Two Premium Shoelaces for Your Dress Shoes

From our shop's collection, we introduce two types of premium shoelaces recommended for dress shoes.

For those who want premium laces worthy of their high-end dress shoes
For those looking for an alternative to standard waxed shoelaces

If this sounds like you, this guide is for you.

Premium Dress Shoelace 1: "Stay-Tied Waxed Cotton Shoelaces"

A Different Waxing Process for Stay-Tied Performance and Enhanced Durability

Standard waxed shoelaces are processed by applying a type of wax called paraffin to the surface.

This process creates a beautiful sheen and rich color, but as the laces are threaded and tied, the wax wears off, reducing the sheen and causing the laces to fray.

Also, when new, the smooth wax surface can make them prone to coming untied until they are broken in.

In other words, the benefit of a beautiful sheen and color comes with a trade-off: they come untied easily at first, and the sheen eventually fades with use.

Unlike standard waxed laces, the "Stay-Tied Waxed Cotton Shoelaces" we are introducing today are processed by infusing a blend of waxes and oils deep into the cord.

While this results in a duller sheen and color, it offers significant advantages:

A tacky surface that helps them stay tied
Resistant to fraying and highly durable

Frayed shoelaces can make even the finest shoes look unkempt. Why not choose a shoelace that is designed to resist fraying from the start?

Braided in Kyoto by a Historic Maker of Kimono Cords

These laces are crafted by a historic braiding manufacturer that produces artisanal goods such as obijime (cords for securing kimono sashes).

This product requires delicate work to braid the fine threads; although machine-braided, the process involves a great deal of manual work by skilled artisans, resulting in a lace filled with expert craftsmanship.
