You may wanna try paracord.
I think it's not that much about the laces but about those rivets or hooks in the boots where the laces go through. Some of them are very well made, with smooth surfaces and rounded edges (which I bet it's the case of your Redwings).Evil D wrote:Personally i've never understood how people break laces.

I had a similar problem with a pair of shoes which were munching at my laces faster than I can eat ice cream. Once I removed the rivets and left the bare holes in the leather, the problem dissapeared.
Of course, this isn't an universal solution.Some boots or shoes really need those rivets.
