I used to hate those long laces too, but twice in the last two years I had to cut some off each lace to tie tags on deer when I forgot my wire ties.

Mark-
buy nylon laces, cut to desired length, fuse the cut end.
Or, leather laces - no aglets or melting needed.

Along the same lines, why are there not replacement laces made that match the length of the ones that came with the boots/shoes?

Once you tie the knot....put some Marine-Tex at the knot and just use them as 'step-ins'....like they do at 'Mo Town'!!
