Scoff Skate Lace Review

By Stroh at 2009-08-31 13:05


Thanks to Skateboard-City's own Scoffman and Scoff Skateboarding, a few lucky Skateboard-City members have been lucky enough to receive free Scoff Skate Laces for review.

I have received my pair, put them through their paces, and here's the lowdown:

The laces are a navy blue color, with an almost waxy appearance due to the reinforcing. They are quite stiff as you can see in the second picture, they hold their shape unlike standard laces




The shoes i will be using are the Etnies Faction (unlaced).



I have skated them for about a month, i usually skate street, and i do my fair share of flip tricks. I do not do many switch tricks, and my switch foot lace usually holds up fairly well, so i have decided to put only my front lace in, and save the other lace for my next pair of shoes. I skate at least a couple hours a day, and my grip is fairly old and worn. However, i am purchasing a new deck soon, but i am confident that these laces will hold up great even against brand new grip.



Stock lace in left foot, scoff lace in right

Ease of lace up:
Semi difficult in non metal eye let shoes. The reinforced material makes pulling the laces through the eyelets kind of tough. Though tough to lace up, this factor adds to the next section...


Grip:
Extraordinary grip! 10/10, you can literally not tie your shoes, and they will stay as tight on your feet as you want. The material used to reinforce the laces is super duper grippy, and grips the eyelets almost too well. Once tied, these babies will not come loose.


Abrasion Resistance:
9/10, these laces have lasted longer than the shoe! the etnies quickly went to shit, but the scoff lace never ripped, there are small wear and tear marks, but the lace held up great, and i will be putting them in my adidas silas baxters which i just recently started skating


Fraying:
10/10 there was no fraying of the lace on my part. The reinforcing of the lace bonded each thread extremely well.


Appearance:
8/10 after being skated, the lace looks more or less the same as it did when i first received them aside from normal wear caused by skating. Some people may not like the look of the laces, and i did receive a couple comments from people asking what was up with the weird lace on my front foot. Honestly though, the only people who care are hypebeast faggots, if it performs well, then all is good in my book.


Overall:
9.5/10!! I HIGHLY recommend that ANYONE WHO RIPS LACES QUICKLY should buy some scoff laces. for only four bucks, these things are a steal! They will most likely out last your shoe, and if they do rip, you can staple the two ends a couple time instead of trying to knot it up. I would like to thank scoffman for his generosity of sending me a pair.

I'm going to have to get a pair of those, every shoe I've ever skated in has always ended up have about 2 laces left (the top 2 eyelets) which causes my shoes to get loose as fuck.

ill probably get them then after i use up my bathes of nike sb laces, there extremely durable also, made with kelvan

Jedi laces nice
Do you mean Kevlar instead of Kevlan though.
Kevlar will only help against tension problem unless the entire lace is made from it

exactly how much are these gonna be selling for?

i just ask because a shoe lace set from walmart is like a buck fifty, two for round ones, and for a good shoe design, laces are cheap enough to not warrant a bigger purpose.

4 bucks will get you a pair of regular scoff skate laces. 50 cents more will get you a limited colorway. And man these babies will last you.

$4 like Stroh said
in most cases they last twice as long but you take into account everything else they do besides last longer its more like they live the life of 4-5 pairs of laces
abrasion resistant +1 = last longer
shoe gripping +2 = shoe doesn't loosen up, even after the lace breaking
fused threads +1 = no fraying, no need to tie the lace, staple it back together without it tearing

normal lace = 1
Scoff Skatelace = 5

thats the best way I can put it for ya and its free shipping on all orders under $9 in the US so you just pay that $4 nothing else unless you live in CA(then theirs tax)

interesting. if nothing else im immensely curious.

by Iskatehard on Mon, 2009-08-31 22:32
Yeah. Like.. Normally I go through a handful of laces from skating and whatever else happens (i.e dog chewing >.<)... The problem isn't really the whole having to buy new laces.. Just that it's a bitch and it's inconvenient when mine get all torn up. I usually get them ripped and then it can be a few days before I can get to the store, and just shit like that. I am digging the idea of just putting one set on and leaving them on.. Even if it's not for the sake of saving money

by Scoffman on Mon, 2009-08-31 23:15
Iskatehard. It sure be interesting to see how it withstands your dogs mad chewing abuse. And your right its alot about convince with a Scoff Skatelace(minus lacing them up)
But whenever you grab a pair your more than welcome to right a review on what you thought of them and how "Dog-Proof" they really are. haha
