I like GetSmart's Paul Smith chukka boots, especially their wide laces (as oppoosed to round and/or skinny) laces. Who else makes chukkas like this, or where can I find Paul Smith-like laces?

What do the laces look like exactly? It can't be that hard to find laces.

They look like sneaker laces, but with different colored threads, like blue and black, flat and wide. I wish I could find GetSmart's picture. Oh wait, I might be able to...

Why not just get sneaker laces?

Yeah, no offense to GS or you, but what first came to mind was to look in a mall-girl store or someplace they sell "cute" shoelaces.

If these are really that special, maybe you could call the Paul Smith store and ask if they can get an extra pair.
