by request: shoelaces

[kaberett]

Rainbow paracord shoelaces, Made By Me with scissors & a soldering iron & a pair of pliers & some aglets. I've since discovered that aglets can come in filigree; I have yet, however, to find a Better Rainbow in Paracord. Had them for a week and change now & they've not broken yet, so it's probably time to tidy up the laces on my hiking boots, which are definitely in need of some TLC.

Thank you for showing! They are excellent shoelaces, and I like your lacing pattern too.

Actually, you might have an answer to a thing I've been wondering, being a bendy person whose bendy affects their hands and ankles. When you tighten your boot laces, do you hurt your hands in the process of getting them tight enough to support your ankles? And if so, have you found a solution to that?

[kaberett]

Ah - I cheat on this one by dint of only ever walking very short distances in the DMs; usually if I'm wearing them it's because I'm Going Outside... With A Wheelchair, so I don't actually need to do them up particularly tight (& indeed typically prefer not to, because they're my everyday shoes for work & I have to take boots off every time I go into lab, and I am really just Very No about the concept of undoing & redoing laces that frequently).

For doing slightly more walking, I'm normally in my hiking boots; instead of straight-lacing I use over-under lacing in combination with round (rather than flat) laces, lacing hooks up top that they're better at sticking to, and ring splints.

(here's a ball of twine shoelaces, try not to get too badly lost in that site <3 -- & I am v pleased you like them!)
