I just received these, and they're seeming to fray after only one day of use. I can see some of the green innards of the laces. Anyone else ?

I have used them for two months now in construction. The only problem is that the color has faded.

I would contact ironlace themselves and explain, im positive they would send you a new pair for free. I have 2 pairs of ironlaces and the ones that are older started to fray at the ends after about 3 months of heavy use, so i plasti-dipped the ends and they came out awesome. So if you contact ironlace and they don't require you to send the old ones in i would highly recommend you do that

I have had mine for about a year. I use them on a pair of shoes that I love, and pretty much wear every day, and they have held up well. I suspect that they'll outlast my fraying shoes at this point.

I think it must be a defective batch. We use ours everyday and they are still holding tight. Maybe have amazon ship out some new ones?

No, I have not had that happen. I would send them back or exchange them. They are definately worth it. I swear by these after many years of problems.

Mine has held up well and even left them out in the snow...been a rough winter and not much fade to them at all.

I haven't noticed fraying but i don't do much rope climbing during my training. I've used them to run two Spartan Races, both had rope climbs and my socks are still good. I use my legs during the whole climb not just my arms.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.

That is not normal. I wonder if it is because of the weather. But I would say something or return them.

Maybe defective...I see some white that shows thru but not a lot. Unless you may have stretched them out putting them on somehow. If they are still waterproof they should be fine.

I just got a pair of these the other day, and I DO believe that is the exact problem I'm having--They were bad out of the box. I've had another pair of these without that problem. I thought of removing and swapping between pairs to further debug, but I'm afraid if I do that, I'll wreck my good ones. I'm going to be returning for a new cord--will see how that goes.

I think they are! I had a pair that started fraying and sent the company a picture. I had a new pair in 2 days. These folks really care! I think the actual CEO or President emailed me.

I purchased a pair back in September for my 12 year old daughter. She used them in her daily school tennis shoes. The first week of November, she showed me one that just shredded. So that was only 2 months after purchase. On their website its has a 30 day return policy for manufacture defects. I assume they should last at least a year with normal use. Not quite sure what happened to my daughters set. I did end up ordering 2 new sets. Basically depends how rough the user is on them.

I haven't had a problem. I bought these because our gardner has used them for 15 years and still has the same pair. May be contact the seller.

Not sure if it's possible to do something wrong. I haven't experienced that with any of the pairs we own. Perhaps yours are defective?

I havent had any problems with laces coming untied. I usually break a pair of boots down every 3-4 months, but my laces last.

I'm not sure although I'm hoping the clips are stronger than the laces which I found had to be replaced every two years! Time will tell what the clips will be like in two years time.

Haven't experienced any problems with mine, maybe you've been unlucky with a faulty pair.I am currently waiting for a new pair I've bought.Cheers
