 For example, a synthetic material such as nylon likely won't last as long as a cotton lace. It's best to expect the shoe lace you purchase to last longer than a year.

It's important to remember though that these laces should be properly tied and remain tied until they are completely removed from the shoelace knot.

 This is actually more comfortable to do than you'd expect, but at the same time it can be a bit difficult to adjust when there isn't enough space to fit your fingers through. It's important that you choose a style that works for you.  

 Shoes with shorter tops will typically use this method with little or no changes at all.

Some shoes like the penny loafer variety for example, will be designed with a top lace that has one end slightly longer than the other. That way it will have a bit of a point sticking out from your shoes as opposed to having nothing at all.

What are shoelaces made of?

The main ingredient in any shoe lace is a form of textile, usually either cotton or nylon. These two materials have very different qualities, with nylon often being much sturdier and able to handle wear and tear better than cotton.

 However, natural fibers such as cotton are considered to be more comfortable to wear than nylon because it conforms to your foot's shape.The addition of rubber technology also adds another layer of comfort for the wearer. As a bonus, the laces will last longer when used with this combination of materials.
