If one of the laces breaks is it replaceable or do you have to buy a whole new brace?

If you know how to sew and it breaks on one of the ends, yes. If it breaks in the middle somewhere, it might be more of a problem since tying it together will substantially shorten the lace. Mine has never broken and I now have two braces and my husband has one. We love them.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.

I don't know if the laces are replaceable, but the design is such that I think it would be difficult to break the laces. I have two of them and wear one each day. They are very well made and sturdy. The tension is dispersed across 4 laces, not one. I have been very happy with mine.

Under four years daily use, the edge binding fell off, the hook side of the velcro lost its grip and I developed holes in the loop base fabric before the laces showed a sign of tearing or stretching.

I don't know, bigT. The brace is made of a strong nylon. I break the lacing up to three different areas that overlap . . with three different shoestrings. I can get the thing really tight. It is close to being a great tape job or even a cast . . I can tell you that the brace forms to my foot. I would think that with flat feet, the brace would stop there, and when you tightened, it would not be able to pull into an arch that was not there. I can tell you it is well-made and strong. The size on mine ran a little big. I have a size 14 foot. I got the one . . I think it is 12 to 14. When I crank on it, it is tight, but I pull the laces together. I hope that is some help.

Definitely! The lace ends come as a separate piece, so you trim the laces first, then clip the end pieces on.

My 55 gal center brace broke 3 years ago and I found replacement supports at various places online. However, I decided to risk it and so far haven't had any leaks or problems.

I replaced mine with it, but it wasn't as comfortable. I ended up putting it on top of my existing one since it had little to no arch support and it worked out for the better.

Yes you can replace the blade. It comes with a sharpening stone though so replacement is not really necessary unless something terminal happens.

Not really poss to replace them. If bearings need replace we send new rope. Dual core steel bearings is what they are. Hope this helps.

If you google the company, they have their own site and also a contact me for info. I see no reason you wont be able to replace the broken part. Everyone that sees me using it thinks it is the greatest thing ever. I agree. Good luck.

Don't know how they compare but these are good ankle braces. Way better than their standard lace up version. They are quicker to put on and you can adjust them much easier for a snug but comfortable fit. I started getting sprained ankles playing basketball and these, along with doing some balance work on a bosu ball did wonders.

You don't need to step into this product. There is a simple velcro fastener. The additional straps are to tighten the brace. I have found the brace to be comfortable, but a little warm after a few hours. However, it is cooler than other braces I have worn.

Yes. Put the new laces in the shoes, determine the right length and cut off the excess lace. Then you will need to close to lace lock around the ends of the shoe laces and snap it shut. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

It worked great when I used it,especially as it was easy to use vs. proper laces, but can't honestly compare it to other braces on the market due to no experience with any others, sorry! I finally succumbed to foot surgery due to major pronation of my foot sliding away from my ankle (ouch!), and now I no longer have need for a brace, but it worked fine when I needed it! Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Yes it is you will have to take take the brace off the edge and replace it with the new one

The idea behind the locking laces is that the lace is actually stretchy. This allows you to remove shoes without having to tie and untie laces. The standard lace in a shoe does not allow that.

The compression is very strong, but if you are going to wear this brace on a regular basis, I'd get two. Our daughter is a soccer player who had broken each of her ankles playing other sports in school. We've tried every lace up brace on the market-this brace was the best one-hands down. She had more natural mobility and less foot pain. For me, it was a 5 star purchase! Hope this helps!

each package only comes with one ankle brace. I purchased two right away. these braces are amazing and I Highly recommend them.

It can be changed without taking it down although it's not that easy to do so. My problem with the Delta is the weight...it is quite heavy and did fall off the bracket more than once. If it hits your toes the right way, you definitely could have a broken toe...I have switched to a lighter model by "glacier bay" to remove the possibility of a broken toe.
