THIS OR THAT?
-
Pretext: I own a pair of brown rough out White's Oxfords from Baker's Boots that I love minus the fact that I could use a tiny bit more width. I'm interested in another pair of low cut rough out shoes and I am between these two:
Another pair of White's Oxfords in black roughout:
Or a pair of Wesco JH Classic in Burlap Roughout (unsure whether to go lace to toe or standard):
I'm interested in Wesco more so based on the love they get from Iron Heart and the board here. Honestly, roughout color doesn't matter that much as I can pretty much do the same build in either shoe. More interested in any knowledge of quality/comfort on the Wesco or opinions.

I have no knowledge of White’s so I can’t give you a balanced opinion, but I own a pair of JH Classics in roughout olive burlap. They are LTT. They are heavy, solid, built like tanks and ridiculously comfortable. The LTT format makes them really easy to lace in a way that supports your foot for max comfort and stability.

I’ve had the White’s (Hathorn), the Wesco and now the Viberg oxfords. They are all awesome but in terms of quality the Wesco and Viberg are ahead of the White’s (and I say that as someone who considers the SD to be the greatest boot ever made).
-
Thanks all! Megatron - you hit the trifecta. Viberg was on the list too but quite expensive. I'll give the Wesco's a shot. They don't come in much more expensive than the White's actually.

Definitely a solid choice man, you won’t be disappointed.

how should i lace these

@madmonday I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering if you'd retired again. Then you pop up with an innocent question like you were never gone, you scoundrel
Pic number two is the only correct method. Nice score btw. You pleased?

I'd go with option A.

I’m with @Chris - I always like my sneakers laced that way.

I Like option b on the indigo sneakers best

den1mhead's way all the way. In fact I lace all my shoes/sneakers with the laces going inside the eyelets first and then symmetrically up to the knot. It provides better grip and holds your feet much better in place than putting them from the outside which I've experienced quite irritating to wear with any kind of shoes.
