Mine are multi-colored…pink, blue, green, lavender, yellow, orange, red. That way, no matter what color clothes I’m wearing, there’s a chance the shoes will color coordinate!!!
My runners came with matching orange/red laces of which I took out and replaced with blck.
Is everyone aware of the shoelaces colour code?
@Lightlyseared Yes. Goofy if you ask me.
Now:
According to this so-called established code, red shoe laces on your Doc Martens means you affiliate with Nazi ideology, blue laces means you’ve killed a police officer, white laces means you’re a white supremacist, and orange laces mean’s you affiliate with S.H.A.R.P., SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice.
Then:
Here is what the lace colors were said to mean back in the day: White = White power/white pride, but also traditionalist/non-racist since it was so common. ... Yellow = Worn by SHARPs/anti-racist. Green = Neutral/non-racist. Black = Traditionalist skin, punk kid, neutral, or wearing the laces the boots were sold with.
I have 5 pairs of shoes, if you count sandals.
One has white laces, 2 have black laces (black laces matter) and one has brown laces. The others are buckles (Birkenstocks).
The only leather lace up shoes I wear these days are black. And the laces are black.
My running shoes (actually now they are walking shoes. I can’t really run anymore) are what I would call day glo green.
@KNOWITALL Well I wore yellow laces back in the day in my Docs…I’m good then :-)
@ucme I literally don’t know one person who cares.
Almost every person I know, of any race, wears all white or all black (shoes and laces.) haha!
Also, many A-list celebs still always have to have an all white pair or three.
(I’m really into shoes-don’t laugh-so I notice. haha!)
@KNOWITALL I mean, I just wore that colour coz I thought it looked pretty :D
Used to place several D rings on each loop at the back of both boots, genuinely thought i sounded like a cowboy as i jingled along.
I think my doc wearing days missed the point a little…thank goodness.
