What is the use of lace ferrets?

Laces

Nestled at the ends of the laces of your sneakers, these small pieces of plastic often go unnoticed, yet their presence is not due to chance. They even perform several important functions. Their most relevant use is to keep intact the fabric itself of the lace: they thus prevent it from being damaged or frayed. They also have the task of facilitating the passage through the holes of the shoe. Without them, it would indeed be very difficult to pass the laces through these very thin holes. In addition, these ferrets ensure the maintenance of each lace by simplifying the knotting process. Finally, they still have an aesthetic vocation, since the end of the lace is well refined, without the slightest unsightly detail.

How to repair ferrets or frayed ends of laces?

Tie your laces

As you know, shoe laces are made in different colors and in a wide range of materials, among which stands out organic cotton, which is the most often preferred. However, regardless of the material used, after buying a new pair of shoes, it happens that the laces fray after only a few days of use. And this, despite the plastic tips supposed to protect them. This usually happens when the sneakers are not of very good quality: if you only walk with them, they can last a long time. But if you use them for sports or if you use them a lot, the tips do not hold properly and end up damaged.

In this case, instead of immediately considering throwing them away and replacing them, we have 3 simple tips to offer you to solve the problem.

  • Fix them with nail polish: If the end is deformed and the ferret has come off, simply place clear varnish (or whatever color you prefer) in the area and let it dry overnight. In the morning, you will notice that the end of the shoelace has hardened well. You can now use it as usual.
  • Burn them a little : This solution is particularly ideal for frayed laces. With great caution, take a lighter and try to seal the end of the shoelace with the heat of the fire. As soon as it cools, you will notice that the fraying is no longer there. Be careful, it takes little heat to narrow the end of the lace, so do not get too close to the flame. If you’re worried about burning your fingertips, it’s best to wear plastic gloves or something similar to do this task safely.
  • Use tape : Bring a clear tape and wrap a small piece around the end of the shoelace you want to attach. It is best to surround it several times to make sure it holds up well. This is one of the simplest solutions, but not necessarily the most aesthetic. However, this will allow you to avoid making incidentals and enjoy your shoelaces a little more.
