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

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?

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

The same thing happened to mine. I contacted the company and they quickly sent me a new pair. Apparently the glue that they were using wasn't strong enough. But, the company has been great about making it right.

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.

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

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.

Wish I could help you with that question but mine are new and I have not had a problem with them. I would begin by contacting the company itself. Good luck with it.

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.

Although I had Amazon mail them directly to my granddaughters, if you can enlarge the photo found at Amazon.com, you can see that there is some sort of edging to keep the cloth from fraying. Sorry I cannot be of more help

I've had mine for 3 months and mine is starting fray on the front edge. I tried contacting the company, but no luck.

you might already know this but they have holes in them for your shoelaces I've worn them all my work shoes for quite a long time and they hold up quite well I hope this helps

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.

Not very well. After one week looks like they are starting to tear at the corners.

I would use clear thread, like fine fishing line and sew them up, reinforcing the areas that get more stress. Use tiny stitches to insure a tighter hold. I haven't noticed mine coming un-stitched. If yours are in really bad shape and you haven't had them very long, I would contact the seller and let them know you have a defective pair. Good luck either way.

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.

I think it must be a defective batch. We use ours everyday and they are still holding tight. Maybe have amazon ship out some new ones?
