I combed through a wide range of shoelaces online looking to replace the original red waxed cotton laces on a pair of Robert Graham sneakers and ultimately chose these because the color in the photograph was the best match I could find. You can’t always trust the color of digital photos online but in this case the red proved a remarkably accurate match, and the thickness and length were also spot on. I’ve had them over a month now and have been very happy with them. Importantly, they stay tied. I’d definitely order these again. (They ship directly from China so delivery takes a long time—over a month in my case—but that was fine with me.)
