Good quality best in my review

A little shorter than I would like. Like an extra half inch would have been perfect. but overall great! I will probably buy again.

Pros
  • Improves the overall appearance of shoes
Cons
  • The thickness of the laces may make them difficult to fit through certain eyelets

Great replacement laces for your shoes.

I've always had trouble finding replacement laces for dress shoes after the factory-supplied laces wear out. They are either too thin, not properly waxed and, therefore, come loose, or are so wide they are only suitable for athletic shoes. These seem to strike the right balance. They are not thin but definitely not athletic laces. The laces seem deeply waxed so they stay put after you tie them. Overall, they seem worth the effort and money.

Pros
  • A trendy accessory that enhances the value of shoes
Cons
  • The laces may not be suitable for those with allergies to wax

Great holding power, seem strong

My Ecco shoes have always had loose laces, so i had to pull them super tight and eventually broke them. These laces stick great! The length was perfect, they fit well, and they seem very strong. Can't beat them for the price either!

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • The laces may be too short for taller individuals

Minor snags - my new review

Arrived as expected, however there were several very noticeable snags in one of the shoelaces. Fortunately the replace pair I ordered did not have the same issue

Pros
  • Comes in different thicknesses for various types of shoes
Cons
  • The laces may be too difficult to tie for those with long nails

Perfect for small holes boots

Perfect and they fit into my Victorian vintage boots perfectly. I measured the existing laces and determined this length would be perfect and give me a bit of extra length to tie a good sized bow.

Pros
  • Looks great with formal and business attire
Cons
  • The thickness of the laces may make them difficult to unlace quickly

My previous wax laces lasted a while before the wax melted off (gotta love AZ). I am in roller derby and regular laces last about 1 practice. Unfortunately, after my first practice with them laced, they are about half broke :/. Looks like I will be covering the top of my skates with duct tape.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor and athletic shoes
Cons
  • The laces may not be suitable for those with arthritis or joint pain

The gray laces seem to have a blue tint.

I've actually ordered two pairs of these laces while trying to find the right fit. The first pair was far too long. The second pair is too short to go through all the holes and still tie them. That could be indicative of my own poor sizing judgement, but the main reason for the 2 star rating is that these "gray" laces look bluish with my gray shoes. It's enough that I feel a little silly wearing them in public at times. See the attached photo. . . if the color shift doesn't bother you…

Pros
  • Adds an extra layer of style to any outfit
Cons
  • The wax on the laces may transfer onto your hands or clothing

A little thick, but these are durable!

Although I say these are somewhat large (width-wise), these are the 3rd pair I purchased. That just goes to show you that I do like these shoe laces a lot. I own three pairs of Cole Haan Chukkas which I believe use a 25" or so lace. The closest size I could purchase is 27". The two extra inches don't make much of a difference. What is different however, as I indicated earlier, is the width of the lace. These laces aren't as thin as the Cole Haan laces. From a cosmetic standpoint they…

Pros
  • Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
Cons
  • The thickness of the laces may take up too much space in the shoe

Nice laces, not as sturdy as hoped

These laces fit my shoes great, the color complimented my shoes, but they didn't last as long as I would have hoped. I bought them in February 2018, wore the shoes in rotation with winter boots and then sandals and then boots again, and here we are after 11 months of maximum half-time wear with me buying another pair. Are my expectations for shoe laces too high?

Pros
  • When they say orange they mean orange. The picture doesn't do it justice lol. Good laces though.
Cons
  • The laces may fray easily

These are shoelaces, no I'm not sure why Revain is asking about arch support. Anyway, if you are looking for boot-length, professional waxed black laces, these are them. Not the eyelet guide. I didn't pay much attention and ended up buying one that was a bit long. No matter, I double-knot them and there's no problems.

Pros
  • They are too short, I should have measured my old ones.
Cons
  • The laces may become discolored

Perfect for my elderly mothers shoes

These are exactly what I had expected. They are not a flat (sneaker style) lace. They are round and thinner. Perfect for my elderly mothers shoes.The grey is a perfect Dove . Also exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you and btw.the price couldn't have been better.

Pros
  • Provides a tight and secure fit
Cons
  • The wax may contribute to the laces breaking over time

Great Quality, Color Was Off a Tad

The actual laces had more yellow in them than the picture led me to believe. They were less sky blue and more turquoise. The quality was perfect though.

Pros
  • Increases shoe comfort and support
Cons
  • The laces may not allow for enough flexibility in the shoe

Replace Original Laces

My job requires me to wear nice men's leather dress shoes. The problem seems to be whatever you spend on quality shoes they all come with basic laces. After discovering these I replace the original laces with these at the time of purchase and keep the stock laces as a back up.

Pros
  • Adds personality and uniqueness to shoes
Cons
  • The laces may be too short for certain shoe styles

Fun shoelaces that are darker than the images suggest

The shoelaces are fun and of good quality; however, they came much darker than the photos online suggest. They appear more brown than violet. I doubled checked the photos on my laptop, on an external monitor, and on my phone, and in all cases the color was much brighter than what I received.

Pros
  • I liked the fit of these strings and the coating. Length was exactly as stated.
Cons
  • The wax on the laces can wear off easily

They do come un-tied a bit easy, but from prior experience

Work as advertised. They do come un-tied a bit easy, but from prior experience, this will happen less frequently over time.Update: They do not come un-tied easily any more. As I guessed, it was about 1-2 weeks and they are good.

Pros
  • They're very thick and long for my shoes, but they've held up well.
Cons
  • The laces may be too stiff

Great Customer Service

I had purchased a pair of laces that broke within a week of using. Customer service sent me a free replacement pair. I've been using the laces for nearly a month and they work as expected. Would definitely recommend purchasing despite the issue with the first pair ordered.

Pros
  • Shoe, Jewelry & Watch Accessories
Cons
  • The laces may not match the color of the outfit

Length and materials perfect for my shoes

Worked perfectly for my sneakers that need longer laces to accommodate inserts in the shoe. They stay tied relatively well too; which seems to be an issue with some laces. I'd buy again.

Pros
  • I got the wrong size but they are good shoe laces .
Cons
  • The round shape might not suit everyone's taste

Good for lacing up a corset

I actually bought these to replace some corset laces for a costume. I knew already that they were the length I needed (one lace starting at the bottom and going to the middle, and the other lace starting at the top and going to the middle). They do this job very well -- they are high quality and the wax makes them easy to work with. If you are using them for this, I recommend measuring your current laces to make sure it is long enough. I wear a pretty small corset (24-26"), if you are much…

Pros
  • Wax Has Been Forced All The Way Through The Fabric, Rather Than Just Coating Its Surface, Providing a Lasting Knot.
Cons
  • The wax on the laces may attract dirt easily

Works for Nike Mercurial Veloce III fg cleats!

My daughter broke her Nike cleat lace on her $110 cleats after just 5 months. They were 1/8 in., FLAT shoelaces, 45in. in length. I called Nike and they do not carry any type of replacement, which is crazy since they still sell several cleats using the flat laces. I could not find a replacement 1/8 in. flat 45 in. lace online. After searching forever, I settled for these ROUND 1/8in laces and they work great! They are thin enough to fit through the very small lace holes and are sturdy! I do not

Pros
  • Enhances the value of vintage shoes
Cons
  • The laces may stretch out over time
