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.

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 would contact ironlace themselves and explain, im positive they would send you a new pair for free. I have 2 pairs of ironlaces and the ones that are older started to fray at the ends after about 3 months of heavy use, so i plasti-dipped the ends and they came out awesome. So if you contact ironlace and they don't require you to send the old ones in i would highly recommend you do that

I have never removed a heal before, so that part, I cannot answer. But, I can tell you that the replacement will attach and stay just fine with Shoe Goo.

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

Sorry for my late response. I don't see why not. The lock mechanism holds your laces in place. The elastic laces has an advantage of stretching them. You can tighten or loosen your laces easily to your comfort level.

I, personally, have never worn any of the pads out, so I haven't had any need to know how, or where, to replace them. I would expect the mfr. would know, but it may be just aseconomical to buy a new one! You must be very hard on the brace - using it for sports??

Yes it is you will have to take take the brace off the edge and replace it with the new one

Either contact the company or go to a a shoe repair store. If they replace soles they can hook up your boots with a new buckle

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

It worked great when I used it,especially as it was easy to use vs. proper laces, but can't honestly compare it to other braces on the market due to no experience with any others, sorry! I finally succumbed to foot surgery due to major pronation of my foot sliding away from my ankle (ouch!), and now I no longer have need for a brace, but it worked fine when I needed it! Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I have no comparison as I only wear the SPAT. I have worn it on my shoe from day one. If a lace up I put it through 3 laces...half of one set and ll of the next lower one. If no laces, my other shoes will barely accommodate it. I've heard of clips breaking and being replaced, but that's no good if you lose it altogether.

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

i had a pad fall off my cane when the screw came lose. easy repair with the replacement kit. but if the screw hole is stripped i'd just get a new cane. had mine for two years and that's the only problem ive had. im so happy with how mine works i give them to my friends that use canes , all of them realy like them. maybe u just got a bad one , it happens sometimes

The compression is very strong, but if you are going to wear this brace on a regular basis, I'd get two. Our daughter is a soccer player who had broken each of her ankles playing other sports in school. We've tried every lace up brace on the market-this brace was the best one-hands down. She had more natural mobility and less foot pain. For me, it was a 5 star purchase! Hope this helps!

No, as long as your current strut boots are ok, you won't need new ones. This item comes with some hardware as well. Pls read again in the detail, it should list all accompanying items.

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.
