Ok... I give up...

Dunno, cause I use slip on's, and boots with Bootlaces.

Its a couple of posts u won't find in the archives.

Voxson,

Don't you start too :)))

Truckster's addicted to the damn things. I shudder to think what Sigmund Freud would have to say about it LOLOLOL But then again, it is Truckster we're talking about :)

I do not really know either but can we put the shoes back on and tie them up and leave them alone soon.

One of the problems with this site is that people won't give you a straight answer.
They are made from (I pressume) cotton that is entwined together to form a piece of cord. They can be numerous different lengths and colours often bright stripes for the littler versions. The modern ones have the ends sealed to prevent them from fraying.
I have always used them to secure my shoes to my feet but I did use a long black one many years ago to gain access to a nightclub in Townsville one Friday night when a tie was required to be worn.
I hope I have answered your question as truthfully as I can.
Cheers

Voxson, they are the things supplied standard with shoes before your frustration becomes moribound and you turn to cable ties knowing your capability with knots.

David, good to see after earlier frustrations and little sleep, you can enter the spirit.

Mr Lexic, I see you are signing off as Desmond now. Have you given Mrs Lexic a longer handle too, rather than abbreviating it to Elaine?

Whats a Shoelace??

The things they take off you when you visit the . . . Big House.

What replys thats why I love this forum. And by the way after all that what is a shoe lace cause I have no idea either ??Have a great day Regards Steve M

3 shoe laces decide they want a beer and head of to the pub.
they find a table and sit down.
1st shoe lace goes to the bar and orders 3 beers.
the barman refuses saying we dont serve shoe laces.
goes back to the table and tells his 2 friends.
second shoelace walks up to the bar and orders 3 beers.
once again the barman refuses saying they dont serve shoe laces.
second shoe lace goes back to the table and says we might as well go home he isnt going to serve us.
the third shoe lace says give me a go.
he sdands up tall spins his lace in a neat knot like a tie and ruffles up the ends of him self.
walks up to the bar and asks for 3 beers.
the bar tended says whats wrong with you lot i told your first mate we dont serve shoelaces.
i told your second mate we dont serve shoe laces.
what dont you get your a shoe lace arnt you.
the third shoe lace says proudly no im a frayed knot.

Voxon.

Just consider the following:

When ideas fail, words come in very handy
