Black round wax laces are the standard for formal shoes. Black asks for no attention, which on oxfords, derbies and business boots is exactly the point. The wax gives a restrained sheen that matches polished leather and keeps the lace flat instead of letting it go fuzzy. The full range is in the waxed round laces.

Usage and care
A worn lace gives away an otherwise well kept shoe faster than a dull toe cap does. Replace them in good time, certainly on formal models. Choose 80 cm for 3 to 4 eyelets per side, 100 cm for 4 to 5 eyelets and 120 cm for 5 to 6 eyelets. Pull evenly on both sides while lacing, so the ends stay the same length and the bow sits centred.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which length suits oxfords or derbies?
Oxfords usually have 3 to 4 eyelets per side and call for 80 cm. Derbies with 5 eyelets sit well on 100 cm.
Are round laces smarter than flat ones?
On formal shoes with small eyelets a thin round lace is the usual choice. Flat laces are more common on sneakers.
How often should I replace laces?
With daily wear, a year is normal. Fraying aglets or a thinning middle section are the signal.
How many laces do I receive?
Two, enough for one pair of shoes.
Black wax laces are the smallest part of a formal shoe with the largest effect on the whole.
