Equipment Required

Instructions:

1. Fill the kettle and set it to boil

2. Twist the end of the frayed lace to create a makeshift tip

3. Thread the shoelace through one of the new Aglets and hold in place with the paperclip provided

4. When the kettle has boiled, pour some water into the bowl and then dangle the shoelace and new Aglet into the water for approximately 60 seconds

It was refreshing to find a place where I could finally locate laces for my Karimore walking shoes.Even the shop I brought them from didn't carry laces so I was forced to use shoe laces that weren't up to the job. The laces supplied are exactly as described, hard wearing and colourful. Delivery was quick, no hesitation in giving a full recommendation

I searched high and low on the high street for fat laces and could find none! Now i have found 'Big Laces' the search is over. Thank you for a great product, excellent delivery and value for money!!
