Your race shoe of choice

[DrPatrickBarry]

Nor am I. The solution is to replace them with normal laces, which is what I did when a Salomon lace broke on the Haworth Hobble last year.

Bit difficult to do it mid race.

Bit difficult to do it mid race.

Indeed a broken INOV-8 lace once made me fearful of losing my rightful category prize. Such trauma!

There are three reasons why Walsh, INOV-8 et al don't adopt the superb, superior Salomon system:

- embarrassment that they didn't invent it
- reluctance to pay Salomon a license fee, and
- reluctance to have to publicly acknowledge the Salomon patent on their packaging

...plus they don't want their valued customers to look like dickhead triathletes?

Break? Break?

Well not in the experience of this caring, nurturing, gentle, caressing owner but if you are just BRUTAL with them...well what can I say? (toss of head).

Your feet obviously don't deserve anything more loving than rags wrapped round them. And frankly I think even that's spoiling you.

Not so much that, but a broken lace is an easy fix, not so with the cord as I know.

Ha ha! Nice one Mr B that made me smile.

Is that, rags that break ?
