Description
4mm Chunky Cotton Waxed Shoe Laces
Designed for Professional Trade Supply
At Textile Enterprises Limited, we manufacture 4mm Chunky Cotton Waxed Shoe Laces for footwear brands, wholesalers, and trade customers who require a robust, traditional lace with a premium finish. Produced in the UK using specialist braiding machinery, this product delivers a heavier, more substantial feel than fine cotton waxed laces, making it a popular choice for classic and heritage footwear ranges. Although classed within the trade as a round lace, the construction creates a subtle oval profile, which contributes to its distinctive chunky appearance and enhanced presence when laced. Compared directly with our 2mm cotton waxed laces, this 4mm version offers a noticeably bolder aesthetic while maintaining consistent performance and quality.
Product Options and Range Availability
We manufacture these chunky cotton waxed laces using 100% high-strength cotton yarn, finished with a controlled layer of natural wax. This combination improves durability, supports long service life, and delivers a refined semi-matt appearance. The braided construction ensures strength and stability, while the internal centre core helps the lace maintain its oval-round shape during repeated use. Because we manufacture in-house, we can produce this product to any required length, supporting both standard footwear specifications and bespoke design requirements. We also offer acetate tipping as standard, with consistent finishing to support efficient footwear assembly and retail presentation.
Available Sizes & Colour Options
Our 4mm Chunky Cotton Waxed Shoe Laces are supplied with an approximate nominal diameter of 4mm, designed to retain their shape without reducing in size when stretched. The waxed finish helps protect the cotton fibres from environmental exposure, including moisture and everyday wear. This product is available in over 15 standard colours, allowing brands and manufacturers to select finishes that align with footwear collections or heritage styles. For colour matching or custom requirements, our team can provide guidance using our cotton shade card and manufacturing expertise.

The chunky profile, waxed finish, and natural cotton appearance make this lace especially suitable where durability, tradition, and visual weight are important.
Manufactured for Consistent Quality and Reliability
We design and manufacture these cotton waxed laces to deliver reliable performance across both small and large production runs. The wax layer improves resistance to moisture while providing a smooth, controlled feel that remains easy to tie and secure with a strong knot. Each batch undergoes quality checks to ensure consistent diameter, colour accuracy, and finish. Because we manufacture in the UK, we maintain full control over quality, lead times, and repeatability. Whether you require bulk trade supply, ongoing production support, or bespoke lengths and colours, Textile Enterprises Limited is equipped to support your business.
