Why You Should Upgrade to Boot Laces

Upgrading to Boot Laces is one of the easiest ways to give your shoes a fresh look and feel. Standard laces often fray or snap after a few months, but quality Boot Laces are built to handle daily wear. They are usually stronger, look sharper, and hold a knot better than the cheap factory laces that come with most shoes.

A Quick Guide to Boot Laces: Lace Styles

When choosing Boot Laces, the shape is the most critical factor. Round laces are typically best for work boots and dress shoes because they are strong and slide easily through eyelets. Flat laces are the standard for sneakers and running shoes because they lie flat against your foot, which can be more comfortable for all-day wear.

Boot Laces Lace Length Guide

Quick Tip: If you like to double-knot your laces, or if you have wide feet that stretch the shoe opening wider, it's always safer to go one size up. It's much easier to tuck away a little extra lace than it is to struggle with a lace that's barely long enough to tie.

How to Lace Your Boot Laces Correctly

If you are wearing dress shoes with your Boot Laces, try Bar Lacing (also called Straight Lacing). This hides the diagonal crosses underneath and leaves neat horizontal bars on top. It looks much cleaner and more professional for formal occasions.

Buying Guide: Getting the Best Boot Laces

Check the tips (called aglets). Good quality Boot Laces will have solid plastic or metal tips that won't peel or crack. If the tip falls off, the lace becomes almost impossible to thread, so it's worth paying a little extra for quality here.

How to Clean and Care for Boot Laces

If your Boot Laces get dirty, don't just throw them in the washing machine, especially if they have metal tips. Hand-washing them in a bowl of warm water with a bit of soap is safer and just as effective. Let them air dry naturally.
