New Shoelaces

[The Feral Slasher]

I am going to buy some shoelaces for some old shoes I found in my garage, lol. I don't even know where to go. I talked to my daughter and she has never bought shoelaces. I probably have not ever bought them either. Maybe shoes don't last as long as they used to ? I recall my parents buying me shoelaces for my shoes back in the 70's. When was the last time you bought shoelaces ?

I need to do the same. One of my laces on my sneakers (tennis shoes? what's the not old guy term for them?) has the outter layer broken and is holding on by the inner lining only. I just worry that the new ones are going to be stark white against my grubby ass shoes. They should sell distressed colored laces.

I was thinking Target was the place to go. seems like the go-to for generic shit you need

Yes, I have bought shoelaces once in a blue moon altho usually I'll just take a pair from some worn out shoes and use them on the still usable shoes. TArget, WalMart or any of the "big box" department stores will have them for a reasonable price.

Thanks ! My online search showed walgreens and target. I was mostly just amazed that I had not bought shoelaces in about 50 years.

I was close to having to buy new laces for my bowling shoes, when I blew out the sole. Ended up getting new bowling shoes. Problem solved.

Something weird about bowling shoes; their laces are freakishly long. Too long really. Have to double knot them so as not to step on them. Not sure what that is about.

I apparently measured my old laces correctly and the new laces from Walgreens are perfect, i was a bit worried about that. they only had a few options available. I hope everyone continues to tell their own shoelace stories here, i think it is an important topic to discuss in our world today.

I saw a thread titled “New shoelaces” and figured this would be in contention for one of the most boring threads ever posted on RJ. It lived up to those expectations.

You could always just buy new shoes, they tend to come with shoelaces.

You mean what I literally said I did in post #5?

I disagree...

No, it was literally not what you said in post #5.  You blew out the sole in your shoes and had to replace them.  I'm saying buy new shoes simply for the laces alone.
