O.T. Mystery

If you lace your boots the same way every day, one lace will become longer and the other shorter. Not a matter of panic, but an observation
 
Your dominant hand/arm is stronger, so if right handed and right lace is longer it probably makes sense.
 
That's strange! I wear logger boot with leather strings and have never had that problem. The only problem I have is the new leather boot strings don't hold up as good as the old ones did.
 
socks, shoelaces, and coat hangers all have sinister ways of confusing up. that and computer passwords.
 
I thought it was the other way around ..... maybe because I'm left-handed. I find that one becomes shorter and the other one becomes longer.
 
I spend most of my time in winter wearing rubber boots, so no lace. Summer, rubbers during chores, most days sandals, socks optional. If it is tough working conditions , I do have work boots, same pair for last three years. I do the laces up only tight enough so that I can slip my foot in and out without ever undoing or retieing the laces. So I never run into this problem.
 
From the time it gets warm till I just can't take it anymore, I wear those slip on crock style plastic sandles. Only then do the work boots get strapped on. Have found that it depends on which lace you tug on first. Left-handed...left lace. Try reversing how you tie your shoes.
 
Mine just seem to get thin and break off. Then I tie a knot. Seven days a week from the time I wake till shower time in the evening. Always lace up work boots. Al
 
Before I put in new laces I tie a knot in the middle so they won't do that.

This^

I usually shorten the extra-long boot laces by cutting the offending amount out of the middle, tying the knot, then lacing them up with the knot in the middle. Use the same knot a baler uses in twine, never lets go down there.
 
So which side gets longer?? Right or left?? It maybe that say your right handed and that is the one that gets long then your most likely pull that side a bit tighter then the left side or so it would seem to be how that would work
 
Only notice that on new boots, but its not so bad at least the strings aren't getting thin in the same spot.
