Waxed Round Shoelaces – Red 75cm

Description

Waxed Round Shoelaces – Red, 75cm

These waxed round shoelaces in red are part of our own Shoespecialist range, and they are one of my favourite ways to add a little character to a pair of shoes. The cotton is coated in a smooth wax finish that gives the lace a subtle sheen, a satisfying firmness and a knot that genuinely stays put.

That wax coating does more than look good: it helps the laces shed light rain and resist dirt, so a bold red keeps its colour instead of turning grubby. At 75cm they suit roughly 4 to 5 pairs of eyelets, which makes them a lovely fit for smart shoes, brogues and anywhere you want a lace with a bit of confidence. Supplied per pair.

I love a waxed lace for its balance of smart and characterful. A red pair is an easy, affordable way to put your own stamp on a classic shoe without committing to anything permanent.

Why choose these red waxed shoelaces?

• Holds a knot beautifully. The waxed finish grips itself, so the bow stays tied far longer than a plain cotton lace.
• Water and dirt resistant. The coating helps the red colour stay bright and shrug off light showers.
• Smart, glossy look. That gentle sheen lifts dress shoes and brogues and shows you have paid attention to the details.
• A pop of red. A characterful colour that lets you personalise a classic pair without any fuss.
• Right length. 75cm covers roughly 4 to 5 pairs of eyelets for a tidy, well-proportioned bow.
• Our own range. Chosen and stocked by us, so you get the colour and quality we are happy to put our name to.

How to fit your new laces

1. Remove the old laces and wipe out the eyelets.
2. Line up the waxed pair so both tips are even.
3. Lace from the bottom upward, keeping tension steady as you climb.
4. Even up both sides and tie a firm double bow if you like extra hold.
5. Run your fingers along the lace to settle the wax and smooth it out.

A tip from me

If the wax ever feels a little stiff in cold weather, warm the lace gently between your hands before lacing up – it softens the coating and makes threading through the eyelets effortless. Store them loosely coiled rather than knotted so the wax does not crease.

Frequently asked questions

What does the wax coating actually do?

It gives the lace a smart sheen, helps it repel light rain and dirt, and makes the knot hold better. It is the classic finish for dress-shoe laces.

Will 75cm be the right length?

Yes for roughly 4 to 5 pairs of eyelets. If your shoe has more or fewer eyelet pairs, count them and match the length accordingly.

Should I keep a spare set?

I always recommend it. Waxed laces are the one part of a shoe that wears out long before the shoe itself, and at this price it is worth tucking a spare pair in the cupboard so you are never caught out the morning of an important day.
