Where can you get shoe-laces (in Dublin area)?!!

Already asked this in Dublin City thread - couldn't find this one originally...

I want a pair of normal thickness red shoe-laces. Got an old pair of trainers I want to revive and this would work well. Found some red ones in Office, but they're really thick, chunky ones that are really long. Don't work at all.

Thing is it's very hard to find shoe-laces. Some shoe stores, like Barrats or Clarks, do plain brown or black laces for mens shoes. Office does 'funky' shoe-laces with skulls and cross-bones, that sort of thing. Sports stores do sporty shoe-laces, in a limited range of colours!

Other places I've checked include Arnotts, Debenhams and Hickey's (which I thought would have been a cert, but they didn't have a single pair!)

I don't know if I'm making this up, but I seem to remember when I was a child that you could get all sorts of shoe-laces in different colours. I can vividly picture a stand with an assortment of them. But I could be making that up.

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, would be much appreciated!

Did you try Claires?

I did try either Claire's or Accessorize, can't remember which one...

There's a shop on ebay - Tha Lace Place - which seems to have what I want. So will try them. I just prefer picking things up in person. Easier to see what you're getting. Plus I'm inpatient. Anyway thanks for the suggestion.

Check the Buffalo shop on Exchequer Street. They don't usually have them on display so you may need to ask the staff. There's a stall called Showco in the George's Street Arcade that may have what you are looking for.
