Waxed Round Shoelaces – Azure Blue 75 cm

Description

Waxed Round Shoelaces – Azure Blue, 75 cm – a smart, water-repellent finish

Waxed laces are one of those small touches that make a real difference. Our waxed round shoelaces in azure blue come from our own Shoespecialist range – a slim round cord finished with a light coat of wax that gives a subtle sheen, helps repel rain and stops the ends unravelling. Azure blue is a fresh, confident colour that pops against tan leather and gives navy or grey shoes a lift. At 75 cm they suit shoes and trainers with around 4 pairs of eyelets. They are the laces I recommend when someone wants their brogues or smart boots to look that little bit sharper.

The wax does more than look good. It helps the lace shrug off light showers, keeps dirt from soaking in, and lets the lace hold its knot more firmly than a plain cotton lace. Supplied per two (a full pair) with neat, firm tips that thread easily through fine eyelets.

Why choose these waxed round laces?

• Water-repellent wax finish – shrugs off light rain and keeps the laces looking fresh in British weather.
• Subtle sheen – a refined, polished look that lifts leather shoes and boots.
• Grips its knot – the waxed round profile holds a bow firmly with less re-tying.
• Eye-catching azure blue – an easy way to add a bit of personality to a smart pair.
• Own-brand quality at a fair price – the same standard I am happy to put my own name to.

How to use and care for them

1. Remove the old laces and count your eyelet pairs.
2. Match the length: 75 cm suits shoes and trainers with around 4 pairs of eyelets.
3. Thread straight-bar for a formal finish, then tie a small, neat bow.
4. To refresh the sheen over time, wipe gently with a dry cloth – avoid the washing machine, which strips the wax.

Choosing the right length

Getting the length right matters more than anything else, so here is my quick guide based on the number of eyelet pairs on your shoe:

• 45 cm – 2 to 3 pairs of eyelets
• 65 cm – 3 to 4 pairs
• 75 cm – around 4 pairs
• 90 cm – roughly 5 pairs
• 120 cm – 6 to 7 pairs
• 150 cm – 7 to 8 pairs
• 180 cm – 8 to 10 pairs, ideal for boots
• 200 cm and up – tall boots with 10+ pairs

This 75 cm pair is cut for shoes and trainers with around 4 pairs of eyelets. Count the pairs of holes on one shoe, and if you land between two sizes go for the longer option – you can always tuck a little extra away, but a lace that is too short is a daily frustration.

Frequently asked questions

Are waxed laces waterproof?

They are water-repellent rather than fully waterproof – the wax coat helps rain bead off and keeps the laces looking smart, which is ideal for everyday UK weather.

Can I wash them?

I would keep them out of the machine, as washing strips the wax. A wipe with a dry cloth is all they need to look their best.

How long does the wax last?

It settles in nicely over time and holds up well with everyday wear. A quick buff with a dry cloth brings the sheen straight back whenever you fancy.
