All of us wear shoes, but shoelaces are often overlooked. Even though we tie them every day, do we know how many different types of shoelaces exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are different types of shoelaces, including leather, cotton, nylon, polyester, elastic, etc. These shoelaces come with several features and are available in various colors, lengths, and widths. Here is the list of 9 types of shoelaces:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The types of shoelaces you wear may vary depending on the materials used, their lengths, widths, colors, and the benefits and drawbacks. Let’s look at each one in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have probably been familiar with rawhide laces since they have been around for years. You might even have some pairs of shoes with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rawhide refers to leather that has not been tanned. However, unlike its name, rawhide shoelaces are made with regular, tanned leather and not actual rawhide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rawhide shoelaces are made from dairy cow leather, so they are strong and split-resistant. However, when rawhide shoelaces are dry, they are rigid and unsuitable for use. To use these shoelaces, you need to soak them in water for a few days, so they become soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rawhide shoelaces mostly have 3.5mm width. And they are mostly paired with boat shoes and moccasins. These shoelaces are extremely durable but less than other leather shoelaces. So, you may find other better options in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although rawhide shoelaces will never break on you, unfortunately, they are tough to tie. Another drawback I see with these shoelaces is that you cannot tie them very close and tight to the shoe. As a result, their knots are loose and eventually come untied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While these shoelaces are classic, durable, and look great with many outdoor shoes, they sometimes can become a hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cotton shoelace has been a standard for many years and is not uncommon for us. We all may have used these shoelaces at some point, but somehow, we replace them with other fancier shoelaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cotton shoelaces are usually paired with tennis shoes and fashion shoes such as Keds, Chuck Taylors, and Vans. In addition, you can get cotton shoelaces in various colors like white, black, red, yellow, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people prefer cotton shoelaces since they are easy to bind and have a firm grip. There are several benefits and drawbacks of cotton shoelaces; let\u2019s see them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
