Unbreakable Round Bootlaces - Indestructible, Waterproof & Fire Resistant Laces, 1500-Pound Breaking Strength/Pair

It's made of a very durable material, wow! If it were a little thicker, that would be even better, but I'm happy with the price and its excellent quality.

I've had these same laces on 3 pairs of boots, and these Thorogood eyelets were the demise of this pair, just ordered another pair for the new boots im getting today, hoping to have the same results!! Yes the color faded. But you expect that being a welder. Still strong as ever even with a slight abrasion. There is a break in period where they are like trying to tie mig wire together, but after that, they tie nice and hold tight. Recommend these to everyone at work with new boots. Best Bang for your Buck!!

Most durable laces that can still be tied well enough that I have ever seen! Lasted over two years of heavy sparks and even occasional molten metal from use as a steel pipe fitter/fabricator. Normal cheap laces last a month or two, "durable" laces and the original laces that come with the name brand timberland boots last 3-5 months, these lasted over two years and more than paid in the difference in cost. Still they failed in the same way, dry rot and failure in the underside which never got cleaned but zero damage from sparks so they far outlasted everything. To give an idea of the abuse, my $190 timberland boots only last 12-16 months and my full leather apron to block the sparks at my stomach only lasts a year so these things can clearly take abuse. Worth the money for me most definitely. The main con is the cost, really unless your dealing with sparks or mud these arent worth your money in my opinion, but some people really need laces that can handle sparks and weld slpatter and these work for that surprizingly well. The only real con beyond the cost is the stiffness, they are more difficult to tie but I learned an effective way to tie it with little risk of untieing and easy untieing later. Single underloop to start basically the way most teach to tie shoes, then single bunny ear and pull the otherside all the way through (dont make two ears at the same time, just one), then bunny ear the other side as a double tie and get it very tight. The first bunny ear tightens to the shoe and the second ear tightens to the first ear. This way never has come untied unless the string was left too long and got stepped on, actually these get tighter than conventional laces only doing this way specifically but releasing isnt an issue since pulling the correct string will pull out one loop then pull the other and its untied. The laces do require a very tight tie to not come untied, but doing the separate single bunny ears as described allows for a very tight tie without the shoe itself being too tight. Dunno why but tieing the bunny ears together for a double tie does not stay tied since they are too stiff, and only doing the bunny ears for a single tie as normally taught for tennis shoes doesnt stay either. And this style isnt as effective with normal laces as with these laces either, im on my feet for 10-12 hours a day in these climbing over stuff and climbing inside of pipe and never came untied unless the release string was pulled. Yet my thin laces on my tennis shoes never stayed tied with this tieing style. If you need laces that can handle sparks and can figure out a tie for them since they are thicker these are very highly recommended!

They are great shoe laces and last a long time, but they are not brown. They are Tan. I wish they made a truly Brown pair because I'd like to purchase another set.

Extremely durable, highly heat resistant, as a wildland firefighter laces are important, I've never broken or burned through a pair of these and they stay tied. I make my whole crew buy them. Coloring fades immediately, but who cares.

Do your shoelaces wear out and break? Not these! Super sturdy and long!

Wow- tough as nails and stays tied on my winter boots. I snowshoe with gaiters and the laces stand up to the metal lace clip with no problem. Excellent product!

While these laces look like they’ll last a long time (which so far, they probably will) the color does not last. Mine went from brown to tan to light beige in a matter of 3 weeks. If this continues, they’ll be almost white in a couple of months.

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.

The product was received promptly and sealed in original packaging. I can't comment on their durability yet as I haven't had them long enough but I will update (particularly if they don't last as long as I hope). However, they look and feel to be very high quality. As noted by others, the laces are relatively thin. In fairness, that info is provided in the item description (they are 1/8" or 3mm across). I've uploaded images showing the IronLace next to the ones being replaced so you can see the size difference though I should note that the old ones have swollen a bit with use over time. The size of the laces, as well as the solid aglets (tight and strong), made lacing the boots very easy. The laces themselves are stiff with a slight texture to them. I don't mind the stiffness and had no issues using them as-is out of the box. To this point I haven't had any issue with them loosening or becoming untied. I got the black version and, as the images show, they are more of a very dark grey, close to black but not a true black. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase at this point.

I have bought multiple pairs for all my footwear. No complaints. If you're tired of laces wearing out well before the shoe/ boot does- get yourself a pair pf these.

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.
