Compare Wax Laces

How wax laces a lightweigh & better: Elite, Graf, BauerNike or ProGuard?

[sharks25 9]

Elite oval. Best laces I've ever used, hands down.

[qmechanic 17]

I've only tried Elite and Bauer, but I like Bauer the best by far. I bought five pairs of Bauer waxed laces.

[bigdmac 12]

Haha I've tried the Bauer and the Elite and my favourite is Graf!

Why Bauer better?

[CAmmon 2]

I've tried elite, bauer, and graf laces and my favorite is the graf laces. I like them better because theyre wider than either of the others.

AGREED

I've always stood by my A&R wax laces. Maybe I'll pick up a pair of Elite oval laces and give them a shot if I ever happen to see them in a shop...

I've always loved Bauer, seems to have the longest lasting wax in my opinion.

I like my howies waxed laces!

Only recently switched to Graf waxed laces, and their good. But i have nothing to compare it too.

I have tried Elite and Bauer and I prefer the Bauer as the Elites were too narrow. Haven't tried Graf or Howies but will if I find a place to buy them locally.

Ditto.

Just ditched the Elite waxed for the Elite "Pro" non waxed. Can't see myself ever going back again. MUCH MUCH easier to lace, unlace, and adjust once on your foot without wax. Just a counter thought.

Seems like no one likes the Pro Guard wax laces. Any reason for that? It is all my LHS sells.

[Beflar 53]

Chadd, thoughts?

Adjust without wax compare with wax?

I like the Pro Guard waxed the best so far, but I'll probably try the Elite Oval waxed. I didn't like the old Elite laces because they didn't seem to have enough wax on them for me.

Which brand has the metal ends crimped on? I've had a pair for a year or so and they've worked out great. Now I need a new pair but cant remember what they are. Anyone know?

Those are SkateMate Gorilla laces.

Those are SkateMate Gorilla laces.

Oh thats right, thanks!

[Axxion89 32]

Call me crazy but I buy only the black or white elite wax laces for the reason that they are either lightly waxed or that they actually have no wax at all. I bought blue Elite wax laces and they were so coated in wax that they actually could point straight holding them in the air! Every color was like that except the black and white ones, weirdest thing in the world.

[CAmmon 2]

I've purchased black and white elite laces like that as well. It must be luck of the draw.

Right. Wax forces you to pretty much start loosening from the top all the way back down to the tight spot whereas without wax, I can pull or loosen up just that spot and then move up to the top. On the bench between shifts while trying to catch your breath it's just nice to have it quick and done.

I like my howies waxed laces!

Second that about Howies...they are great!
