Laces came in record time - just a couple of days. They work great in my shoes! I haven't used them at night yet, so can't attest to the reflectiveness, but they look fantastic. I like the material; it seems like it will last quite a while - my original rope laces just wore out at the eyelets after a few years, so I'm not complaining. If these last that long, they'll outlast the shoes! :-D Love the laces, love the product selection! Thanks, RLS!
