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

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.

The length is only 84". You might be able to tape an extra piece on it to lengthen it.

Yes. The come in one size and you cut them down to the size you need. You'll probably be wasting a lot of lace on each shoe..... but it would still work.

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...

No I have re-used them numerous times. Use a pair of scissors or a small flat screwdriver and push the tab inwards that clicks when you first clicked them on then pull apart. It is a little stubborn but you won't break them as long as you push the tab onwards first. After you get it open re-trim the laces and snap back together.

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.

Yes, although I can't quite get them as tight as I could with regular laces. I find that I can get them as tight as I need them, sometimes they get a little too tight at the top and not tight enough at the bottom.

You'll receive 2 laces that are 24" long and 2 laces that are 54" long. I have the Lafuma RSX mesh recliner - so you can see if this looks similar to the model that you have. I don't use the short laces (24"), my recliner only has long laces.

you could, but without the stretchiness of the included lace material, not certain that would be an ideal solution. the locks have teeth designed for this material, but they would probably work on regular laces, too.

Probably depends on the shoe and how much length you need in the lace. I am size 13 and cut off a lot of length when installing them on athletic shoes. I have other footwear (boots) they wouldn't be near as long as what I need. You can probably measure how much lace you need to make your shoes tight, add four to six inches or whatever you want to make them loose (remember, they are elastic, so even when tight they might stretch enough to pull the shoes on/off), and then compare to the 48 inches.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.

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

Kind of a tough question to answer affirmatively but you can lace them pretty darned tight... let's put it this way: you can lace them tight enough to be uncomfortable/painful if you want to.

Use a small flat head screw driver and undo the clip. These laces are awesome. They're tight enough to allow your feet to be stable in the shoes, but do not cause pressure point issues.

I am sure you could tie two laces together but they may be long enough for boots. They come pretty long and then you trim them down.
