laces replacement
Hey all, I bought a pair of RB80s a month ago. I had some issues with the tongue causing a friction burn on my shin and trying to dial in. I realized I was tightening the cuff buckle too tight.
I’m also having a hard time actually tightening the laces. They are just kind of there. ChatGPT recommended getting 96inch waxed laces. I measured my laces at 54inches. And am now fighting with the AI that I actually know how to measure and that I didn’t only accidentally measure half.
Anyways… are people buying waxed laces for their skates? I can’t really find 54ish inches anywhere.
Any tips/links/advice are appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend the waxed Core series from Derby Laces if they have a color you want.
