My wife loves these in her knee high boots. She ripped the laces in her boots, and was having a hard time finding laces for them and then I got these for her. They were a little too long, but that's fine. Better too long than too short. Nice and thick, chunky and good quality. Will last a good while it seems. They keep her boots nice and snug, now that we are in boot weather. It honestly would be silly to use such long laces in anything other than boots, unless you have insanely large feet, like over size 20, because these laces are massively long. Read more

Probably my fault but I was hoping these would fit my regular Doctor Marten 1460s. The eyelets can't accommodate the thiccness of these gloriously phatty laces. I even tried taking the aglet off and trimming back some of the lace to see if I could get them through. I was able to get a little bit through but once it hit the full bulk of the shoelace, no force in the universe was going to make it fit. Tl;dr- I'm not sure if the Rick Owens Docs have bigger eyelets or what, but I'm not able to use these laces in my regular boots. Read more

I thought I could use these for my DCs but unfortunately they are way too thick. The quality is nice though and if you have Rick Owens I’m sure these are perfect. Read more

There are certain shoes, and the ones that the seller uses to illustrate these laces are of that type, that beg to have laces that "announce themselves." There's a certain funkiness about some shoes that just begs to be emphasized by a contrasting color of noticeable laces. If you have such a pair of shoes, these laces are the perfect accompaniment. They are long. They are thick and wide and strong. The color, while not bright, would stand out on any shoe. The ones that I got are a kind of sandy beige color and I have some bright blue sneakers upon which these will look great. They are of a length that would work well on high-tops, but I'm sure with some creative lacing (which is what these cry out for) they could be adjusted to fit standard low-tops. There are strong aglets on the end of the laces, so they're easy to lace into your existing shoes. If you're looking for that little bit of pop to enhance your favorite kicks, these are it!
