Laces for Mountain Boots must withstand abrasion, moisture and rough terrain. Choose sturdy Outdoor Laces of 160 or 180 cm that stay tight at hooks and eyelets across the full shaft.
Laces for mountain boots: abrasion-resistant and tight across the full shaft
Mountain boots have a high stiff shaft with metal hooks where laces must slide without snagging. Outdoor Laces are the standard because their cord shape slides through hooks better than flat laces. Choose 160 cm for mid-height and 180 cm for full mountain boots. The material must withstand moisture, dirt and rock friction. Waxed Round Laces add moisture resistance and knot retention.
