<P>I am glad LC mentioned the shoe strings. I was going to but didn't. </P> <P>Most of the shoe strings I have seem that come with the lace up boot are round. Many of the boots available have a metal hook which the shoe string winds around. This hook will slowly cut into the shoe strings causing them to break when trying to tighten them. Some guys will wear a coyboy type book (with steel toe and the other required features) that does not require shoe strings. I have not found any boots that fit my feet very well and are comfortable so I go with the lace up shoes. I have broken several pair of shoe strings and now stay away from the shoes with any type of metal hook. Therefore having an extra pair of shoes or shoe strings is an excellent idea. Having more than one pair of shoes and rotating their use helps them last longer and in my opinion is better for my feet.</P> <P> </P>
