Shoelace Geeks

[spamel]

I'm glad you took it with the humour that was intended! It's a bit sad to let a good pair of well trodden boots go, a guy I paraglided with the other week was wearing boots with no tread and very little leather left on them!! He polished them every day and lavished care on them as he said they were so comfortable and he didn't want to go to the stores and exchange them. Putting off the inevitable I think, but I sort of understood where he was coming from!!

I have a pair of KSBs, over 14 years old now and they are so comfortable

Welllll, technically they'd be excellent shoe making material. Tough, breathable, flexible; they're even a good bushcrafty green colour

Seriously though, we made boot laces from nettles at the Crannog and they lasted three years of everyday use , pretty good going

There has got to be a good line in shoe lace jokes.

Is there shoe lace art?

Puzzles?

Good heavans, next we will be having threads on trouser belts......... Oh I have just been informed there probably has been.
