Anyone know where I can get another pair of laces that would be usable for the shoes.
Chain stores prevalent in the Western U.S. are applicable, and if you know of some where along the Wasatch Front, that would be brilliant.
Thanks in advance. |
As has already been suggested, there are several different approaches to the problem. However,
no one has suggested
leather lacing, of which I happen to have several spools in different colors and different widths. If you will tell me what color, width, and length you need, I'll make you a fair price.
If you want some sort of idea as to what the lacing costs me, I'll just tell you that a 50 yd. spool of kangaroo hide (some really tough stuff) in say 1/8" width costs me about $35. Cowhide (much weaker, softer stuff) costs a lot less. Of course, I seriously doubt that you would ever have a need for 50 yds. and you can't order any smaller quantity from my supplier. But if you'll PM me and tell me what you need, I promise to make you a fair price.
