Elite Hockey Prolace Waxed Hockey Skate Laces (Orange, 96")

So far so good. Just laced them, so we'll see how long they last. I measured my son's laces that his skates came with and rounded down to the nearest size - ordered 108". (My son wears a size 4 skate) They ended up way longer that the originals so he must be able to pull laces much tighter! I wish the listing had showed the sizing guide on the back of the box:Youth 8 - Junior 3 : 72" / 182 cmJunior 3.5 - 5.5 : 84" / 213 cmAdult 5.5 - 7 : 96" / 243 cmAdult 7 - 9 : 108" / 274 cmAdult 9 - 11 : 120" / 304 cmAdult 11 - 13 : 130" / 330 cm

I purchased these in purple to complement my Bauer Vapor hockey skates. Folks at the skating rink kept commenting on my laces, and I like that it makes me stand out from others on the ice. This is a dark purple color, which I wanted, so if you want a brighter shade, look elsewhere.The waxed laces make a world of difference from the cotton ones that come with the skates. When I tighten these, I can feel (and see) that they stay in place, which keeps my skates tighter overall.A note on sizing: My skate size is a Bauer Senior 6, and the 96" laces work perfectly. If you have new skates (like I did), keep in mind that as they break in, you'll be able to tighten them more, so you'll gradually have more lace length to tie. At first, it may seem like just enough, but don't order a size up, or you'll have a crazy long amount hanging down.

If you're not using waxed laces, then you are not getting the full potential out of your skates or skating. These are great laces with quick delivery and the width is spot on.You can lace your skates loose in one area and then tight in another without the stretching found with traditional laces.

I bought a couple of pairs, one for my boyfriend and the other for myself. The colors are really strong and look great. I only casually skate and they've held up perfectly. The quality of wax is great, they stay put. My boyfriend plays hockey and they started wearing (thinning/ looking frail) within just a couple of games though they haven't broken yet and he's been using them for a while now.

These laces are great! They hold so tight that it's sometimes difficult to get them loosened when you're done skating. The yellow color is great and matches the color scheme of skate almost perfectly. The only downside are the molded ends, which I'm worried will come apart quickly. However, even that worry isn't enough to make me knock them down from 5 stars. These are my go to laces from now on.

Not as "waxy" as my previous laces. I noticed my laces don't stay in place as effectively as other brands that seem to be more "waxy". I'll keep them for now, but was wondering if I just got a bad batch as they feel really smooth (almost un-waxed).

Can't go wrong with these laces, they stay tight during games and very rarely come loose. Wax does begin to go away after about a month of skating and I've had some instances where the molded tip has come apart, but only after some good use. Overall, I haven't had these snap on me yet and there's usually never a need to re-tie the skates during a game/stick session. It's also great that

These are the only laces to buy. If you have never used waxed laces before you need to right now. Seriously, stop reading this and buy them. High quality and, as long as another skate doesn't run across them like happened to me, they last a really long time.
