I recently purchased a pair of dress shoes that tends to be tough on laces. By that I mean that the laces that came with the shoes were quickly frayed by the friction of passing through they eyes, and broke within a few weeks. I tried to purchase some laces locally, but they too quickly frayed. I decided to purchase these laces - 8 pairs, in fact, to make sure I'd have a plenty of replacements as they too shredded. Big mistake. These laces look good and are top quality. 1 pair of laces will likely last longer than the shoes. No signs of wear at all. Wish the shoe manufacturer would have used these laces in the first place. Certainly would have saved me several shopping trips.

These laces are thicker than what you normally see in dress shoes, but I don't find that they in any way detract from the appearance of my shoes. Most importantly, they're very tough and strong. I no longer worry about too quickly and firmly tightening my laces - these will take any abuse I throw at them and not flinch. If I lose the extra laces I purchased and someday find myself in need of replacement laces, I can only hope to be fortunate enough to again find these laces available for sale on Amazon.

Based on the reviews and looks from pictures I ordered few pairs in black. Unfortunately these are boot or casual wear laces and NOT fit to be called, at best, the formal or oxford looks. But I am keeping them for my other casual wear boots and as it seems I will run out of boots but these will last longer than shoes itself.

These are much thicker and seem pretty strong. Another good part about them is that they dont get loose as much as others do, specifically the formal/thin ones do. I do like them but wish I could use them for formal wear which I can not.

My disclaimer, as business requirements and my personal choice, I am little particular about small details that may depend case to case basis but thought one should know before ordering - as my 2c and humble opinion. Hope this helps

Thanks

FootGalaxy offers a variety of shoelace styles to fulfill all your shoe-tying needs. These round laces are my favorite shoelaces in the world: they are extremely well made, have extraordinarily tough aglets, and are very reasonably priced. These laces seem slightly larger in diameter than typical laces, and are almost assuredly better than the laces that come with a new pair of shoes. Even though flat laces generally stay more securely tied than round laces in my experience, these round laces exhibit no tendency to come untied without provocation. (If you want flat laces, FootGalaxy also makes those, though I have not personally used them.) These laces always have always outlasted the shoes I have put them in.

The laces are very reasonably priced, but shipping a single pair is pricey; I recommend buying a few pairs at the same time to save on shipping charges. The people at FootGalaxy have come up with a wide variety of colors for you to try, so feel free to experiment.

I highly recommend these shoelaces.

I bought a few pair of these in unusual colors to dress up some older sneakers (Navy-Gold Chip). The new Laces look nice. Shipping was reasonable as I ordered multiple pairs for a flat rate ($5 S&H for 10 pair is very reasonable).
The Colors were true to the image/description. Good quality laces.

Now I automatically change out the White laces on all my new sneakers with coordinating Color Laces... I get comments/compliments even when I wear a not so new pair of sneakers with new Color Laces.

My husband needed a new pair of laces for his dress shoes and we were surprised at how challenging it can be to find them in stores. We took a gamble on these and were delighted by their quality and strength. They don't have that waxy, slippery texture to them that guarantees that your laces become untied several times a day. We'll be buying more.

Generally, the laces that come with man's casual shoes are some slippery synthetic that comes loose or untied on its own several times a day. In the past, I have usually gone with cotton replacements. Not so durable, but they stay tied. These laces are great. I don't know what they are made of, but they do stay tied all day, and they don't snag on the rough skin of my hands like cotton. I've used them for maybe a month, and they show no signs or wear or fraying.

I was looking for plain round sturdy shoe laces. I never imagined so many choices were available from FootGalaxy. I found just the ones I was looking for in plain white. I only wish there were more choices in local stores because paying $5.50 to put shoe laces in an envelope to send by USPS seems excessive, three times the cost of the laces themselves.

These feel like sturdy well made laces. The only thing that I did not like about them was the tip ends don't feel so sturdy. I was able to push through the laces in tight shoe holes without too much effort. These laces tie well. The feel good to use.

With both my timberlands and doc martens, the shoelaces frayed within the first 2-3 months of buying them. These laces were the perfect replacement. The look good, but even more importantly, they are fully woven, waxed, and the tips seem like they will hold up forever. Beware of the metal-tipped version of these, as the tips are too big to fit through most eyelets.

The best laces on the market are the Trail Creek aramid (generic Kevlar) core laces from St. Louis Braid Company; however, these are not available in the shorter walking shoe lengths. After much research, I chose to buy these FootGalaxy round laces. They are most excellent laces, and wear very well. I can highly recommend them, and would have given five stars, but for the very noticeable difference between the color selections and the actual laces. The "maroon" laces turned out to be quite red, and my spouse hates this color on my shoes, but what's a guy to do?
