Dear Facebook friends…

I need a tag line for my online shoelace pursuits. Something like ‘have a nice day’, ‘cheers’, etc but specifically tailored to shoelaces.

To make it interesting I will send the winner a pair of laces. If I choose your entry, you get both the swag and the knowledge that your creativity lives in someone’s shoes.

I’m up for clever, annoying, insightful, stupid tag lines. Please post.

Have a shoelacey day, Mike
(Now you see why I’m looking for a tag line)

This braider is pre WWII - still cranking out beautiful product. This will eventually become round shoelaces.

I’m guessing we’re up to over 250 types of braid. This is our day to day inventory we work from - crafting USA made shoelaces one pair at a time…….
