Design details

MADE IN EUROPE MANUFACTURING : 100% of our Forclaz shoes are made in Europe.

These laces are manufactured in the European Union, in Italy, in a factory that specialises in making shoelaces

The advantages of these laces in a nutshell

These laces have been developed to provide a high level of wear resistance. They are all waterproof, and will not therefore absorb the water that might get into your shoes. The chosen shape is flat making it more comfortable to lace up shoes that are more flexible. The FLAT shape is also better for holding the knot tight, making them less likely to come undone because of the wider friction surface.

How long should your laces be?

The easiest way to work out how long your laces need to be is to compare them with your old laces. But the number of eyelets also gives you a good indication

What shape of laces to choose Do you go for flat laces or round laces?

Round laces: Advantage: they slide better through the eyelets, making them easier to tighten with a more even tightening force. Weakness: they come undone more quickly. Flat laces: Advantage: they are less likely to come undone. Weakness: they slide less easily through the eyelets and are therefore more difficult to tighten.
