When tightening both fabric and leather shoelaces on my hiking shoes, the laces eventually break from abrasion on sharp-edged open lugs. Any suggestions?
How to keep shoelaces from breaking.?
put shoe goo on them
Reply:try to file down the lugs with a small rotary tool like a Dremel
Reply:i have helped mine by keeping armor all on them it keeps them moist and they wont break as easy!!!!
Reply:If you have this happening you are tieing your boots too tight or they don%26#039;t fit you correctly. A good fitting hiking boot is essential to an enjoyable hike. Go to a high quality hiking retailer, like REI, and have them take a look at the fit. You may have to change your socks or your boots. The other ideas are ok, but putting gunk on your laces will make them not tie correctly. The dremmel tool is a good idea if the lugs are too sharp.
I have had my boots (Zamberleins) for about 6 years and have the original laces in good condition. They have about 300+ miles on them.
