THE GOLDEN STRING

Lace colors
A lot of people are of the opinion that the color of your boot laces is relevant. Supposedly, according to common knowledge, white boot laces and/or suspenders (in Britspeak, "braces", hence the phrase "laces and braces") are worn by white supremacist skinheads. However, in doing research on this topic, I found a skinhead website that polled visitors about this, and something like 80% of respondents were of the opinion that white laces and braces are solely a fashion choice and not indicative of one's opinions on race. Upshot: feel free to wear white laces, but be aware that some people may come to the conclusion that you are a neo-Nazi.

Why worry about the color of your laces? Simple, black laces on black boots are nearly invisible, and what's the point of learning boot macrame if no one can see it. Color choices are mostly a matter of personal taste. As discussed above, white laces are a possible choice. White shows up very well on black boots. However, you can also choose colored laces in much the same way you choose hankies, although your options regarding colors are severely limited. But those into watersports can use yellow laces, those into fisting can use red, etc. Use your imagination.

No I don't believe you could condone laces as a racial indication. Too minor a detail. Too much assumption involved. If i wore black socks does show what I think of black people?

Socks speak louder than laces.

And the fact is, it's only racist if you think of it like that. Lets say they were considered racist. That means of all the billions of black laces in the world, only black people could wear them. Vice versa for the white laces. And what of white people wearing black dress shoes? On their way to a dance...Oh hang on I better thread my white laces into my black dress shoes. It's ludicrous! If you sink to that level of symbolism in life then life is just a prison with stupidity as the infingement.

Anyone who's had any sort of exposure to the Neo-Nazi fraternity in Great Britain knows that they haven't evolved far enough to tie their own laces yet anyway.
