Red Glazed Cotton Sneaker Shoelaces – 1 Pair

About the Maker & This Pair

Whiskers Laces was created by Kyle Groth and Mike Gossett in Delray Beach, Florida, after a broken dress shoelace sent Kyle searching for a better replacement. Its first laces launched in December 2017, and January 2018 was its first full month of business; the company describes 2018 as its founding year. The founders set out to turn an overlooked accessory into a way to express personal style. Their approach combines distinctive colors, considered footwear design and American lace production, giving customers a way to refresh shoes they already own.

Bring a red accent and a glazed surface to casual sneakers. The flat cotton construction and proprietary Tuscan Glazed finish are intended to provide a more structured appearance than an ordinary uncoated cotton lace. Select the length that suits your shoe and tying preference. “Tuscan” is the name of the finish, while the product’s manufacturing statement identifies North Carolina.

Design & Choosing Your Length

• Color: Red.
• Profile: Flat Glazed.
• Quantity: one pair, meaning two individual laces.
• Wrapped aglets and an included birch storage spool.

To choose a length, remove one of your current laces and measure it from tip to tip without stretching it. Compare that measurement with the available options, taking account of how much bow and spare lace you prefer. Eyelet count alone does not establish a universal fit because shoe width, eyelet spacing and lacing style vary. Check that the aglet passes through your shoe’s eyelets before replacing both laces, then center the lace and adjust tension evenly as you lace upward.

Materials & Construction

These are flat cotton laces with the maker’s proprietary Tuscan Glazed finish and wrapped aglets. The product page describes the finish as water resistant; it does not establish waterproof performance or publish a coating formula. The glazed cotton construction is different from the polyester/nylon athletic and ticked styles.

Each pair comes on a birch storage spool sourced from Maine. The spool keeps the pair together between uses. A claim about the spool’s sourcing does not establish a recycled-content percentage for a cotton lace, nylon component or proprietary surface finish.

Care & Storage

A product-specific washing, detergent, drying or coating-care procedure was not found in the maker’s published information. Retain any care information supplied with the pair and obtain guidance for this exact material and finish before washing or treating it. Sock-care directions on lace-and-sock bundles do not establish shoelace care.

Use the supplied spool to keep the two laces together when they are not in a shoe. Before relacing, check the tips and braid for wear so a damaged end is not forced through an eyelet. Select a replacement based on actual length, profile and eyelet fit; a similar color does not make two different lace constructions interchangeable.
