eye to the boots.

                              Thanks. Yeah I had thought of dark blue.

                              here's a pic of original laces and red laces in boots.

                                Don't like the originals at all - and agree the red is too much (though I generally like red laces). You might be able to do a really dark forest green as well.  I also like flat laces in a dressy boot like that.

                                  These ? (but my jeans are the same colour as the laces then ?)

                                  or how about these colours in 110cm length ?

                                    And I'd wear boots like that with chinos to work or go out - if wearing jeans you could do the red! Or wear your White's or Wescos.  With a dark blue, tapered, dressier cut jean, the green or blue would still be cool.

                                    Just my opinion! I like messing with laces.  🙂

                                      P.S. check out the "work boot" laces as well for your other boots - they're great too.

                                        Similar ones would look also great with your Trickers @jonnyv
