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

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!

Worth every dime. I’ve had a few pairs of Ironlace and I’m convinced you’ll never find any better. They not only last as long as your boots, but also for the next pair. Mine never come unlaced halfway through the day because they’re not smooth and slippery like the cheap laces that look like they’re made from recycled pop bottles.

I buy a new pair of these with every boot I buy. I go through a pair of boots every year and although the color fades and they don't look the greatest Ive never had a pair break and I'm on my 4th set. I could reuse the old ones but I've gotten a different length boot every time. I lace my boots pretty tight and have always had a problem with breaking laces my newest pair of boots had nice looking laces on them so I decided to not buy these and after 3 months I broke one so I just had to buy another set of Ironlace and decided to write a review while I was at it.

As far as their claim to be indestructible, I will agree with that. I actually tried to cut one of these and it is not easy to do. I tried tin snips and scissors and both took multiple attempts to get through all strands of the lace. They are strong. There are downsides though. The plastic coating to keep the ends from fraying falls off easily and when the ends fray it's very difficult cutting off the excess due to the indestructibility. Not a huge deal because I already had a package of metal lace ends that can be clamped on. This solves that problem. Next problem is they come untied easily if only tying them once. If you double tie them and give a good yank these things will not only stay tied, but will be hard to untie at that point. The last problem is that they are far from being black. They're essentially grey and a light grey at that. I really wished these were a true black. Would I recommend these? Absolutely. They work and they are strong. They also are easy to pull loose from the eyelets in a pair of due to their strength and rigidity. Overall I like these laces a lot. My biggest complaint is they're not black.

These are not sweetheart fluffy feeling laces meant to be stylish. These are tanks made to not break. They are closer to steel cables than laces. I've worn-out one pair of shoes with them, and they never broke. Highly recommend.

Upgrade your boots even from what comes with them. My boots were such a pain to take off. I’m a concrete pump operator. My boots see concrete, hydraulic oil, diesel, grease, dirt, concrete removal chemicals(acids). My old laces always held like a memory. These ones are amazing. Strong and when I unlace them my boots open up with relief. I hate boots. I can’t wait to take them off and throw on my Ariats. I’d get so mad unlacing them. Darn things wouldn’t want to come off! lol. These laces are bomb.com

I bought these laces almost three years ago. The laces are holding up better than the boots I placed them in. The color has faded a bit. But showing no signs of wear. I will buy another pair.

Great laces! They don’t seem to mind the heat from welding, sparks from grinding or solvents and fluids from the heavy equipment industry. However, both times that I have ordered these laces they say they’ll be there the next day or two and they end up taking two weeks and showing up unexpectedly. Both times the box was absolutely trashed like it literally came out of the trash, see the photo.

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.

Ótima qualidade, mas pensei que a circunferência (espessura) era maior.

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.

Ajustan en los agujeros y tenzan muy bien la bota se sienten resistentes
