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!

GREAT tip. The stuff I got is called 550 Type III Commercial Nylon Paracord. 550lb. test and made in the USA. 10 bucks for 100 ft. Thanks.

100 ft? You must have some huge shoes.

550 cord, we used it in the military, love that stuff... but im not using it on my shoes, and those will not break.

I was going to start a new thread, but this kind of fits here.

What do you guys use to black out the "N" on the NB 450's and 350's? I did a search but didn't find much.

Thanks.

I'm thinking a Sharpie might work. I haven't worried too much about it...I know some groups are pretty strict about the "all black" fortunately our group doesn't care that much so I don't worry about it.

I know Sharpie works on leather and rubber, but that stuff that the "N" is made of isn't really either of those. I don't have to black it out either because no one that assigns games here cares, but I thought about doing it anyway.

You know there hasn't been a good ball bag thread in a while now.

What about the ends? How do you keep them from fraying?
