This auction are for 2 Pairs (4 laces) of high quality thin cotton waxed shoe laces. Wax laces are the most durable of all and will stay tied because the wax has been force all the way through the fabric, rather than just coating its surface. The length of shoelaces can vary for different types of shoes. The best way to find the right length is to remove the old shoelace and measure it from one end to another.
