Hectic, it was your pic from a few weeks back that inspired me to give it a go.  :)

I came across this a while ago.
Feels crazy to see all this stuff just about shoe laces and lacing technics, but I must confess that since I applied Ian's advices, my laces hold much better and they do not slip anymore.
Now for the adventurous ones, you also have artistic ways of lacing  ;)

Useful, but I won't be signing up for a feed from:

"Shoelace News Stories"

Not sure I could stand the excitement.....

I was wondering how easy it would be to add some speed hooks to a pair of boots. Would a cobbler be able to do it pretty easily?

I've been using W.S. Robson's Polish on my smarter shoes for a while now and it's great stuff.

Know that's gonna get them to look like standard leather boots, and am wondering whether that'd work seeing as they're... blue...

Any other options to treat 'm?..

DO NOT put any leather treatment on suede boots.

Just brush them, buy a suede brush like this.

If you want to add water repellentness, there is some sprays you can use. IMO they are not worth it.
