Review on 2 Pairs 5/16" Wide Flat Shoe Laces - Perfect For Running Sneakers & Boots! by Felicia Evans

This is my 3rd order of DELELE brand athletic selection and variety of atletic shoe laces. They are ALMOST perfect replacements for my New Balance women's Fresh Foam running shoes. As another reviewer pointed out, New Balance laces are absurdly long, measuring 50 inches. They also come untied very easily and frequently, such that I had to keep pausing my work-outs to retie my shoes! As much as I love New Balance brand athletic shoes, I have been dissatisfied with their shoelaces, and was happy to find a highly rated brand of replacement laces to try and buy on Revain.First off, I love the wide assortment of DELELE's vibrant colors that are available to choose from! I am one of those people who needs a lot of color in my life, and even though I obviously can't match the DELELE lace colors to the original lace colors of my New Balance shoes, I was able to find other colors that coordinated or contrasted nicely with my shoe colors. The second and perhaps best feature of these laces is that they stay tied!The reason I deducted a star from my rating is that I was looking for a pair of 45 inch shoelaces, which is the recommended length for having 6 eyelets. Since this also happens to be a very popular length for athletic shoe laces, I was surprised to learn that DELELE offers lengths of 43 and 47.24, but not 45. I chose 43 because I was tired of having laces that are too long , however the 43 inch laces are a tad short especially since I like using the 7th optional eyelet. So I guess I chose the lesser of the 2 evils. The other thing I didn't like was that the DELELE laces are significantly wider than the New Balance laces, so it took me extra time and effort to push them through the eyelets. I wish the manufacturer would have offered more than one width for these laces.Despite my aforementioned gripes, I would say that overall I am pleased with these laces, and will re-order from this company when I need more.
