Can these laces be shortened? I need 88" to 90" laces, the 84" would be too short to get a decent double knot.

I assume you can cut them if you ever wore old combat boots it's the same type of lace you could probably burn the ends.

Yes I did shorten mine too with a very sharp knife and then put very small snap ties on the ends of them to make sure they don't frey even though they probably wouldn't anyway. Great laces nothing better I put mine into rocky boots that are 2 years old and were them every day and will get another year out of them too. Buy the laces like I will every time... 10 out of 10

The bundled laces are elastic, which is a problem. No matter how hard I tried tight them up, they just can't provide enough support to fasten the hiking boot (Salomon X Ultra Mid 2 GTX). I ended up using just the lock & clip with original laces from the hiking boot, which is not elastic. The combination works much better than the lock laces.

I think they would be fine. You can make them as tight as you want. You also cut the strings when you put the clip on, so you can choose how far the extra lace and clip extends. I am not a basketball expert though.

I don't know if the laces are replaceable, but the design is such that I think it would be difficult to break the laces. I have two of them and wear one each day. They are very well made and sturdy. The tension is dispersed across 4 laces, not one. I have been very happy with mine.

Yes- once you have laced them you need to cut the excess before putting on the plastic end piece to secure the laces.

The little plastic disks with two holes in them are spring loaded to bite down onto whatever is inserted through the holes, and they are separate from the laces themselves. So, yes, it should work as long as you can get your laces threaded through them (the holes are probably about 3/16" when open, so I think most shoelaces would fit).

No, I purchased mine extra long so I just wrap around twice then tie them snug. Haven't had them come untied once. I'll have to resole these boots before the laces give out.

Sure will, I've got a 42 waist, but I don't tie a knot. I wrap the ends around each other a couple of times. The friction holds the laces fine while I sit at my desk.

One pair of boot laces works just fine. You'll end up with a fair amount left over, as you just knot the ends at the top of the laces.

I havent had any problems with laces coming untied. I usually break a pair of boots down every 3-4 months, but my laces last.

The rings I purchased have a 14' 4" strap, since the strap must be doubled to use the adjustable buckle (unless you come up with different fasteners), the adjustable length is about 7' max length to 9" min length. The min length is due to the buckle and double back sewn length which is too stiff to put over most supports. So, it's a 6' 3" adjustable length if these are still the same as when I purchased them. There's nothing to keep you from adding a quick link and extra webbing to increase the length. The adjustable length will be the same. Make sure to thread the buckle correctly, it's not obvious. I have been very satisfied with the rings.

Where can I buy more laces? my son drags these around with him everywhere so we're always losing the laces. I don't know what they're called or their measurements so I don't know what to look for.

Yes. Put the new laces in the shoes, determine the right length and cut off the excess lace. Then you will need to close to lace lock around the ends of the shoe laces and snap it shut. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

I believe these would work nicely on a pair of hiking shoes. They do allow adjustment for a snug fit. I was even thinking of putting these on my blackhawk boots but they don't have the length to fit. I think these laces are better then standard laces by far.

I really don't know since I used mine the full length. They are metal so you'd have to use a hack saw to cut them and they may loose some integrity. We absolutely love ours.

Hi Carol -- I will do my best to answer your question. The chair is Italian made and it's one of those outdoor zero gravity chairs. The laces and the insertion of the laces almost reminded me of lacing up a shoe. I don't see where you might have a problem. It might depend on the opening of the holes that you have to thread the laces through. You might want to pay attention to where the laces go as a friend who laced the chair for me missed a hole. It's not a big deal but one has to really pay attention. Good luck...

They have clips for the ends of the laces so you can cut them to whatever size you need.
