Sof Sole Round Boot Laces

These laces are awesome! They came in the exact size I ordered. They are extremely tough and show no signs of falling apart after several months of use. Finally I can properly lace my boots without making numerous knots. I will buy from this company again.

First, I have to say, these laces are heavy-duty. Very thick, and very strong. They're a great replacement for worn-out or poor-quality stock laces. They also grip very well and, when the correct size is ordered, only require a single bow to make them short enough. They're very grippy, although they may require a secondary knot on top to ensure they are secure through heavy use, as many boot laces do. The only bad aspect is that their thickness can create a major problem fitting them to some boots. I had a very difficult time fitting the ends through the eyelets of my Lowa Renegade GTX boots. I got them through, but not without considerable effort. Some people may not be able to get them through at all. They also require a bit more care in lacing up to ensure they are securely in the hooks. I notice that other reviewers have complained about the ends unraveling. I did not experience this. Mine were solid despite having to be forced through the eyelets. However, I will note that this is a common problem with many laces, particularly as they get older. The solution is simple and works for all laces: cauterize the ends with a lighter. All in all, they're an excellent lace, and a great replacement for the horrible laces that came with my boots. I should have replaced them long ago.

I did a 23 mile winter backpacking trip and when I got home my boot laces tore in 2 places (for once Murphy's law didn't apply!). I ordered these and they are the perfect size for my pac boots and they stay tied. I've only used them on my boots a dozen times so far so can't comment on durability. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is one of the ends, for each of the laces, was larger in diameter than the other end. On many, regular shoestring eyelet holes this probably wouldn't be a problem. But on my boots, they have raised, metal, oblong eyelets for the bottom 5 pair. I couldn't get the larger end through the bottom 5 eyelets without pulling them through with a pliers (the other end of the laces went through fine). The top 5 are simply hooks and obviously aren't an issue. If I was on the trail, I would've had a very difficult time lacing my boots since I don't carry a pliers. I was going to order a 2nd backup pair but I'm going to consider another product because of this issue.

They are made really good and last along time.

These laces were replacements for my original laces on Timberland boots. The 60" length is the perfect replacement, and the design of the laces is great. The laces are heavy and sturdy and feel like they will last a long time. The only downside to this whole deal was the price, which was about twice the suggested price shown on the packaging. I highly recommend these if you are looking for good boot laces. The ends are sealed with the plastic as you would expect them to be.

I bought these laces to replace the ones that came with my boots several years ago. I was looking for something cheap and basic to replace what I had, but I didn't realize that the laces I had on my previous boots were actually of decent quality. These laces are your basic black lace. They aren't particularly thick, they don't have an inner core (at least not a big one), but they do the job. I bought the 60 inch laces for my short boots (like a high-top shoe with 2 set of hooks above the ankle) and they fit well. I'm only giving 3 stars because they are already starting to fray a little about 2 weeks after purchase. I expect I will have to replace them in a few months, but then again they only cost a few dollars.

I LOVE these laces! I have a pair of Wenger boots that I purchased from Eddie Bauer about two years ago. The laces were about the break in a couple of places, so I looked online to see what was available. When I saw these, which were round like the originals, but a brown & black stripe, I thought they would be perfect, since the boots are a very dark brown. Anyway, they are super! The color combo is great with the leather, and they are really sturdy. FIVE STARS!!

You may be asking "What's the big deal about a pair of laces?" Unfortunately, it seems many shoe makers don't give this item much thought these days. I've had many pairs of shoes where the laces make wearing the shoes a hassle or the laces simply don't last very long. This pair of laces is considerably better in quality. My shoes look better and feel more securely tied just by simply buying a better quality pair of laces. Thank you Sof Sole for understanding that little things always count.
