FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the wax coating?
The wax coating enhances durability, provides water resistance, and helps the laces stay securely tied, reducing the need for frequent re-tying.
How long are these laces?
These laces are 114cm (approximately 45 inches) in length.
Are these laces suitable for all types of boots?
They are designed for hiking and work boots. While versatile, their 114cm length is best suited for boots with 5-7 pairs of eyelets. Measure your boots if unsure.
Can I wash these laces?
It is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth. Machine washing or harsh detergents can damage the wax coating.
What should I do if the wax wears off?
You can reapply a thin layer of neutral wax, such as beeswax, to restore the grip and water-resistant properties of the laces.
Will the black color fade?
The black color is designed to be durable. However, like most textiles, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight may cause some gradual fading over extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure the knot is tied securely. If the wax coating has worn off significantly, consider reapplying a thin layer of neutral wax.
Laces fraying prematurely
Check for sharp edges on boot eyelets that might be causing friction. Ensure laces are not overly tightened, which can stress the material.
Incorrect length for boots
Measure your existing laces or boot eyelet count to determine the correct length for future purchases. These are 114cm and suitable for most standard boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply thread the Sof Sole Wax Boot Laces through the eyelets of your boots from bottom to top, ensuring an even distribution of lace length. Tie your boots as usual, noting the improved knot security from the wax coating.
Compatibility: These 114cm laces are compatible with most standard hiking boots, work boots, and outdoor footwear that have between 5-7 pairs of eyelets. It is recommended to measure your existing laces if unsure about the required length.
Care: To maintain the laces, periodically wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can degrade the wax coating. If the wax wears down significantly over time, you can re-apply a thin layer of neutral wax (like beeswax) to restore their grip and water resistance.
