Polyester shoelaces – TYPE 13734 SHOELACES RUNNING BRAID

Description

Flat polyester shoelaces for running footwear are designed with an emphasis on strength, durability and comfort for everyday use. They are the ideal choice for running shoes where reliable foot fixation is key, but thanks to their properties they are also suitable for other types of athletic and leisure footwear. Made from quality polyester renowned for high resistance to abrasion and moisture. The surface texture keeps the knot firm – which you will particularly appreciate during athletic performance.

Technical specifications

Oval cross-section (flat profile), material: 100% polyester including the core, cellulose tip finish. The oval shape combines the advantages of flat and round shoelaces – they lie straight in the eyelet like flat shoelaces, but have a fuller profile that holds the knot better and looks more robust.

“Run for joy. Rely on shoelaces that hold.”

Why is a firm knot important when running?

When running, the shoelaces knot is repeatedly tensioned and released with every footstrike. Classic smooth-surface shoelaces come undone after a few kilometres – and stopping to retie during a race means lost time, while during training it disrupts your rhythm. Polyester flat shoelaces with a textured surface have higher friction in the knot, allowing them to stay tied throughout the entire run. If your shoelaces have been repeatedly coming undone mid-training, the coarser texture and oval cross-section solve this problem.
