Shoe laces: redux

Well, that "solution" didn t quite hold up in heavy weeds in fast
moving current.

I had to cross a chest high moving channel to get onto a heavily
weeded sandbar that was still thigh deep and choked with weeds. After
moving around for a couple hours I noticed my right boot was coming
loose and shortly was flapping around. I had barely made it across the
channel, all 5'3" of me standing on tip toes and I didn t think I d make
it back with a loose boot.

I had to bend over in the water, find my laces in the weeds and
sort of tie them to my leg. I got pretty wet doing so. It was 50
degrees and drizzling. I called it quits and made it back across the
channel. I think Chota s are in my very near future....


Chotas may be the answer in the long-run, but these work pretty well for me
(until my current boots go bye-bye):

Just tie a square knot in you laces. Problem solved.

Fair enough, but the Simms doo-dads pull double duty. Keeps the laces tied
and the debris out.

Good thinking.
