83" Shoelaces - There's not a whole lot to be said about a great pair of shoelaces, at least until you run into a pair from Dr. Martens. Strong, flexible, durable and attractive, these 83" shoelaces are ideal for boots and shoes. They have a very tough and thin eye that can lace up practically anything, and the flexible strings mean that you can pull the laces snug without threat of them ripping or fraying. While these shoelaces are a gloss black and were made to lace up a Dr. Martens boot specifically, there's certainly no rule that says you can't use these laces for your favorite shoes of any type. They're quality laces that will last. On a stylistic level, Dr. Martens' simple silhouettes allows their wearers to adopt the boots and shoes as part of their own individual and very distinctive style; on a practical level, their famous durability and comfort make them ideal for the unforgiving world of gigs and street fashion; and then finally on an emotional level, they are a badge of attitude and empowerment.
