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.

Yes you can replace the blade. It comes with a sharpening stone though so replacement is not really necessary unless something terminal happens.

Contact the seller. If not, It shouldn't be too difficult to replace on your own. You can pick up Velcro at almost any craft/fabric store. Sew it yourself or go to a cobbler. Hope that helps. It is a good product, helped me alot.

Rose B, I checked with Lafuma (1-855-415-0072). Replacement Laces for the RSX and the RSX XL are the same. In White it is Lafuma Item Number: LFM2322-0020; see more at: http://www.shoplafuma.com/product/11858#sthash.w4O5jFv8.dpuf.

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.

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.

I don't know that they are replaceable since they are "glued" securely in place and do not remove easily. The manufacturer may think differently but they don't just screw on.

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

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

More or less. I wear two braces, I put them both on each night. You can get used to it. The alternative is not having any brace at all, and suffering pain.

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.

I think you have to order a whole new one, or ask them to replace it! did you lose yours? I know mine keep falling off, but I always put 'em back on:)

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.

It is a bit difficult to use without the brace with the stronger bands. The bands do break in and get easier to use. If you plan on using the stronger bands I do recommend the wrist brace. The wrist brace is quite cheap and we'll worth it when using the stronger bands.

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.

You don't need to step into this product. There is a simple velcro fastener. The additional straps are to tighten the brace. I have found the brace to be comfortable, but a little warm after a few hours. However, it is cooler than other braces I have worn.

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.
