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).
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.
Dialex, I have not seen you around for a while. Glad to see you back.
Unfortunately, this is an old thread brought back to life by a spam post. Dialex's comment was from 6 years ago. Spammer removed.

Geez Louise, sneaky for sure!! I never even noticed the dates and just thought it was a worthwhile Topic.
Got me totally ..... which was apparently not hard to do. :eek:

Interestingly enough though, I received my three pairs of boot laces today and they really are a quality product.
Something good came out of it anyway. :D

My thoughts too Doc. You are usually right on top of the spammers here.
I usually figure if Doc is participating it must be an okay thread. :D
