Unbreakable Boot & Shoe Laces

I've got boots that keep shredding laces (I think an edge on one of the eyelets is slicing them) so I bought these hoping they would be different, or at least no risk with the guarantee. The good news: they are strong. 4 pairs of laces lasted less than a month, after a month these iron laces aren't even scratched so I'm certainly happy they will last me a decent time. The difference: they are harsh. These laces have zero stretch or give in them. It took a while to get them laced just right because they don't stretch and balance out as you walk and don't dream about slipping shoes on and off. They are very grippy against the eyelets and against themselves. It takes a little getting used to, but they come off after an hour walk with exactly the same tightness as when I first tied them. I think it's a good thing, as long as you have boots with open hook eyelets at the top or loosening these could be hard The bad: these are very harsh on the fingers. Pulling tight is hard (see above) and if you pull the knot too tight it hurts to undo. You need to accept that a mild knot will still hold it reliably. They also arrive very dirty. Part of the manufacturing process seems to leave them with a black powder residue that really gets over your hands. I suggest when you buy them give them a lot of wiping before first use, or that the manufacturer does it before packaging. I'm happy with the laces, it's sort of what you want in a heavy pair of boots as long as you know what you are getting.

Nice strong laces great qaulity nice choice of different lengths of laces like the colour pattern also like the fact there’s a nice sticker in the box too I liked it that much I stuck it on my fridge door proudly

I work in fuel delivery so have to wear specific boots that are oil and fuels resistant, with anti-slip soles and other requirements. The boots that meet the PPE requirements had laces fitted that were quickly cut up by eyelets that cut through the laces outer sleeve and then into the lace itself. These laces are amazing. I agree with other commenters who say they need double tying, but I was used to doing that anyway so it's not an issue for me. I didn't have the experience of colour coming off the laces onto my hands. I am hopeful these laces will outlast the boots by a comfortable margin and that they can be swapped over at a later date.

Definitely don't last a lifetime, I've just purchased another pair after my pair from early 2022 finally snapped in my Altbergs, however they do last a LOT longer than normal laces. My original Altberg laces only lasted 6 months so can't really complain!

When you first get these laces they feel stiff and abrasive. After a short time they "soften" but never as soft as traditional laces, this isn't to say they get weaker...just easier on the fingers.. Initially they'll leave black lines on your fingers when you tie them. It feels like the black dye sits on the surface of the laces fibres and is ground against the other laces when they're tied this also means they fade slightly to a dark grey. Are they unbreakable? This pair outlasted the work boots I bought them for. The original laces that came with the boots lasted a few months before fraying quite badly. These had no visible damage after 7 months and other than the faded colour were as good as the day I laced them onto the boots. The only reason I changed them was that my new boots needed longer laces....so I immediately bought a longer set of these.

Bought these to replace the laces in my new Scarpa walking boots as the original pair got a pull on them after a week. The seem very well made and I can envisage them lasting as long as the boots. We shall see! Usually I double knot my laces to stop them from loosening. However today I used a single knot to test them. After several hours only once did I have to re-tie one lace which is promising. Not the cheapest laces but most the time you get what you pay for and if these last like I think they will, its worth the extra money....Guranateed for life too but not sure how I go about claiming should they be compromised....So far so good 👍

The seem strong enough but the black gunk that comes off everywhere is ridiculous. Just sell them as dark grey. Has stained the leather of my very expensive boots.

Honestly perplexed by some of the other reviews. These are great laces. Very strong, easy to tie, stay tied. Work with normal lacing methods, likely to need double knotting but who's not doing that already? They don't hurt your hands, the other reviewers most be overly sensitive. They unlace easy enough, you don't need to pull them through every loop. They're not quite black, more of a metalic grey / black.

Very strong and tough laces. They will almost certainly outlast most workboots. I would prefer metal aglets as opposed to plastic. You will initially find them to be very stiff and slightly difficult to tie for the first few weeks of wear, and you should double knot them lest they come untied. Once they are broken in, they are comparable to other laces in terms of feel. I have two hard wildland fire seasons on these laces and have subjected them to repeated soakings, unimaginable muskeg gunk, jet-A aviation fuel, month-long periods of dampness, ash pits, and other forms of abuse that the average boot-lace should not be subjected to. If anything, this has just helped to break them in. The laces have faded to a dull grey (originally brown), but if you are buying these, you shouldn't really give a damn about the colour. After two wildland seasons, the plastic aglets are beginning to delaminate, but this this has not yet affected the integrity of the lace itself.

My girlfriend asked "why didn't you just buy shoe laces from the store?" And I answered her by wrapping the laces around my hands and trying as hard as I could to rip them in half. They're the best shoe laces in terms of sheer strength no doubt. My only complaint is they're somewhat thin in size. At least compared to the leather laces I'm used to.

Hält. Hält einfach. Verliert die braune Farbe dabei, weil die einfach beim Schnüren laufend abgerieben wird, aber.... Hält.

A solid, good quality lace with more than enough length. Laces are thin and stiff; the rough exterior actually prevents lace knot from untying. The color is versatile and goes with different shades of brown and tan shoes. I do recommend this product.

Great laces , best ones I ever bought , very long lasting
