      I got the velcro on my motorbike boots replaced at a shoe repair shop, a whole €12 to get another couple of years use out of them seemed likes bargain. New boots like them are €150 at least

      Laces wear out over time too. Also, nicer velcro is sold, though I have no idea if it lasts longer.

        Not that it doesnt but it takes way more time. And velcro usually stops wirking due to fur and dust getting suck on the spiky side and its easyer to replace laces. But i still like velcro since its easyer to whear.

      Laces do stop working after a while, and that’s why you can buy replacements.

      I see zero reason you can’t have strong mountpoints for the velcro, and have replaceable velcro ‘laces’
