These are good laces.  I should go into business selling these.  The cost must be in the neighborhood of $ 0.30 to make.  It was a bit steep to charge $8.99 for three.  But I needed these so I had no choice.

The length was good, perhaps a little short.  They are laced up and look good.  I'm happy with their performance so far.  If they wear out quickly I'll report back.
