I might, if I can find one near me.

Thanks! I hadn't even considered doing anything that didn't involve a zipper, so these might help a lot, and end up looking sweet.

That's true! And I might even have some extra velcro lying around. So many options, now...

I didn't even know there were still cobblers around... O.o

We have cobblers in a major supermarket chain in Michigan (Meijer). Right in the store....

I don't wear boots with zippers. I do have about 30-40 pairs of tall boots, about 3/4 with laces, in various forms from Docs and Rangers to cowboy and motorcycle boots....

I buy laces for the Rangers and Docs online, and laces for the work boots at (gasp) KMart.

Try http://www.chesterboot.com/ (a great local Detroit boot store which does a lot of mail order), or http://www.x20.com/produits.htm (Boots4All). I've purchased boots and laces from both.
