The CV -19 is running rampant down here in Florida at the moment, and it’s spreading at a crazy rate, the worst it’s been since February, so I’m sitting home bored and thought I’d pass on a tip to a few of you.
If you like to wear Roughout Boots like I do, you have probably noticed that sometimes, depending on the maker, the laces are too short for the boots. Well I found a guy on eBay that offers laces at $3.50 a pair for several different length laces. In my case I ordered 63 inch light brown laces for my size 11.5 USMC WWII Impressions Boondocks. As you can see ... problem solved . The laces fit nicely through all the eyelets with enough left over to tie. My only error was that I ordered light brown laces as opposed to dark brown, which is the correct color for the boot. The photo below shows the laces that come with the boots and the new lace on the right. I have taken steps to correct the color difference and have ordered another set of laces.
Here’s the EBay link in case anyone is
interested. Note the price says $6.92 but I ordered 2 pair
