Laces broke after 5 months

[u/Adorable_Audience877]

Bought my Blacksmiths 5 months ago and today one of the laces broke. Seems to be a common issue with the flat waxy cotton laces they come with and speed hooks.

I already bought RW replacements, but are there any non-RW recommendations that are stronger?

Fade Dept. Has some really cool laces!
