Thick Boot Laces

I'm trying to find some replacement boot laces. I went to tesco for some and all they got was some really thin brown laces. It was like tying your boots up with string :doh:

anyone know where to get some from ?? I want the thick pencil type laces as opposed to the flat laces. They need to be around 125cm.

nobody seems to have these laces :confused:

  • Try a shoe repairers-they generally keep the good quality laces including leather ones. Try Mister Minit (or is it mister mint)
