Shoe laces can be made of any fiber that can be braided or woven and tipped. Traditionally (up to 1950's) shoe laces were made of cotton, dyed black, or brown or bleached . As synthetic fibers became available they were tried. Today (2012) most quality shoe laces are made of spun synthetic fiber, looks and feels like cotton, or BCF( Bulked Continuous Fiber) synthetic fiber. Cotton is still used in very small quantities in natural color that customer can custom die to match their products. The most popular fiber is spun polyester, the second most popular fiber is BCF polypropylene. Nylon, Kevlar, and other newer synthetic fibers are used in small quantities for special end uses, requiring their special properties. Many shoelaces are used in garment's, and other application's than shoes that require a cord with sealed ends.
