Does anyone know where I can get high quality replacement shoelaces for my hiking boots? I strongly dislike the generic laces sold everywhere with the rubber shink tips that I need to cut to complete the shoelace.
Cotton kills!My wife keeps telling me about the benefit of COTTON laces used in figure skating boots. What should I look for in a good pair of laces?
* cotton is not as strong as syntheticsBrambor said:If you mean 'cotton kills' as in cotton clothing outdoors (which we can all agree on) then I hope you're kidding with the shoelaces.

* probably doesn't wear as well as the synthetics
* knots are more prone to freezing.
So if your life depends on your shoelace not breaking or your being able to untie your laces quickly, then I suppose cotton laces could kill you.
Had to stretch a bit for this one...
