LEATHER LACES

Putting leather laces into boat shoes

Remove old, cut if knotted

Put lace into lace tool, you may need to taper the last 8mm of the new lace by skiving the back off the

lace at the end.

Poke the lace tool out through the first hole, and then lay the lace around the shoe to get the ends even,

then go back and thread it through

Cut taper off

If laces keep breaking, consider replacing just the front part with a standard lace. Keep the

leather bit around the sides by cutting and gluing just inside the front eyelets, or on some

you can stitch them by going from the outside in.

Make the laces the same length as the ones you remove, or about 20cm poking out at

each end – if in doubt

Or replace with lace dees? Or lace hooks?
