FAQs
Are these laces waterproof?
While not fully waterproof, the wax coating provides significant moisture resistance, helping the laces stay dry and prevent water absorption.
Can I use these on running shoes?
They are designed specifically for hiking boots. They will likely be far too long for standard running shoes.
How do I know if 152cm is the right length for my boots?
Measure your current laces end-to-end. If they are close to 150cm or your boots have a high collar with many eyelets, these will be a suitable replacement.
Do these laces stretch over time?
The material is designed to be low-stretch to ensure your boots maintain a consistent, firm fit throughout your hike.
What is the best way to clean these?
Wipe them with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or bleach, as these can strip the wax coating.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
The wax coating provides extra grip; ensure you are using a standard reef knot or double knot, and pull the laces firmly during each crossing.
Excessive length causing a tripping hazard
If the laces are too long, wrap them around the ankle collar of your boot before tying them at the front.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High resistance to fraying and wear
- Water-repellent material keeps knots secure in damp conditions
- Generous 152cm length accommodates most hiking boots
- Provides a tighter, more reliable grip than standard cotton laces
Cons
- Wax coating may feel slightly tacky initially
- Length is too excessive for low-cut shoes
- Black color only option may not match all footwear styles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove your old laces and ensure eyelets are free of debris. Thread the 152cm laces starting from the bottom eyelets, pulling evenly to balance both sides. If the laces are too long for your specific boot, you can create a double-knot or utilize the extra length for a secure wrap-around technique around the ankle. To care for them, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth if they become caked in mud. Avoid machine washing, as high-heat drying can degrade the wax coating and compromise the structural integrity of the fibers.
