This is from about 10 years ago. Two types of laces are included. See image 4. For the photos, I've put different laces on the left and right, but there are two of each, so you can wear them in two different styles. I remember wearing them about three times the year I bought them. They were a bit too edgy for my wardrobe, so I've kept them stored away. They are genuine leather, but the synthetic leather backing used to reinforce the holes is peeling due to aging. See image 9. Although it's not a part that directly touches your foot, it may continue to peel off with wear and tear.
