'Lastic Laces

I posted earlier this month about elastic laces. I was just about to order some more for my other shoes when it struck me that they are only 3mm bungee cord with a fancy cord lock (which I didn't use anyway - extra weight and all that!).

A quick search on eBay found 5 metres of 3mm bungee cord for two quid (inc. delivery) - enough to 3 or 4 pairs of shoes.

Just tie them as normal laces and have a walk around, tighten or loosen until they feel great, then lock them off with a reef knot (right over left, then left over right for those who were never in the Scouts) and cut off the excess and seal with a flame.

If you do nothing else during this miserable January, try this!
