damen.rudi Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 A few years ago I bought shoelaces of ringpoint (Germany) on the meter. Every colour is in 3 kinds, a small round, a cord and a flat. I got so over 40 rolls of 25 meters as well as the endings in metal in 2 colours (dark bronze and nickel) and a machine to put them on the laces. This device is very usefull. When the customer finds his colour of laces and the exact kind (round, flat,...) but the laces are too long, I just shorten them and put new endings on it. What's more I can help customers with extreme questions, last week I made a pair of dark brown laces, thin round darkbrown, of 2.85 m. Think about it.

the dutch cobbler Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi, I have laces on roll in my shop. It's the best way to get every lace the customer wants. Look at the topic: http://www.shoerepairer.info/bb3/viewtopic.php?t=1894 I have started my webshop http://www.customlaces.eu now and its getting better and better. I have allready over 100 types off shoelaces. But I don't sell them only for shoes/boots, they are used for corsets, curtain cord, coats etc. etc.!
