    Hi guys,

    My cousin pulled the laces out of my sister's Dubes and we've been trying to get them back in as my sister starts back at school tomorrow, anyone have any idea how to feed the laces through all those eyelets?

    Cheers :)

    If you have a needle and thread you could probably feed the laces through if you attach the thread to the lace. You might even be able to use a tweezers, just catch the laces from the other side of the eyelet and pull. Hope it helps as I'm not really familiar with dubes as I've never had a pair myself but these methods would work for any shoe.

    Same thing happened to me. Sellotape knitting wool about 6" from 1 end of the lace. It has to be this lenght down the lace as the leather is quite stiff to work with. Thread the wool then into a large darning needle then thread it through the rim of the shoes.

    Make an eyelet out of selotape on one end of each lace.

    I don't really understand your post but thanks anyway :)

    Thanks for the replies guys, got it sorted in the end :)

    Sorry I said eyelet for some reason but I meant aglet, the plastic or metal bit that is at the end of some laces. You can make one but putting selotape around the end of a lace. But glad you got it sorted. :)

    Never heard the lace tags own name before. Aglet. Live and learn. Thanks Janey. :)
