Introducing all 3 types

[Round string (ester)]

These shoelaces are made from a chemical fiber called Ester. Slightly thin string width.

Most commonly used scotch grain.

It has the following features compared to general "waxed shoelaces" as shoelaces for leather shoes.

• less glossy
• Difficult to remove from the beginning
• chewy
• There is a little fluff and there is not much sense of luxury

It's not very glossy and doesn't look luxurious, but it's a reasonable and practical shoelace that won't come loose from the beginning.

[Waxed round string (Katahimo)]

This is a type of waxed shoelace that is impregnated with wax.

Compared to general "waxed shoelaces with only surface treatment of wax", it has the following features.

• Sticky and hard to dissolve
• less glossy
• Highly durable and resistant to pilling

Normally, when you put on and take off your shoes, the shoelaces rub against the eyelets and get fuzzy, but this type of shoelace is less fuzzy and highly durable.

However, on the other hand, on the other hand, it requires force when tightening and loosening the string, and the eyelets are easily damaged.

[flat string]

Probably the common waxed shoelace type.

It has almost no coating and has a soft texture, and is a little thick for a flat cord used for dress shoes.

Unlike the other two types, the color development is said to have three or more colors.
Zonta Calf's Bordeaux and navy shoes had flat laces of the same color, so it seems that there is also a color development around that.

There were only a limited number of models with flat cords, but flat cords look more dressy, so you can change the atmosphere by replacing the models with round cords.

Scotch grain shoelace length recommendations

Genuine shoelaces vary in length depending on the "model" and "size".

As an example, the length of the string was 70 cm for "25.5 cm, inner feather, 5 eyelets".

However, the appropriate length will change depending on not only "model" and "size", but also "wing opening" and "preference".

Therefore, when purchasing shoelaces, it is recommended to measure the length of the shoelaces that are currently attached and select based on that.

If you are troublesome to measure, please refer to the following article for the length guideline.
