These laces look great and feel like they should be durable. Unfortunately, after 7 work days (tying shoes maybe 10 times - i have to put on steel-toes to go down to the shop some days, so occasionally I tie them twice in a day) one of the laces tore right off. Inspecting them now, it appears both laces are ready to break at the upper eye holes.For hard numbers, these arrived and were installed Jan 18. Snapped Jan 28. Shoes only worn at work.Absolutely NOT a durable shoelace. For this price, I could get three pairs at walmart... I assumed these would last, but I guess I was wrong. :(

I purchased these shoelaces to replace a missing string pull on a cloth bag. They did the trick. They were easy to thread through the track at the top of the bag and they were long enough to tie the bag shut. A perfect inexpensive solution in a fun color.

I purchased these laces about a year ago, after having my previous laces fray in the middle. I put them on my nicer dress shoes and wear them almost every day. The laces have not shown any signs of wear, and have held up through everything so far. These laces are much higher quality than I was expecting for the price point, so I am very pleased with this purchase. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for new laces that are durable and don't break the bank.

You get what you pay for. They have good appearance and look like quality laces, but they are weak and will break easily if you pull too hard.

These are very fine laces that actually fit through the holes on my Naots!They are waxed which is ok, but I would have been fine without waxed as well

Are you tired of your shoes looking like they survived a puppy apocalypse? Do your laces have a shorter lifespan than a mayfly? Well, fellow dog parent and dress shoe enthusiast, let me introduce you to these Benchmark waxed laces!THE GOOD STUFF:• Lightly waxed finish - classy without looking like you dipped them in a candle• Slim profile - threads through eyelets like butter, no bulk or awkward lumps• 27" length - perfect for dress shoes (assuming your dog leaves them alone long enough to measure)• Quality construction - for however long they survive the furry menaceCOLOR NOTE:Quick heads up on the navy - it's noticeably lighter than shown in their photos. Still definitely navy, but if you're expecting the almost-black shade from the listing, you might be surprised. Think "navy that's been to the beach" rather than "navy that shops at Hot Topic."APPEARANCE & FEEL:These laces strike a nice balance - the wax coating is subtle enough to avoid that "trying too hard" shine, but present enough to add a polished look. They're satisfyingly thin, making them perfect for dress shoes where chunky laces would look like hiking boots crashed a formal party.THE REALITY CHECK:Look, if your dogs are anything like mine, no lace is truly immortal. But at least while these last, they look pretty darn good! The quality is solid, even if my dogs' appreciation for fine shoelaces means I'll be ordering more.VALUE PROPOSITION:• Great variety of colors and sizes (just expect them a touch lighter than pictured)• Decent quality construction• Dog-approved taste (perhaps too approved...)• Reasonable price point for what you getPerfect for:• Dress shoe enthusiasts• People who appreciate subtle sophistication• Dog owners (keep buying them, we all know how this ends)• Anyone tired of chunky laces ruining their shoe gameWould I recommend? Yes - they're good quality laces that do exactly what they promise. Just maybe store your shoes behinUPDATE: Wilbur ate the shoes.
