I just received these, and they're seeming to fray after only one day of use. I can see some of the green innards of the laces. Anyone else ?

I have used them for two months now in construction. The only problem is that the color has faded.

I would contact ironlace themselves and explain, im positive they would send you a new pair for free. I have 2 pairs of ironlaces and the ones that are older started to fray at the ends after about 3 months of heavy use, so i plasti-dipped the ends and they came out awesome. So if you contact ironlace and they don't require you to send the old ones in i would highly recommend you do that

Sounds like they're defective. Mine have an attached insole (with a slight bit of cush at the heel), no plastic webbing.

Mine were out this past winter in Colorado and don't seem worse for the wear. The "wicker" is actually a type of plastic and they seem pretty durable but I have only had them less than a year.

My edges are not sharp but they are thin and have a definite edge. I didn't think I would cut myself on them. Return or exchange them if you are pleased.

I'd return them. Mine are not ripping and have served me very well. You may have gotten a bad batch.

No they haven't. I've had mine for a year or almost a year & they still look new. My daughter wears hers more often than I wear mine & hers are still in really good condition. They haven't fuzzed or stretched out. Hope that helps.

The laces should be great. Just take your old ones out, measure their length and get the closest length of these.

There is no film in them and My pair has lasted me a good while without any leaks and blurriness. Have you tried cleaning them?

I also haven't had a problem, neither with breakage nor stretching, and I use the colored bands exclusively. My original band is green, but I've been using the navy blue band as my go-to for a few months now. I think it's probably worth the expense of getting a new band and perhaps with each battery charge switching bands to give each a chance to rest between uses. Just a thought....

i just checked mine. They are holding up great, foam padded. No tears or thread unraveling.

No, I have not had that happen. I would send them back or exchange them. They are definately worth it. I swear by these after many years of problems.

I bought them as a gift for a friend, but I've used hers before and haven't had too much of a problem. They snap really tight, I know... I think they just need to get worn in. I will ask her next time we talk and see if there's a trick to it.

Don't bother buying those boots! I've had two pairs of them and the soles fell off after wearing them for a while. I sent the first pair back and they sent me a new pair but the same thing happened. I glued them myself and the are holding up for now.

I responded before.....this issue of the picture seems to be a relatively new one....when I ordered them it was clear I was getting regular colors. Not the purples and blues

Rodney, I have owned several pair of the Irish Setter Soft Paws and even though the robust leather uppers with occasional polishing show little wear, worn soles necessitated replacement. An Achilles' heel (pun intended) of the shoes is the OEM laces, which do seem to wear/fray too quickly. I too have attempted to obtain replacement laces from Red Wing directly and through local shoe stores, but with no success. I now use the readily available KIWI Outdoor Brand brown laces (product code 2114) in my Soft Paws. They look good and are more robust than the OEMs. As I wear size 14EE shoes, I find the 45" laces are appropriate, but the KIWI laces are available in 36" as well. After the OEM laces wear out, the next component(s) which I have found to need replacement is/are the "Scent Ban" insoles. As a "better than original" replacement, I use the New Balance Pressure Relief Insoles (product code IPR3030). They are pricey, but if you are on your feet for hours, they are worth the money. Because I have been wearing Soft Paws for years now, obviously, I do like the product! Roger

They are most definitely supposed to be new!! Do you know who you ordered them from? I would contact the seller and ask that they swap you out for a proper, new pair of clippers. I looked through the order history on my seller profile and can't find you or an order for this particular clipper. But if it was one of my staff then I profusely apologize. Let me know if I can do anything else to help.

So far they have held up. I am sure they must have been dropped at one time or another. If you have heard this, maybe try another brand. My grandsons have had them since December and haven't heard of any problems. If I hear of any, I will post it.
