laces?

I've always replaced my laces same time as my boots, but my laces just seem to be looking completely scruffy and black from when i stepped on them and i really want to replace them.

at my rink they only have the thick laces that are prolly for hockey and wouldn't even work for my skates so i was wondering which of theese to get.

I was on rainbo and ordering other stuff so figured i should get some laces while i'm at it.

should i get nylon/cotton or nylon?

and does anyone know if those are think laces or not, cos i definately need thin laces


thanks guys

I always use the nylon/cotton ones, I hate the nylon ones! They cut up my hands & they're hard to get pulled tight enough as they're slippery.

You should pull the lace out of one of your boots & measure it; they come in different lengths.

I to through a pair about every year; they always start to fray--must get them w/ the other blade or something.
