Riedell's textured poly laces are made from a high quality polyester bland specifically designed for high intensity athletics. These are the same laces found on most high end Riedell boots, including Antiks, 495, Solaris, and others.
Though excellent for skates, these laces will fare equally well on boots for football, rugby, hockey, or any sport with quick lateral movements where keeping footwear in place is essential for performance.
