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

The bundled laces are elastic, which is a problem. No matter how hard I tried tight them up, they just can't provide enough support to fasten the hiking boot (Salomon X Ultra Mid 2 GTX). I ended up using just the lock & clip with original laces from the hiking boot, which is not elastic. The combination works much better than the lock laces.

Where can I buy more laces? my son drags these around with him everywhere so we're always losing the laces. I don't know what they're called or their measurements so I don't know what to look for.

I used these for ankle high shoes with six total lace holes. I cut them to the proper length and it's worked wonderfully, turning them into shoes I can easily pull on to quickly take the dog out.

I believe you could tie a knot to the size you need and cut off any extra. I really like these headbands. They are a little bit stretchy with out being too tight.

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.

Mine worked well with regular ankle high Salomon trail shoes (for a Spartan race) so for your boots they may be too short.

I just looked at mine, and there are actually opening in the mesh along the bottom that would probably allow you to attach the laces. I wouldn't recommend cutting, as you would ruin the integrity of the net and it may cause further unravelling.

I really don't know since I used mine the full length. They are metal so you'd have to use a hack saw to cut them and they may loose some integrity. We absolutely love ours.

No you can't cut them to adjust the length. Why would you want or need to ?

Yes they can I don't think they will wrk n kids shoes @ all they r between 36-42 inch shoe laces they r long enough were u have to lace all the holes

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.

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.

The lace is 121cm long unstretched. You will need to have some stretch in them for them to work so that will make them longer again. In most cases you will actually have to shorten them as there will be excess. They come with a clip for holding any excess lace.

Rod ends are plain and you should be able to shorten them. They are metal you may have trouble sawing thru them.

No, I purchased mine extra long so I just wrap around twice then tie them snug. Haven't had them come untied once. I'll have to resole these boots before the laces give out.

not sure Kyleigh. Converse may need longer laces. good question for the fabricator/distributor.
