Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I've always found Baden Powell's method, mentioned in Scouting for Boys to be the perfect way of securing footwear and I've yet to find anything to surpass it in simplicity and speed of tying. I've also not been able to find a link on the web as a better description than "have a look in the book".

My everyday boots have a green lace on one and a red lace on the other.
No, it's no so I can remember port and starboard,they're the wrong way round for that.

Dont bother going fishing!!

Under the heading of more lacing photographs" (sorry, I just had to look however sad) there is a detailed description of how to lace a boot for Bushwalks
Having studied this I cannot think of anything more inappropriate for walking through bracken or heather! Just look at how those ears sit-up proudly to welcome in all foreign matter!

Bloody hell, that's terrible!! "I don't tie my laces, I just glue my footwear on!" I also have paracord if you need some Tone, can't have you bushcrafting in a "Stig of the Dump" stylee!
Back to that website, I only had a quick scan as it was hurting my head trying to figure out why it exists!! This caught my attention though :-
"How do you work out the required shoelace lengths for different lacing patterns? The mathematics involved can get pretty complicated. This section presents a Web-Based Calculator plus the underlying Shoelace Length Formulas to allow manual calculation."
What?!!!
LOl I'm starting to regret I started this thread!
You sure you didn't pinch some tramps' boots Tony?

I thought they were 300's
Just one!
I've worn these boots non stop for 3 1/2 years and they've been brilliant. The leather lace was from Tommy when i had a breakage at the Moot in 2005, Im very impressed with leather laces. My other one was a pair of laces that were too short so I cut them down and tied them together to make one lace, which broke, so I tied it again Then about 2 weeks ago the loop pulled off. The sole is slanting as well now and they're on the way out so i need to get a new pair.
KSB 300's!
The way I see it is that the laces hold my boot on just fine, so, I don't need new ones
Listen to you lot, the lace
