I just picked up a pair of some nice Barker Blacks. I wasn't too thrilled with the soft brown frilly tipped laces that they came with, so I replaced them with what I had on hand. I seem to prefer waxed laces, and all I have at the moment is black ones.
I can't recall ever using black laces with brown shoes but I'm thinking this looks good. But I've been wrong before.
After a few coats of cordovan around the toes, followed by a few of black around the bottom near the sole, and a few last neutral coats of wax, the polished up with a nice semi- antique look to them.
I shot a few pics using a flash for some, since it does alter the appearance a great deal.
