Neon Orange & Navy Ticked Flat Shoelaces – 1 Pair
Details
About the Maker & This Pair
Whiskers Laces was created by Kyle Groth and Mike Gossett in Delray Beach, Florida, after a broken dress shoelace sent Kyle searching for a better replacement. Its first laces launched in December 2017, and January 2018 was its first full month of business; the company describes 2018 as its founding year. The founders set out to turn an overlooked accessory into a way to express personal style. Their approach combines distinctive colors, considered footwear design and American lace production, giving customers a way to refresh shoes they already own.
Refresh casual sneakers with a neon orange & navy color combination and a flat ticked pattern. The contrasting marks add detail across the lace without changing the shoe itself. Choose the available length that works with your eyelet layout and preferred bow. Product photographs show examples on low-top and high-top footwear, rather than a guarantee that every shoe model takes the same length.

Features
Design & Choosing Your Length
- Color: Neon Orange & Navy.
- Profile: Flat Ticked.
- Quantity: one pair, meaning two individual laces.
- Wrapped aglets and an included birch storage spool.
To choose a length, remove one of your current laces and measure it from tip to tip without stretching it. Compare that measurement with the available options, taking account of how much bow and spare lace you prefer. Eyelet count alone does not establish a universal fit because shoe width, eyelet spacing and lacing style vary. Check that the aglet passes through your shoe’s eyelets before replacing both laces, then center the lace and adjust tension evenly as you lace upward.

Materials
Materials & Construction
The maker specifies a polyester/nylon weave with a flat ticked pattern and wrapped aglets. The short contrasting marks are part of the visual pattern. Exact fiber percentages, lace width and aglet measurements are not published, so those dimensions and ratios are not inferred from the photographs.
Each pair comes on a birch storage spool sourced from Maine. The spool keeps the pair together between uses. A claim about the spool’s sourcing does not establish a recycled-content percentage for a cotton lace, nylon component or proprietary surface finish.
Care
Care & Storage
A product-specific washing, detergent, drying or coating-care procedure was not found in the maker’s published information. Retain any care information supplied with the pair and obtain guidance for this exact material and finish before washing or treating it. Sock-care directions on lace-and-sock bundles do not establish shoelace care.
Use the supplied spool to keep the two laces together when they are not in a shoe. Before relacing, check the tips and braid for wear so a damaged end is not forced through an eyelet. Select a replacement based on actual length, profile and eyelet fit; a similar color does not make two different lace constructions interchangeable.
