Shine a Spotlight On Your Laces, They Need It
It’s time to stop with the boring laces. Those all-white or brown ones have served enough time on your feet. Whether you’ve broken a shoelace, or want something to update your classic kicks, Whiskers Laces is here to add some fun to a typically dull subject. Pick from striped, braided, ticked or solid, in a variety of hues and tones, guaranteed to match your style, even if it changes every single day. At 33-inches, the laces work with both dress and casual shoes.

Each distinctive lace comes with premium aglets and arrives wrapped around a wooden spool because nothing looks worse on top of an otherwise organized dresser than loose laces. Start your day off on the right foot — complete with an excellent looking pair of laces.
