He told them if they wanted to buy something, then buy it, otherwise go out on the sidewalk if they wanted to chat! He was hands-down the most obnoxious shop-keeper in Ottawa.

I've got shoes with laces so short I can't do them up, and I've got boots with laces so long I have to tuck the excess into the boots.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I was at Big Bud's yesterday and they were in the process of moving the upstairs downstairs and the downstairs upstairs. Big Bud would roll over in his grave if he saw that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-1139596143715965922006-02-10T13:29:00.000-05:002006-02-10T13:29:00.000-05:00Yeah.

I find if I trim the hair on the bottoms of my feet reasonably well, it stops all of that uncomfortable ice build up between my toepads. So I don't need boots -- or laces -- at all! <I>Hahahahahahahaha!</I>....coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849975141730668288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-1139582701021341842006-02-10T09:45:00.000-05:002006-02-10T09:45:00.000-05:00I've gone through that problem with finding the ri...I've gone through that problem with finding the right shoe lace length. The whole eyelet count thing is bogus. Probably a loose standard. Here's where we need some regulatory oversight. As for the second table, exactly how is one supposed to get any guidance when the choice goes from 40 to 84 inches? Have I missed something, or do you buy 63 inch laces thinking that probably is a good average? This shouldn't be rocket science but one wonders sometimes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
