Waxed Laces
These waxed laces are available in flat or round profiles, woven from cotton or polyester threads with a thin wax coating applied to the surface. The wax treatment provides a subtle sheen that adds a refined, polished appearance to footwear. The coating also delivers functional benefits, increasing the lace's resistance to moisture and providing enhanced grip that helps maintain knot stability during extended wear.
The wax surface offers improved friction characteristics, reducing the likelihood of loosening through regular use. Available in multiple colors, these laces are suitable for dress shoes, casual footwear, and boots where a refined appearance with practical performance is desired. The wax treatment supports long-lasting shape and appearance maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do waxed laces stay tied better than regular laces?
Yes. The wax coating provides enhanced friction that helps maintain knot integrity, reducing the likelihood of loosening during extended wear.
Are waxed laces water-resistant?
The wax treatment provides a degree of moisture resistance, helping protect the lace from water absorption and maintaining its structural integrity.
How should waxed laces be cleaned?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking, as prolonged water exposure may affect the wax coating. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantities vary by profile, color, and length requirements. Please contact our sales team for specific MOQ information based on your needs.
