Keen veriegated laces are by far the best non-leather laces I have found. Normal cheap laces last a few months at best when used daily, the keen laces last over a year.
Leather for the win
I use leather.
What they said
It looks like I'm going with Paracord. I can get 100ft of 550 for $9.95 free shipping. Paracord is always useful.
I love leather laces, and kevlar sounds interesting, but I'll have enough para to lace up an army of boots. I'm building an Army, an Army of zombies, so I will need a lot of laces.
Tks
I remember trying leather. seems they didn't works out for me due to rain. They would get slimy,stretchy and break. Maybe good in the dry??

I like kg’s boot guard brand kevlar laces. For those saying leather, can you recommend a brand to try? I gave up on leather because I was only getting 2-3 weeks out of them.

I kept breaking laces then bought leather ones. But it hasn't rained here since I bought them.
The purpose of leather as far as I've ever heard is when you have expensive boots that last a long time, regular laces are more abrasive and will wear the eyelets out. Leather won't.

I think you quoted the wrong person. I use the Kevlar ones because they don’t burn like nylon does
The thing about leather up here is that they use copious amounts of salts and minerals which eats leather boots and laces. My winter boots will effloresce for months after winter, just bleeding salt out of them. Even if you treat them with oil it cracks, just cracks soft.
Salt really is the debil.
Leather shoe laces for the win!! Use them to bind the wrists & ankles to stakes of a certain pest at the beach. Remember to wet them first so they can shrink naturally-
