This pair of laces is particularly prone. So I wondered, what type of laces would best replace them? <br /><br />Thank you, sir. I'll give this a shot.Dustin B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03476494244818659889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-53580403928205007742012-02-15T11:33:16.991-05:002012-02-15T11:33:16.991-05:00You're on a roll.You're on a roll.JKGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569861165454532541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-35003993465596144072012-02-15T11:00:11.143-05:002012-02-15T11:00:11.143-05:00*Road-To-Parnassus: I was being serious about waxi...*Road-To-Parnassus: I was being serious about waxing them.

Here in Taiwan, replacement laces are of abysmal quality, and even the stores that sell good shoes tend not to sell laces. I end up importing them from the U.S.<br /><br />I'm not sure if you are serious about the wax trick. I might give it a try my next trip home; I still have blocks of beeswax from oboe playing--it is used for much the same reasons you specify, when applied to the silk thread used for tying oboe reeds.<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-15154312364762115892012-02-15T09:37:06.614-05:002012-02-15T09:37:06.614-05:00*Scott: What is impressive to me is not that you p...*Scott: What is impressive to me is not that you pay $3800/inch or that they are made of unicorn hairs.
