Breaking Laces Sucks!


Built to Take a Beating

Intact laces are made for skaters who destroy gear. Woven from the world’s toughest fiber, they hold up through grip tape, flicks, and every slammed session.

No frays. No blowouts. Just clean style that lasts longer than your shoes.

While everyone else is skating on knotted-up junk, you’re still laced and locked.


The Tie That Doesn’t Quit


Stop retying your shoes mid-session. This is the only way to lace up and lock in, so your laces stay tied no matter how hard you ride.

How it started

Coronado Skatepark, San Diego. April 1, 2014.

I (Dan) had just started skating again after a 24-year break. Eric, still going strong after 30+ years, showed up and began lacing his Half Cabs with ‘heavy-duty’ black and tan boot laces.

I asked him one question…


We skated for just over an hour.
By the end of the session… the boot lace had snapped.


And Then It Hit Us

The next day, I started digging. Surely someone had solved the “laces that break too fast” problem. But after hours of searching — nothing.

Then I remembered a clip I’d seen on TV. A guy breaks out of zip tie handcuffs using his shoelaces. Nylon cord.

That was the spark.

Making laces isn’t easy. We found that out fast.

For weeks, five of us lived in a blur of nylon cords, razors, aglets, lighters, crimpers, pliers, duct tape, and a whole lot of trial and error. One step forward, two steps back. Aglets flew off. Burns happened. But we kept going.

Those early prototypes were tough. But the material we use now? It’s on a completely different level, the world’s strongest synthetic fiber. Way beyond nylon. Built to last longer than anything else on your shoes.

We were stoked. But one question stuck:

Were we just hyped on our own Kool-Aid?

We Put Them to the Test

At that time, we were based in Clairemont, San Diego, home of Krause Family Skatepark. So we started handing out prototype laces to locals, visitors, and anyone ripping the park that day.

Amateurs. Pros. Lifers.

Over the next few weeks, the feedback came in loud and clear:

“These hold up.”

“No snapping.”

“Still going after two weeks of skating.”

From ledges to gaps, session after session, the response was nearly universal:

Intact Laces didn’t just survive, they earned respect.

Ready to Stay Intact?

Shoelaces have always been the weak link in skateboarding. We fixed that.

Intact laces are built with elite materials that outlast your shoes — not just your old laces. They’re tough, clean, and engineered to take real abuse: grip tape, weather, flick after flick. No snap. No stretch. No quit.

Now here’s the kicker:

  • Regular laces cost around $5.44
  • High-end “Kevlar” ones go for up to $19
  • Most skaters break 5 pairs a month

That’s $25 to $30 a month spent on laces that don’t last.

One pair of Intact laces replaces all of that.

And they don’t cost $24. Or $19.

You can grab a pair right now for just $11.47.

Why so low?

Because we want real skaters — the ones who destroy gear — to actually use them. If $11.47 sounds too high for laces that don’t quit, maybe these aren’t for you.

But if you’re tired of snapping laces mid-session?

You know what to do.

Put Them to the Test

If you manage to break them while skating during that time, we’ll send you a new pair, free.

No forms. No hassle. Just laces that hold up, or we make it right.

You’ve seen the problem. You’ve seen the solution.
