Questions & Answers

What length do you think a 5 should be? Is it possible to ice skate with a group of five wide boys?

I got the 84-inch length because I'm an 8-inch skater. I didn't want them to be so long that you had to wrap them around your ankle to wear them. My daughter is a size 2 skater, so I got the 72 inch for her. In my opinion, they're the ideal length; I hope this information is useful.

What size moxi skates should I get?

I have moxi beach bunnies in a size 6 and got both the 96in (based on reviews) and the 120in (because I really wanted the color), but I wish I had gotten the 108in instead. The 96in came with the bunnies, but it was too short to double knot on the top hooks, so if you want to tie it up to the top hook and double knot it, I recommend getting the 108in. 120 inches is unquestionably the maximum size. I don't mind that it's a little too long and has a big bow on it.

How big should the lace be for Sure-Fit? Roller Skates with a strong grip ?

My Sure Grip Boardwalk Skates came in at 84 inches.

For low-top roller skates, what length should I get?

If you're talking about speed skates, 72-inch laces are the way to go. High skates, such as Moxi, have 84-inch laces.

This firm is performing admirably
5/5

This organization never fails to amaze me. They've provided me with a number of pairs of laces for both my roller derby and skateboarding shoes. skates for use in parks The quality is outstanding. The wax on the outside is one of a kind. Durability and efficacy were definitely taken into consideration when designing this product. br>br>Unfortunately, the last time I ordered from them, I went to the park on my skates and the laces ripped as soon as I hit the concrete. Since I'd never ripped a lace on first impact, I assumed it was a defective lace. br>When I got home, I sent the company an email through Amazon explaining what had happened and asking if I could have an extra lace. Instead, they sent me TWO sets of laces, as well as a lovely bag. br>This company KNOWS how to keep their customers happy, and they are deserving of every penny we spend on their lace. br>I can't wait to get my hands on another pair, and then another, and another!.

Impala Laces are a step up
5/5

I'm new to skating and recently purchased Impala skates; however, the laces that came with my skates are wider and softer, and not long enough to lace all the way up, resulting in less ankle support. I decided to give these a try; I ordered the 108 inch length and they are perfect. I wanted to lace up my Impala's all the way up and have enough go around the ankle as well; I could have gone for the longest length but didn't want too much extra. I'm already a fan of these laces because they're stronger and thinner, and they fit perfectly in the eyelets. And now that my impalas have laces that actually lace up, I feel like my skates have more support. There was a small part that appeared to be messed up, and I'm sure I could have had them replaced easily enough, but it's just a minor surface imperfection that wouldn't compromise the integrity of the laces, so it's not a big deal and it's barely noticeable. EDIT: br>br> I just received a replacement pair of laces from Derby Lace and a Drawstring Bag in the mail. This company really cares about quality, their laces are amazing and they have so many options, 100% getting any future laces I need from them. Many thanks to Derby Laces.

Both in terms of appearance and functionality
5/5

A++. These are fantastic! I can tell the wax will keep the lace tightness in place because it's not overpowering. I chose the teal color. 84" in purple They are a perfect match for my Sure-Fit. Boardwalk skates have a perfect grip. Third photo shows that the length is sufficient to go all the way to the top (11 eyelets) OR to skip the top couple and wrap around the ankle. They'd have to be longer if you wanted to do both. I don't care for either of them, so they're perfect for me. Sure-Fit is shown with and without the addition of Sure-Fit. Grip toe- guards. I have faith in the product's quality and the company's genuine desire to provide a good product. Thank you, Derby Laces, for your excellent service!.

Quite sturdy and long-lasting; To distinguish between left and right feet, use two different colors
4/5

(Wife): I ordered two colors of 96" Derby Core laces: Grape and hot pink. Waxed laces are the type you're looking for. br>br>The Derby Core laces are quite durable. However, if you fall while skating in the street or on rough asphalt, your laces, like other laces, may be abraded. Even so, they appear to be more durable than softer laces. br>br>My skates are a pair of Sure Grip Fames with outdoor wheels and softer laces than the Derby Core laces. I'm fairly certain that switching to Derby Core laces was the right decision - Both are likely to have a longer lifespan than their counterparts. adding a fun pop of color to the stock laces The 96" length was also a little longer than the stock laces, which I appreciated. Initially, I struggled to keep the laces tied - Especially when practicing forward toe stop braking and some basic asphalt tricks (which occasionally resulted in falls). br>br>In my experience, lacing my laces with much smaller loops than in the photo - Honestly, tying them to the back of my high-rise a couple of times if you're lucky - My laces seemed to come undone less frequently on the street as a result of this. A double- It's also possible that tying a knot would be beneficial - and skating forward with a braking method other than a toe stop, such as a plow stop or drag stop (also known as a t-stop). stop - Although it is more difficult for me to do on quads than on inlines). br>br>I'm glad I bought two colors because it's a lot easier to tell the left from the right skates! I adore the look as well. I think it's a lot more interesting than white alone. )br>br>Another thought: )br>br> If you prefer one part of your skate to be laced tighter than the other, you could get much shorter lengths and use two shorter laces per skate - At least, if you're wearing high-top skates. Because I'm a newbie, I'm still figuring out which lacing style is best for me. br>br>It's my hope that this information is useful. = ).

The laces of the Holy Grail! In periwinkle, I purchased the size 96 inch
5/5

It's a gorgeous color, but in comparison to my black skates, it's more of a pale, almost white hue. My only criticism is that I should have ordered a size larger. For my Lollys, I usually order this size, and I always have extra to wrap around my boot. However, I recently purchased the new Panther skates from Moxi (basically a beach bunny), and the boot is a little too short when I make everything up to the top because the boot is bigger/wider. So, I decided to save this one for my Lollys and ordered the next size up.

Durable Laces and a Nice Upgrade at a Reasonable Price I've been rollerskating for nearly three months, and the stock laces on my Moxi Leopards were already fraying and looking worn
5/5

These are the best laces on the market, according to everyone on Instagram and YouTube. I purchased the 120" black ones and the 108" tan ones. They should fit any Moxi Bunny boot model as long as the lace length is greater than 84". I don't wrap my ankle because the boot provides adequate ankle support, and I prefer to double knot my laces to keep them from unraveling while skating. I've skated a few times with these laces, including a 1. I realized I had tied my boots too tight because they are quite strong and I'm used to tying cheap stock laces on a 5 mile rollout) and realized I had tied them too tight because they are quite strong and I'm used to tying cheap stock laces. The best part about these is that they're a simple and inexpensive way to personalize your skates, so I'll probably pick up a few more pairs to switch out depending on my mood.
