I just received these, and they're seeming to fray after only one day of use. I can see some of the green innards of the laces. Anyone else ?

I have used them for two months now in construction. The only problem is that the color has faded.

I would contact ironlace themselves and explain, im positive they would send you a new pair for free. I have 2 pairs of ironlaces and the ones that are older started to fray at the ends after about 3 months of heavy use, so i plasti-dipped the ends and they came out awesome. So if you contact ironlace and they don't require you to send the old ones in i would highly recommend you do that

I have had mine for about a year. I use them on a pair of shoes that I love, and pretty much wear every day, and they have held up well. I suspect that they'll outlast my fraying shoes at this point.

There is no film in them and My pair has lasted me a good while without any leaks and blurriness. Have you tried cleaning them?

I haven't, and the reason why is because the cost of shipping the old pair back, plus the cost of shipping the replacement to me, is too close to the price of just buying a new pair to be worth it. I use them at the gym and just accept that they are a product that will wear out and need to be replaced.

I don't know. I clipped them all to the rack when we got it. Maybe write the company or try to find some other way to hold them on. Maybe black shoe laces cut and tied in back.

That is weird, I have only ever had green ones. I'd contact the manufacturer.

If you're talking about the black stuff (the picture as sent by Amazon.com is not high res enough for me to see it clearly), no, that's not normal and you should not fond that acceptable. My pair is great, does not get grungy and I love them.

No, I have not had that happen. I would send them back or exchange them. They are definately worth it. I swear by these after many years of problems.

I responded before.....this issue of the picture seems to be a relatively new one....when I ordered them it was clear I was getting regular colors. Not the purples and blues

Haven't experienced any problems with mine, maybe you've been unlucky with a faulty pair.I am currently waiting for a new pair I've bought.Cheers

So far, I have not had this problem with them. I have worn the leggings 3 times and machine washed and hung up to dry.

I've had mine for 3 months and mine is starting fray on the front edge. I tried contacting the company, but no luck.

I had problems on my first marathon a few years back and then I bought a pair of the standard green ones a couple year ago. I've since used them for training and have had NO issues with feet getting numb, sore or even arches getting 'worn out'. I recently used the green ones on my marathon last year and I can't complain... they worked AWESOME, no tired feet! I use them over the socks and readjusted the ties on my shoes. I will be purchasing the blue ones soon and hopefully they work just as well. By the way, I've had the green ones for a couple years now and it is still in great shape, use them weekly.

Mine has held up well and even left them out in the snow...been a rough winter and not much fade to them at all.

You know I really have not kept track. I'm on my 4th pair, and it's been 15 years, anyway. My first pair was a half length one, and it's still in a pair of hiking shoes I don't wear that often. The second pair pretty much disintegrated before I got another pair, and the third pair is in my work shoes. I do wear things out pretty completely, but I feel confident saying that for me, a pair will last in good shape for the better part of 3 years. Wish I could find a pair of shoes that last that long.

My husband has only had his a few weeks but has no problem. He suggests you return them for another pair. It could be the rubber.

I'm not sure. I dried mine and they seem to be ok, but I've only worn them once.
