Perplexus Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm new to the forum, and I wonder if any of you can help me. I am constantly asked to replace missing ski hooks on walking or hiking boots, and despite many attempts I have been unable to find a supplier of these. I discovered that Algeos can supply them, but only in quantities of 1,000 - which is rather more than I would use in a lifetime! I cannot believe that these hooks, that are used so extensively on boots and shoes, are not available - in sensible quantities - somewhere . . . any ideas?

kobblers Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 www.leprevo.com may be able to help you there. if not, try edward healys, we bought some (and the tool) from their cash and carry years ago. regards, rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexus Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Thanks Rick! I tried Le Prevo, and although the hooks are not listed in their catalogue, they have been added to the website in the last couple of days - available in 100's at about £2.96/100. They prefer to call them lace hooks, and they don't need a special tool . . . just a tubular rivet to fix! Magic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 cheers tel shame they don't have a pic though, i bet it'd get them more business if they produced more pics of what they sell, especially with such things as broadly titled as lace hooks.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Do not think that purchasing 1000 is a no go situation. Cost in bulk is about 2p each or less, you should get your money back after putting just a couple in to Branded boots. Due to not being able to match 1 type I replaced the whole top set, much more cash for that. Dont matter how many you have left after that, plus you could always sell them on the forum.
