What laces are those? Nice and wide..

If I'm not mistaken, are those the type of laces that are kind of "hollow"?  What I mean is, can you squeeze them on the sides to sort of make them round?  These are my favorite type of laces, but I don't know what the proper name for this style of lace is.  If anyone knows what they are called it would be much appreciated.  These are some I found by searching double layer laces, but I feel like there has to be a better way to find them: https://www.amazon.com/YFINE-Double-Layers-Shoelaces-Sneakers/dp/B00Y4MNWFA

Beautiful boots @wmb.  How did you size them?

thank you. these are size 12 Clinch George boot CN last.

I am 11.5 D on a brannock device

 Alden Barrie 11, Alden Plaza 11.5, Alden LHS 11, Alden Grant 11.5

11UK Edward Green, 82, 202 last 

12 US Nike

10.5 Lofgren tankers 

these fit me very well -- a slight resistance when putting them on at the base of the tongue.  I think a wide foot or a very high instep may have trouble.

Are they clinch size 12 or US size 12?

I got my Onderhoud boots in Maryam horsebutt leather. Given how awful the Indonesian leather on my brother's Sagaras was and what I've heard from other owners, I am glad that I went with this leather instead. The leather is not teacore, but they should age pretty nicely.

how did you size both RDT and Brother bridge compared to Viberg 2030 or red Wings?

I do not own any Red Wings, so I cannot comment on those. 

However, I am a 7.5 in Viberg 2030. 8 in a Brother Bridge. RDT recommended me to go with an 8, however, I went with a 7.5 given how wide the forefoot is on the RDT Roots. Slightly snug on the top of the foot, but definitely ok length and width wise. 

Awesome Onderhoud boots^. Construction looks good!

I really like Sanders’ chukkas - what’s the Japan angle?

Made in England for the japanese market, slightly rounder toe box, closer reproduction of the originals fro  60/70's.

I’ve always liked those @Geeman, did you buy your usual size?

8 on a brannock,  7 or 7.5 in redwing.  7.5 in these is spot on but there was little difference between these and the 8.

Been after them for ages, look great with jeans, cords, chinos
