NorthWave GoreTex boots, replacement laces

[mangid]

Has anybody managed to source replacement laces for NorthWave GoreTex boots ? Mine have snapped, and the inner core is too thin to be grabbed by the clip.

Maybe it's time to upgrade to a Boa System, well impressed by the Lake wide fit shoes I got at the start of summer. Maybe there's an Xmas present on the Horizon ;-)

I would have thought if you took the lace to a local haberdashery shop they would be able to match something suitable from their range of laces etc.

Don’t tell him that!

He won’t have an excuse to buy a new pair.

What about using thin wire like telephone cable?

Bought a pair of conventional (but reflective) laces off Amazon just last week for my Lidl spd shoes. Plenty of complicated lace systems available too.

Local haberdashery shop? You mean the one run by the kindly old lady?

Is this the 1950s? No one has a local haberdashery shop any more. It's now either a poundland, a fried chicken takeaway with a jokey name, or a charity shop.

I must be no one cubed. Three that I know of in that many miles. Dunno if they sell bootlaces though.

They must have all migrated to your area.

Leeds, a hotbed of haberdashery!

You can get laces of different lengths on eBay. Good outdoor shops also have them in lots of different colours and patterns.

Couldn't get boot laces threaded, the eyes are incredibly hard to thread, managed to get some small diameter paracord threaded last night, and just about remembered how to do up laces ;-)

Have ordered some braided fishing line (0.6mm) which I think will be easier to thread (with a blunt needle) and should fit the lazy do up attachments.

Was drooling over some Lake MXZ203 wide fits last night, but being honest with myself, the NorthWave's are only 5 years old and still have plenty of life in them ;-)

Try your local indoor market or move to a place that has a haberdashery shop just in case you ever need one??

I think I may still have my old North wave boots that I wore a hole in. If I do, you are welcome to the laces.

I contacted Northwave last winter , they told me to order replacement laces through my local bike shop. Only took a week after ordering and I had a full set of laces for my Northwave Celsius boots , easy to replace as well. I think they cost around £5
