no worries, there's a existing solution for most shoe things.

The canterburys has the straps lower as well, looks better but the Burhmans are even better in this regard as the pull tabs are inside instead

I prefer the look of all blind eyelets on a balmoral boot, but I worry about the practicality of getting them on and off.

Nope. The boots I have with no speed laces are the ones below in a unique mid-brown CXL color that apparently was a one-of-a-kind batch. But thanks for bringing up the pain of the fact that the Budapester boots don't fit me 100. :^) No worries as I will prevail with that last eventually!

Eight words, gentlemen: black balmoral boots with dark-purple suede spat ankles. Let's all take a moment.

I toyed with a similar design once upon a time but never went thru with it.

Eight words?

Nevertheless a solid classic choice not groundbreaking.

These are my MTO Rider Balmoral Boots I got from Ron at his trunk show at Leffot last fall hence Steven's beautiful photos. They are black shell cordovan:
