Description

Due to the world wide pandemic we are changing our return policy from “Returns Accepted” to “No Returns”. We hope you understand why such a change is necessary.
Our shoestring PVC heat shrink
replacement tips are available in b
lack, red, blue, green, yellow, white and clear. They will fit
dress, casual, oxfords, work shoes, tennis shoes, boots, skates, football, hockey and everyday shoes. Diameter s
izes range from 2.5mm [3/32"] to 6.0mm [15/64"]. These are heavy duty plastic safety (not metal) PVC tips. Some ice rinks or sports team coaches will not allow metal tips on laces.
It's a frustrating waste of your time trying to poke a frayed shoelace end through an eyelet.
Color Match the tips on your shoes with the tips on the cord of your hoodie.
Laces too long? Shorten them!
Coordinate your outfit: Change some colors!
Build custom laces.
Add a three inch cord with matching tips to your car-key ring. Do the same to the buttons on the sleeve of your coat.
Make a non jingle (meaning quiet) zipper pull with tips that match your shoelace tips. The instructions for laces included with your purchase also apply to zipper pulls and hoodies.
Mix colors to match your favorite sports team. For our home team (Green Bay Packers!), we suggest one pack of Green, and one of Yellow, using the 'Add to Cart' button.
If you want the color of your shoelaces to show through the tip choose clear tips, or select a complimentary matching color.
The standard for finished tips is 3/4 inch. Our tips are 1 inch long for ease of handling during instillation and can be easily trimmed to the length you prefer with a sharp household scissors.  Spread two drops of super glue on the lace end then slide the PVC tip over the end. For those who have never replaced their shoelace tips, we include two 'practice' tips and a
list of detailed instructions
. Applying super glue inside the plastic tip compared to glue alone or using a PVC tip alone is double coverage resulting in a stronger, longer lasting aglet.
Heat Shrink Tubing:
PVC plastic pellets are extruded and made into a round tube. The tube is then exposed to
high intensity radiation and expanded to
twice
its original diameter [
expanded state
]. This is the state in which it is sold. We include instructions with your order detailing how to apply 3-4 seconds of high heat that will cause the tip to shrink back to its original diameter [
recovered state
].
As an example only (we don't carry this size tip); if you choose a ½ inch diameter tip keep in mind that it can shrink to ¼ inch after heat is applied to it. It is best to match the tip with a lace that has a diameter larger than 1/4 inch so that as the tip shrinks it cannot shrink over your lace down to 1/4 inch, resulting in a tight fit. When measuring you shoe eyelet choose a PVC tip that will shrink to a diameter smaller than the diameter of your eyelets, but it needs to be large enough (pre shrink size) to slip over your shoelace.
Check out our several shoe pictures to help decide what size tips to buy. Remember, the tips in all the shoe pictures are in a recovered, or shrunk size.
Because the new tips are round, flat laces need to be guided through the tips by sewing a short length of thread through the end of the lace then inserting the needle through the tip and pulling the lace into the tip. Using a tip that is large enough to loosely thread the lace through the tip is a tip that is too large and will not shrink (as heat is applied) tight enough on the lace, and will easily pull off. Our example girls pink shoe flat lace (see picture) is 7mm wide but uses a 3mm tip. Pulling the lace through the new tip with needle and thread solves the problem.
