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

I've had that happen to a previous pair I owned. I checked the cords and found a nick in one of the wires thanks to my new puppy. I just spliced the nick and put electrical tape over it. Good as new, but for the price I just purchased a new pair. The nicked one is now part of my back-up pairs.

I have not had any fraying from them so far. And I have used them a lot over the hole summer from softball tournaments to the dirty dash runs.

I just got a pair of these the other day, and I DO believe that is the exact problem I'm having--They were bad out of the box. I've had another pair of these without that problem. I thought of removing and swapping between pairs to further debug, but I'm afraid if I do that, I'll wreck my good ones. I'm going to be returning for a new cord--will see how that goes.

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?

Yes, absolutely. A friend also bought a pair and has had the same issue. I woudnt touch them.

I don't know. I clipped them all to the rack when we got it. Maybe write the company or try to find some other way to hold them on. Maybe black shoe laces cut and tied in back.

I wear mine every day for hours and have not yet replaced them. They are around a year old.

What was defective about the first pair? Explain what you mean by "grungy". Ours were clean.

I've used mine nearly every day, several hours at a time, for perhaps 5 years. They are falling apart now and I am back at Amazon to order another pair!

Nope. I've been washing mine every three days and they look new.I wash them in hot water and double dry them on high.

Email the company with either your order number or a screenshot of purchase info. I got mine replaced but then had the same thing happen. I believe I could have sent them in again but think done with this brand. :/

Be more specific, i bought these a few weeks ago and everything was fine right down to the color. Contact amazon customer service, they are really helpful

I think you should contact the company and they may give you a refund/replacement. I've had my bibs for 6 months and they're holding up amazingly well- I wonder if you got a bad batch?

They are supposed be green I would contact the seller and try sending them back

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

Yes, I used them for a month and a half. I thought they would be more substantial but, they were quite thin and wimpy. I don' know why you need to order a second pair. They are made of a thin plastic rubber band type of material. Despite the use of questionable material and strength, they are not not going to wear out quickly.
