Shoe Laces

Does anyone know where one can purchase long red shoe laces to be worn with brogues?

Not sure about red laces specifically made for brogues, but a hockey shop or a place that sells boot laces might have red laces long enough to get the job done. The whaddyacallits on the ends are a different matter entirely.

Ask Rathdown, but I think that company went out of business.

Yes, thanks Rex. I remember that thread.

I found these on ebay, not sure if 72" long would do, of course you would have to transfer the ends from another pair of laces.

Yes, they were all tied up.

Sanford, once you get your laces you could order a set of these to get the leather "thistle" ends. As for the red laces, I would check out your local shoe shop and get a suitable white pair and dye them. Also, maybe you could explain why red ones are correct for formal wear. I have never heard of such a thing till I seen it posted here a couple of times. Also perhaps a Mod could move this over to the Traditional section.

The link above is for round hiking laces. Not sure if its the thickness you are looking for. From the description it sounds like you get 144" of lace and you cut to length. Red and Navy are the only colors available in the checkout.
