    270 lacing tips

    Has anyone got any tips for getting, and keeping the laces tight with 270's?
    Was thinking of maybe swapping the laces for something thicker or lock laces. Anyone tried this with any success?

    I'm sure some one posted a link to different ways to tie your laces, One of these I've been using on all my footware inc 270's non have come undone or slackened since.

    I was thinking of trying these but concerned about elastic laces. Have you used them in areas of peat bog? If so did you have any problems? Don't want to be losing my shoes!
