Double-waxed showpiece laces

Made in Italy

Long-lasting and robust

Thanks to the combination of first-class cotton and our traditional waxing, LACCICO shoelaces are tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant and long-lasting. The result is shape-retaining laces that you will enjoy for a long time.

European braiding meets modern technology

Our waxed shoelaces are made in close cooperation with selected traditional braiding mills in Europe. There, modern braiding machines are used to carefully produce densely braided shoelaces from the finest yarns. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology makes the unmistakable LACCICO quality.

Our philosophy: shoelaces that suit the shoe

We offer waxed shoelaces made of 100 % cotton, for a refined look and a pleasant feel.

100 % cotton

Pure cotton, waxed, hot-rolled and polished, with a smooth surface and a silky-matt sheen.

Why LACCICO?

Your benefits in detail:

  1. Shape-retaining & resilient: Thanks to the densely braided construction of tear-resistant cotton, every lace stays shape-retaining and resilient in everyday use.
  2. Waxed & abrasion-resistant: The waxed finish makes our premium shoelaces dirt-resistant and weatherproof and gives them a refined, silky-sheen look.
  3. Unique feel: Experience the supple, grippy and soft yet solid quality.

The wax fully penetrates the fibre structure of the cotton braid, much like tanning agents penetrate leather. It protects the cotton fibre against moisture, prevents the fibres from fraying mechanically and reduces friction, so that the lace glides smoothly and with little wear through the eyelets when you tie it.

LACCICO length guide (rule of thumb for classic footwear)

The right length matters for both fit and look. As a rule of thumb for classic footwear, count the pairs of eyelets:

  • 1–2 pairs of eyelets: 45 cm
  • 3–4 pairs of eyelets: 60 cm
  • 4–5 pairs of eyelets: 75 cm (with Derby lacing, from 5 pairs of eyelets possibly 90 cm, depending on the foot)
  • 5–6 pairs of eyelets: 90 cm
  • 7–8 pairs of eyelets: 120 cm
  • 9+ pairs of eyelets / boots: 150 to 180 cm

Master's tip: If in doubt, measure your old laces unlaced. That way you get a good fit that matches your preferences exactly.

Of 100 % quality cotton, densely braided on modern braiding machines in traditional European companies.

Water-repellent and shape-retaining: The waxing saturates the dense cotton braid and prevents moisture from getting straight into the fibre strand. Even in persistent wet weather the material does not soften: the lace keeps its firm structure, does not stretch and stays reliably tear-resistant.
