Thin Round Cotton Shoelaces - 3/32" - 18" to 48" cm lengths - 16 colours - Laces for dress shoes and boots - Made in England

the only reason anyone buys waxed laces is if you have a pair of boots or shoes that constantly come untied. the wax keeps them from moving once you cinch them up and they will not untie until you untie them on purpose. i have a pair of boots i love (in 3 colors now) but the d-rings stop at the top of the foot rather than going up the ankle. so i couldn't cinch them tight enough on my feet to walk in them. the laces they came with were super cute, but flat and cotton, so they were too weak to secure the boot closed without slipping as you walked.i picked up a pair of Timberland waxed laces for only $5 a pair (don't know why they're double that on Amazon) and they keep the boot closed nicely. i have Timberland laces in 2 of the 3 but wanted to try this company with such a wide selection of colors. i know my moms Nike gym shoes annoy her b/c they come untied constantly too so i figured that. and i have another pair that won't stay laced, so i figured if they're anything like the Tims, this will be a solid investment in laces that will hold shoes cinched nicely without untying.well, these are thinner, so not as substantial as the Tims laces. and they have hardly any wax applied. these right away slipped from where i cinched them to while trying the boots on. compared to the Tims which are stiff because of he wax and therefore unable to slip once tied. so, despite waiting 8 or 9 days, and expecting something like the Tims, they're weaker in every way. had i never had the Tims to compare these to, maybe they'd be a 4-star, but if i could do it over, i'd wait until the next Tims sale and get the laces i really want. they were out of the black and blue in the sizes i needed so that the other reason i tried this company. they're fine, but b/c there is barely any wax, they really do not help the boot stay closed the way the Tims are on the other 2 pairs. these, 3-star, Timberlands, 5-star.

I have a pair of shoes with just one shoelace hole per side, and the 18" laces fit the bill perfectly. They also fit in a pair with three holes per side, but it was pretty close to being too short. The 24" ones were great for those shoes. I love the colors! The width is also great - feels very sturdy and high quality. I was worried they would be really thin, but these are about 2-3 mm diameter, which is great. I've ordered several more pairs since I like changing out the colors.

The laces are exactly as described and seem to be of high quality

These are great laces. Perfect for 8 or 10 eyelet dress shoes. I like to mix it up at the office, you can only push things so far in a business environment, a brightly colored shirt, black slacks, black shoes . . . BOOM - splash of color. They all look great with black shoes. I got the gray and red in this order and came back to get 3 more 😃

Perfect size for Cabbage Patch doll shoes.

Fit perfectly and well made

I have had these laces for several weeks now and they are both good looking and solid. I would definitely order them again and I am sure will do so when they eventually wear out.

Perfect!
