Shoelaces

[Ron H]

How's this for a topic? Ya ever try to find new laces in a store for your boots or shoes? Can never find the right length or color I need. Grocery store, Walgreen's, Target...and aha...even a shoe store! Got the ones I can't use and the small racks they have them in are usually picked clean. Restocking must coincide with the cicada's coming out of the ground. And I bought two pair of shoes at an outlet shoe store this week and asked if they had laces...nope! What a P in theee A.

Last time I needed laces, the only ones I could find of the same style and length cost more than the shoes I needed them for!

One of life's little nuisances. Right up there with hotdogs by the dozen, but hotdog buns come 10 to the pack.

I thought some company announced they were fixing the hot dog bun issues! Just very recently might check the old google.

It's a sad commentary to say that shoe laces are now outlasting a pair of shoes!!!! So where's the quality???

And why is it when I run through a loaf of bread there's usually only one slice left?

I thought it was 10 hot dogs and a 6 pack of buns, but whatever?

Ding, ding, ding. We have a weiner! Yes, 10 hot dogs and 8 buns.

L.L. Bean store will make custom ones for yiu for less than 10 bucks, if you have one near you.

I can’t remember the last time I needed to buy shoe laces.

 

[multimopes]

Going way back with the same dilemma; I take the old laces off worn out shoes & boots for spares,. It saved me several times!

 

[Aarons Air]

Like so ? Couldn't find the right white ones, and had saved my work shoe laces.

I like/prefer cheap white bread over dried out hotdog buns. Usually much softer/moister.

A Red Wing shoe store should have laces, also places that sell pedorthic products, or ones that specialize in fitting people that have foot problems.
If you ever find a place that actually hand makes footwear, possibly a shoe repair place, but that that seems to be getting harder than winning a lottery.
Glad I can still make my own shoes.

How can you expect to get the correct part without the make, model and year.

The dog to bun ratio was decided years ago.
Lots of guys eat one while grilling and enjoying a cold beer.
Your best buddy sitting there watching you grill gets one.
By the time the foods ready the dog and bun ratio is correct.
