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 use a variation of surgeons knot where I wrap twice so its not a problem... Also try google'n Ted Talks "how to tie shoelaces"... It's bizarre but most of us may have been doing it "wrong" since childhood.

I don't believe so. When you get them all laced up the way you want, there is excess you can cut off to your liking. Where you cut it, there's a cover for the ends that clip together. I am going to order a pair for my nephew.

I had to trim mine so I don't know now, but they are more than long enough to fit Converse lace up sneakers (women's size 8.5). I think I cut at least 4" off each one. They're a great invention!

I fit on boots and shoes so I left a lft off to put in the boots and I have eight on it now. Works great.

Approximately 1/8th of an inch or 3.175 mm. Thinner than the usual boot lace.

My laces are a little over 46 inches long. The instructions indicate you trim the ends to your desired length after you put the Lock Laces in your shoes.

Yes. I had a set of these which I used almost everyday for a year and one lace began to fray. I called their customer service, sent a pic via email along with a copy of my receipt and I had a new set within a week..awesome customer service and great laces...!!

Not exactly sure, the package doesn't say...but my shoes have twelve holes (six on each side), laced criss-cross, trimmed so there is about two inches between the lock and the end piece. I ended up cutting off about fifteen inches overall. The laces are really long. Hope that helps...

At least 35-40 each side. You can purchase a second set of rails if you need to add more sport coats.

Do it all, I've applied it to condora nylon and goretex for years. AWESOME to wax your boot laces too- makes them last 10 times longer and the won't come untied!

Personal preference, really. The boots i use these on have 8 eyelets, and they match up pretty well. I have had no issues with these and have had them on for a number of months. They are actually smoother operating than my other boot zips - those are 11 eyelet zips on a 12 eyelet boot. i like the little velcro tab at the top that holds the zip pulls down - they don't click when i walk...

A bit, ya. I just tie the laces a little looser and it's fine. I also wear wide shoes, so the impact is less noticeable. If your shoe is very narrow at the opening, it could be weird. Shouldn't be a problem though.

I agree with JCinTexas. If however your own laces are not elastic you would be missing half the benefit of Lock Laces.

Sorry I don't know the exact length, but I do know they are long enough to lace combat boots, but I do not recommend using these for combat boots lol.. I use these in all my running shoes and I always have to cut them to the length I want. I then burn the cut ends and place the hard plastic cover on.

There are two sizes, large and small. I would NOT recommend cutting them, I've only used them for men's shoes and they are great. If the boot heel is large the small size may fit, or may hang over the edge. It depends on the size of the woman's heel. If it is a full heel you are great but if you are talking about a stiletto heel this most likely won't work.

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
