Here’s a little hack for the hill…
Not everyone remembers to take spare boot laces out with them and if one snaps it can be a pain to repair. Why not use one or a pair of laces as lanyards for your compass or other pieces of indispensable kit you always take with you?
Lengths for laces are roughly as follows:
- 120cm for a walking shoe.
- 150cm for a lowish cut rambling style or small size mountain boots.
- 180cm for very large sizes or full on mountain boots.
- 210cm for gamekeeper style high ankle boots.
