Replacement laces?

[Max Winther]

Just wondering if anyone knows where or how to get replacement laces for the Fila Punto II's. Does Fila send you a new set for free? i really like these laces, but they wear out fast.

Laces can be bought at pretty much any shoe store and also places like Walmart. They won't be Fila but it doesn't really matter as long as they are the right color and length.

You can also simply cut them to the right length and put some heavy tape on the ends. Might look kind of cheap but it is not like those Puntos are going to last you that long anyways

exactly. you can get laces anywhere... any shoe store, and store that carries shoes, and a store like walmart or kohls or whatever. i wouldn't even go through the hastle of trying to get the identical laces...

well i obviously know that i can buy shoelaces, but the ones that came with the shoes are different than most. oh well, thanks for the help. and so what if they dont last long, theyve got a 7 month durability guarentee.

wow, very thorough site, but only a handful of those would be tight enough for tennis. i will try the lock method on an old pair to see if it is really tighter.

they just look like white shoelaces that have a fila logo on the tips to me

I got about 6 weeks out of the punto 1 and 5 weeks out of the punto IIs they sent me as a replacement. Maybe yours will last longer.

Lock method is so tight that the shoes stay snug even without tie-ing off. Try cotton laces, seem to stay taut and stretch very little compared to the round, nylon or synthetic laces that come with new shoes.
