Cobbler's Choice Flat Waxed Cotton Laces - Durable for Boots & Shoes

55" is perfect for Red Wing Iron Rangers.

Reading other reviews I was concerned that the strings wouldn't appear waxed.The look, color, length is perfect. From the feel they seem to be pretty good quality. We will see how they perform. In the interim i can say. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for. Update: After wearing them a little bit. I noticed they come untied very easy due to the smoothness the wax provides. I believe that'll change with more wear. Other than that I stand by my previous comment. Update 12/30/23 As I suspected with more wears the strings do become slightly less smooth at the tie tension point and I don't have the coming untied issue anymore. This changed long before this update, it didn't take long.

I really like these laces! I bought a nice pair of boots, but they came with really long laces that were an unfortunate shade of brown. These black waxed cotton laces are perfect and they make my boots look extra classy. When the waxed laces are new they do tend to come untied, but that is easily fixed with a double knot.

I picked these up due to my Thursday sneaker laces being old and trashed. If you look on their official website, they don’t have replacement laces and instead offer Cobbler’s Choice Co., which is why I scooped these up here on Amazon. I’d say these are ymmv on quality. I ordered 2 pairs and 1 of the pairs, the quality wasn’t there (refer to pic). Comparing these to the Thursday sneakers laces, these are definitely thinner and longer. Not much stretch, but I definitely dig the shiny leather as it compliments my leather sneakers. As for value, I’m not sure. It’s definitely a tad bit on the pricier end and you could definitely find something similar and cheaper.

Swapping out laces is a relatively cheap and easy way to optimize the look (and laceability) of a pair of shoes. These Cobbler's Choice laces are my go-to's for sneakers and service boots. I have several pairs of the 55" laces that I use with Thursday low top sneakers, Grant Stone Diesel boots, and Red Wing Iron Rangers. With the boots, I find that it makes them look elevated and "Viberg-esque". After some experimentation, I prefer flat cotton laces more than other options: leather, kevlar, thin waxed cotton, etc. The waxing on these has always been somewhat subtle if I recall correctly, but enough to give them a bit of firmness and help them stay tied. Identifying the right color to match the shoe plays a big part in whether they look right together. Sometimes I find same or similar colors look right (brown laces with brown chromexel), and sometimes a contrasting color is in order (light grey laces with black matte leather). Most of the color options I would want are available here. They have been durable for me so far and I have not had to replace any over the 4 years I've been using them.

Sadly I'm having to update and change my review due to what I would consider an oddity. I've purchased 4-5 pairs of 55 inch flat waxed laces from cobblers choice. Always perfect until these. This pair of 55 flat waxed in navy are noticeably thinner in width and shorter than all my other pairs. I'm sure it's a 1 off mistake but definitely weird. Especially when I've always had a great experience with these. I'm sure the seller would fix the issue but I'm unaware of how to contact them. Update, I purchased another pair and it seems the qc is back up to speed.

Great, bold color and very strong. Appreciate the value for money here, it's a good deal.

Laces weren't flat they were rounded. Matched the color of my thursdays though.

Good. Not as pink as the picture but that is OK

Good

The laces look great. Will buy again.

These are perfect. Huge upgrade to standard laces

Bright colour - gives my boots a whole new look! Just as advertised.
