If one of the laces breaks is it replaceable or do you have to buy a whole new brace?

If you know how to sew and it breaks on one of the ends, yes. If it breaks in the middle somewhere, it might be more of a problem since tying it together will substantially shorten the lace. Mine has never broken and I now have two braces and my husband has one. We love them.

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 don't know if the laces are replaceable, but the design is such that I think it would be difficult to break the laces. I have two of them and wear one each day. They are very well made and sturdy. The tension is dispersed across 4 laces, not one. I have been very happy with mine.

Under four years daily use, the edge binding fell off, the hook side of the velcro lost its grip and I developed holes in the loop base fabric before the laces showed a sign of tearing or stretching.

I haven't tried to replace any spikes. I buy a new pair when I have lost any spikes, I find that they are so low in cost.I just buy another pair.

Definitely! The lace ends come as a separate piece, so you trim the laces first, then clip the end pieces on.

Don't know how they compare but these are good ankle braces. Way better than their standard lace up version. They are quicker to put on and you can adjust them much easier for a snug but comfortable fit. I started getting sprained ankles playing basketball and these, along with doing some balance work on a bosu ball did wonders.

Thank you for your inquiry. The leg tips can be unscrewed and replaced if you find the same size screw with wheels.

I don't know, bigT. The brace is made of a strong nylon. I break the lacing up to three different areas that overlap . . with three different shoestrings. I can get the thing really tight. It is close to being a great tape job or even a cast . . I can tell you that the brace forms to my foot. I would think that with flat feet, the brace would stop there, and when you tightened, it would not be able to pull into an arch that was not there. I can tell you it is well-made and strong. The size on mine ran a little big. I have a size 14 foot. I got the one . . I think it is 12 to 14. When I crank on it, it is tight, but I pull the laces together. I hope that is some help.

None with mine. I have put these on before. Just place so laces tighten firmly. I also put duct tape rolls underneath to stabilize. Works well.

I looked at mine and I don't think you can replace it. But it is very sturdy. It would take a lot to wear it out to the point of needing to replace it. Hope that helps.

Yes you can get replacement feet I really like these for rough terrain hiking with my poles http://www.amazon.com/Pace-Maker-Vulcanized-Replacement-Poles/dp/B006HMDN6S/ref=pd_sim_sg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=180ZW767R8CW345CTHNA or these for nordic walkiing on pavement http://www.amazon.com/Stansport-19030-Trekking-Replacement-Count/dp/B002U2A2MM/ref=pd_sim_sg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=180ZW767R8CW345CTHNA

Hi Carol -- I will do my best to answer your question. The chair is Italian made and it's one of those outdoor zero gravity chairs. The laces and the insertion of the laces almost reminded me of lacing up a shoe. I don't see where you might have a problem. It might depend on the opening of the holes that you have to thread the laces through. You might want to pay attention to where the laces go as a friend who laced the chair for me missed a hole. It's not a big deal but one has to really pay attention. Good luck...

Yes. Put the new laces in the shoes, determine the right length and cut off the excess lace. Then you will need to close to lace lock around the ends of the shoe laces and snap it shut. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

The laces should be great. Just take your old ones out, measure their length and get the closest length of these.

It will be pretty hard. It's possible but not simple. You need to squeeze the retainer and pull the laces tight at the same time.

If you google the company, they have their own site and also a contact me for info. I see no reason you wont be able to replace the broken part. Everyone that sees me using it thinks it is the greatest thing ever. I agree. Good luck.

Rodney, I have owned several pair of the Irish Setter Soft Paws and even though the robust leather uppers with occasional polishing show little wear, worn soles necessitated replacement. An Achilles' heel (pun intended) of the shoes is the OEM laces, which do seem to wear/fray too quickly. I too have attempted to obtain replacement laces from Red Wing directly and through local shoe stores, but with no success. I now use the readily available KIWI Outdoor Brand brown laces (product code 2114) in my Soft Paws. They look good and are more robust than the OEMs. As I wear size 14EE shoes, I find the 45" laces are appropriate, but the KIWI laces are available in 36" as well. After the OEM laces wear out, the next component(s) which I have found to need replacement is/are the "Scent Ban" insoles. As a "better than original" replacement, I use the New Balance Pressure Relief Insoles (product code IPR3030). They are pricey, but if you are on your feet for hours, they are worth the money. Because I have been wearing Soft Paws for years now, obviously, I do like the product! Roger

My lacing broke and the replacement was better than the original. I'm not sure what you can do when the rivets pulled out, sorry. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer and get advice.

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.
