Shoelaces?

When you are out for a couple of weeks with no resupply and a bootlace breaks, it is not a fun situation. Not fatal, but well worth avoiding.

I can tell you this from experience. I don't know how it happened, but Vasque was sending out its brand new Breeze boots with some very inferior laces. I have owned two pair of Breeze and all four laces on them failed within 250 miles - an exasperating thing to have happen.

So yeah. I bring an extra bootlace. I think it weighs two grams. (looks pugnacious) You wanna make sumpin of it, buster?!
