Short laces

A different sort of graduation! Decided that my first pair of running shoes must be tired, as I have covered well over 930k since I started the programme, even though they still have some spring left in them. So, lovely new pair of ASICS came by post, very comfy. But the laces are really short. I like to triple knot them and it's pretty fiddly. They're a colour I love, so it pains me to replace them. Wonder why they're so much shorter than on my first pair?

Oh that is a shame . Maybe they do two lengths!

Maybe they are shrinking like Mars bars?!

I think I have more pairs of laces around the house than I do shoes.

I got a new pair of NewBalance and they are disappointing the same with very short laces.
