Waxed Round Shoelaces – Light Brown 75 cm (Barth, Pair)

Description

Waxed Round Shoelaces – Light Brown 75 cm

These are the laces I reach for on a proper pair of leather shoes. Waxed round shoelaces in light brown by Barth are coated in a fine layer of wax that gives a subtle sheen, helps repel light rain and – best of all – keeps your knot locked in place. German-made and supplied as a full pair, each lace 75 cm long.

Light brown is a warm, lighter tan – ideal for cognac, tan and lighter brown leather shoes. At 75 cm this is a shorter lace, perfect for low brogues, derbies and Oxfords.

Personally, I think a waxed lace is the finishing touch that separates a smart shoe from a truly polished one. The wax coating means they hold a knot far better than an ordinary cotton lace, so your bow stays crisp from breakfast to last orders.

Why choose these light brown waxed round laces?

• Waxed for a lasting knot. The wax coating grips itself, so your bow stays tied through the day – no more mid-morning re-lacing.
• Subtle sheen, smart finish. A gentle lustre that flatters brogues, Oxfords and derbies beautifully.
• Water-repellent. The wax helps shrug off light rain and keeps the laces looking fresh.
• Barth quality. Four generations of German craftsmanship – strong, round and built to last.
• Sold as a full pair. Two matching laces per pack, so both shoes are covered.
• The polished detail. The easiest way to make a good pair of shoes look genuinely well-kept.

How to lace them up

1. Remove the old laces and wipe the eyelets clean.
2. Thread the waxed lace through the bottom eyelets, keeping the ends even.
3. Work upward in a straight-bar or criss-cross pattern – both look smart on leather shoes.
4. Pull snug and tie; the wax will help the knot hold firm all day.

As a rough guide, 75 cm suits around 3 pairs of eyelets – think low shoes, derbies and low-top trainers.

Caring for your waxed laces

Waxed laces look after themselves for the most part. Wipe them with a dry cloth to keep the sheen, and avoid soaking them, as that can lift the wax over time. Kept in a drawer between wears, a spare pair will be ready the moment your current laces start to look tired.
