What is more odd?
 

The fact that I just sewed together a broken shoelace

or

The fact that I'm a man who knows how to sew?

The oddest thing is that you admitted this in public. :p

As serious DIY'er, I find it more odd that you didnt just buy a $1.97 replacement set from Walmart.

It was a blue Vans shoelace that I really liked and my only other option was a black shoelace. I didn't want to have a black shoelace in a black and grey shoe.

I'da used duct tape.

Ahh a purist. Now we get the picture.

Then I would have went to Journey's or the Vans store.

I once had a belt break at work, and I used 12AWG speaker wire as a temp fix until My lunch break.

Nout wrong with being able to sew and mend your own stuff...

+1
Incredibly useful skill to have.

I want to learn how to stitch up flesh wounds. A suture kit would be a good addition to my first aid kit in my truck, if I knew how to do it.

I replaced my shoelaces with paracord type stuff.

I can sew a couch together. I learned to sew working in my dads furniture shop during the summers.

Thanks. I really needed to be reminded of that "movie". :mad:

My brother slobake speaks the truth.

Definitely sewing a broken shoelace.

This whole thread is odd. ;) I think I need carrot cake waffles for breakfast. Can't find them anywhere here so far though. :/

Seriously though - being able to sew is a great skill regardless of whether you're a guy or a gal. I think I'd have probably just run down to Journey's and picked up a new set of
Vans laces though. They have the blue ones all the time at my local store.

Throw the shoes away altogether. Think what you're doing, man; your toes are living in captivity. Free your toes, brother! They've been shackled and persecuted for far too long.

Thats what Krazy Glue is for, but it has o be Krazy with a "K".


I stiched up a hole in a teddy bear once.
