      @Chris:

      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 ?

                These http://www.benjos.com/dress-boot-laces/nemo-blue

                Or these http://www.benjos.com/dress-boot-laces/n-b-greenberg

                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.

                    These are the regular laces of my tan coloured Wolverine 1000 mile Addison boots - waxed brown flat laces

                    Similar ones would look also great with your Trickers @jonnyv

                              You're right .. they are a tad broader (and not waxed) like my Wolverine ones.
                              But the colour is fine! You could maybe try round brown laces.

                                            Very Nice. love it when boots get that distressed look, and the laces are a good choice.
