I agree, stays tied better to.Just a preference. Holds less water.
That's why you use a Square Knot instead of a Bow.If you want your laces to stay put, you need some short of natural fibers (cotton) on them, otherwise they are slippery. Or at least that's my experience. Paracord seems to be VERY slippery.

Why gutted though?
This man is correct. Oil the laces when you oil the boots. They last forever. Mostly.Obenauf's!! The make the best boot care products and their shoelaces are top notch!!

Big Thumbs up on this recommendation.. I have been using the 550 cord for laces for decades.. working in the south pacific islands as well as going to the Philippines where the jungle muck and mire can suck off boots just as fast as you step into it.. Square knot at the top and what I would do is have a little extra length tucked into the tops of the boots just incase the requirement for tying something up came up in emergency needs.. I was a medic as active duty military and a police officer working in a jungle environment after that..550 cord. I always replace my stock boot laces with it. Lots of colors too. It's the easiest way to carry emergency cordage.
