Black Boot Laces Round Waxed Cotton - by Fort Belvedere

When it comes to altering formality, elevating appearances, and adding pop, new shoelaces, and bootlaces can have an effect similar to buying an entirely new pair of shoes or boots! Best of all, they are comparatively inexpensive and totally reversible, unlike many other alterations you could make to your outfit. While thick shoelaces are best reserved for athletic shoes, dress shoes will benefit from elegantly slim round or flat shoelaces that emphasize the finer points of beautiful footwear. All Fort Belvedere shoelaces have been extensively tested for durability, functionality, and longevity, and we also offer longer laces that can be worn with boots.    

IF SHOELACES
While it may seem that all shoelaces are the same, nothing could be further from the truth. Shoelace varieties massively impact the look and functionality of your shoes and should never be ignored. Thick, bulky shoelaces are intended to be worn only with athletic shoes. Dress shoes should be worn with slim, elegant shoelaces that are round or flat, depending on the shoe type and formality.

When it comes to construction, the differences are even more apparent. Cheap shoelaces use inferior cotton or synthetic blends that have no durability, causing them to wear quickly and snap even under regular use. At Fort Belvedere, we undertook a rigorous series of exhaustive tests over an 18-month period to develop the perfect shoelaces. Because they are made from sturdy long-staple cotton, these shoelaces can be just 2 mm, or 1/13,” wide, without compromising on strength. Even if you regularly lace your shoes tightly and pull them very hard, these laces won’t snap.

A Rainbow of Colors. Fort Belvedere bootlaces come in an ever-expanding range of rich, vibrant colors.

Long-Staple Waxed Cotton. Thanks to its long staple, the cotton used in these bootlaces has greater tensile strength even when the laces themselves are very thin. Waxed for convenience and durability, these bootlaces are truly made to last.

Perfect for All Boots. Both in length and width, the dimensions for these bootlaces were specifically designed to pair beautifully with all boots, including balmoral boots, derby boots, work boots, and heritage boots!

Round Laces. The most traditional of laces, flat laces can be worn with any boot for a sedate, conventional look that is effortlessly elegant and refined.

Made in Italy. Adhering to the quality standards of Italian craftsmanship, these bootlaces will not only stand up to regular lacing, but they will also look beautiful while doing so because the plush colors will not fade.

Buy in Bulk and Save. To help you mix and match colors and styles, we offer discount pricing when you make multiple purchases - after all, it helps us, so we’re happy to help you! Buy 4 pairs of cotton bootlaces for $30. Buy 9 pairs for $60. Buy 15 pairs for $90.

Ultimately, because Fort Belvedere bootlaces are drawn from a color palette typical of the Classic Style, you can pair our bootlaces with almost any pair of boots to good effect.

That being said, the basic tenets of color theory that are typical to Classic Style still apply. Black boots tend to look stately and becoming with darker laces in blue or green or gray, while reds, pinks, and purples add a bolder pop. Brown boots look more formal with shades of brown and dark laces, while yellows, oranges, and bright colors are more casual.

Leveraging bootlaces will allow you to make all of the boots in your collection go even further. Want to dress down a pair of black balmorals? Try pink laces! Want to make a pair of tan walking boots more formal? Try dark brown, round laces. The only limit is your creativity because, with bootlaces from Fort Belvedere, you can make your boots as subtle or as dandified as you desire! 

IF BOOTLACES
While it is already difficult to find quality shoelaces, it is even more challenging to find proper bootlaces that aren’t just black or brown! To fill this void, Fort Belvedere is proud to offer our line of colorful bootlaces, designed to pair effortlessly with every type of boot, from a dress balmoral to a heritage work boot.

Cheap bootlaces are usually made from nylon or polyester and are thick and ugly. At Fort Belvedere, we undertook a rigorous series of exhaustive tests over 2 years to develop bootlaces that look great but don’t compromise on functionality. Made from quality long-staple cotton, these bootlaces are thin and refined, giving the stately appearance you desire, with the durability and utility expected of bootlaces. 

These shoelaces are 80 cm or 31.5” long and (WIDTH)
