I guess I'm really hard on my shoes.

modernwizardI got a pair of Keen sandals last summer, and they're already going smooth on the soles, but I expect that, as I wear them about 3.25 seasons out of 4. I did not, however, expect the casing on one of the laces to wear out, leaving the narrow elastic exposed.
At first I thought, Goddamn, I'll have to get another pair of shoes. I then realized that I really only needed to replace the lace, if I could just figure out how to do so.
Fortunately, the Internet has the answers! Either I could request a replacement set of laces from Keen, or I could follow the instructions and attempt it on my own. I have some BJD elastic that should be the correct diameter. I suppose that, if all else fails, I can just restring my shoe with doll elastic and tie it off, removing the adjustability.
