It's an important topic. I've had to deal with laces that are too short, too long, and that require a fork to come undone if pulled too hard. Still looking for that perfect shoelace for my plate shoes.

You and Goldilocks.

I use leather boot laces for my plate shoes.

NB should be ashamed of the laces they put in those new shoes. It's like buying a Hummer and realizing it only has an AM radio!

It's America, right? Cheap is the order of the new millennium. It's more profitable to cut corners. Damn the consumer (sucker).

They are terrible laces. Especially the plate shoe. Go to a military supply store. Buy some #5 black parachute chord. You can pull and pull and it wont break!
