To be honest, get boots with zippers if you work more than 16 at a time and just stick with whatever laces came on what you're wearing.
Otherwise, it doesn't really matter

Might I suggest hot pink or rainbow colored shoe laces maybe with little butterfly medallions hanging off the end.

I second the bald guy.

Actually no....I second Hotel.

I never used anything special. Whatever comes on them.

The only pair of special laces I ever got were some leather laces for my wildland boots. But that's beside the point.

I prefer the curly ones you don't have to tie.

I use velcro, because it's so easy!

Use 550 cord just in case you find yourself in a situation where you need to rappel with your shoe laces. :rofl:

I've seen para cord used.

Don't sweat the laces. What about the pants zipper?;)

With the soles that light up everytime you take a step?

You know, for err, extra visibility on accident scenes. Yeah, visibility... :unsure:

I think light up shoes would greatly improve our safety along roads and highways at night.

Retracted. I totally didn't read your whole post.

:wacko:
