Paracord. Get it reasonably priced from the bushcraft uk shops in a multitude of colours and diameters. Great for additional guy lines, tarps etc too. :wink:

Ah paracord!

According to Ed China on "Wheeler Dealers" it is great for fitting car windows too.  :lol:

Can these Simms laces be bought separately Dave?   My Orvis laces on my expensive Orvis boots lasted no time at all. Even my crap Airflo boots outlasted the laces and are on their 2nd set which have just broken again.  :roll:

Incidentally I have never had this issue with walking boots, only wading boots.

 :shock:


Actually I expected they would be expensive. Even on FleeBay strong laces cost about the same.
