Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes.
This cord is now used as a general purpose utility and survival cord. This versatile cord was used by astronauts during the 82nd Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
The braided sheath is made up of 32 interwoven strands, giving it a relatively smooth texture. The all-nylon construction makes paracord somewhat elastic. The inner core is made of 7 inner strands that can be used as thread, fishing line and many other uses!
Ironlace Paracord 550 shoelaces come in 10 different colors and 4 different sizes.

I bought these for some leather shoes I use as work shoes. The shoes are ones with only two sets of eyelets, so it is hard for me to find heavy-duty laces for them, which usually come in longer sizes. I kept having sets of laces break. So I decided to look for the most heavy-duty laces I could find. I hesitated because of the cost, but ultimately I'm happy with the result, at least so far. One pleasant surprise is how well they hold without slipping when tied. Something about the weave helps them grip each other when tightened.
These are the greatest laces I've ever owned. You may be thinking, This is a lot of money for a pair of laces. It is, but I seriously think they might be the last pair you ever buy. I'm a union ironworker in Philadelphia. I burn, weld, climb and slide down steel columns and I've now transferred the same laces into my fourth pair of boots. They've lasted more than a year and a half and are no worse for wear. I used to replace my old ones every month or so. They are THE BEST!
I am a 30 year veteran of Wildland Firefighting. I have gone through dozens of pairs of leather laces over the years. Wish these laces had been around years ago, I would have saved a lot time and money replacing laces. High quality product and very durable. Very pleased and Highly recommended for persons that work out in the weather or in adverse conditions.
