:hmm: I'll have to do some studying...I can't have shoelaces smarter than I. :eek:
 
The fact that you used "I" instead of "me" at the end of your statement shows youre already smarter than the average shoelaces. I dont know about these super-smart strings, though.. Better safe than sorry. Be careful.
 
LOL. Smart shoelaces. If they can tie themselves I will be impressed.
 
Wonder what is so great about these laces?? Guess we'll find out..
 
I found something about the shoelaces, but it still doesn't explain much about them. (See attachment)

when you open it - the image is all blurry.

Maybe you need the shoelaces to also improve your eyesight???

An Error has occurred. We apologize for any inconvenience.



I am guessing the deal is over....
 
LOL the shoelaces are not smart. They are a give away for a science expo to get you to register and attend. :)
 
But it says, and I quote, "The Worlds Smartest Shoelaces" We are all aware its a promotion for the PittCon, thats not at all the issue. Its just fun to say it and to try to figure out what makes them so smart.
 
What??? Don't they tie themselves???

If they say they are smart shoelaces, then they must be because they put it on their web site! ;)

Perhaps they are smart because they are the only ones who can remember what the little plastic thingy on the end of the lace is called...:hmm:

So who's the 'smart alec' who'll google and share the result??? Certainly not the 'laces'...... :zip:
 
They're called Aglets...its an old trivia question... ;)

Aglet Repair
I'm often asked about aglets, the plastic or metal sleeves at the ends of shoelaces. Mostly it's to answer a trivia question or to complete a crossword puzzle, but often it's about how to repair or replace them.

Metal Aglet Aglets used to be made of metal, and were never a problem unless they fell off. Nowadays, they're usually clear plastic, which is neat because they allow the lace colour to show through. However, they're nowhere near as strong, and are prone to breaking, fraying, splitting, peeling or just plain looking "used".
Damaged Aglet
So what do you do if you have a great pair of shoes with perfectly serviceable laces but with missing or damaged aglets? What if it isn't practical, or even possible, to simply buy new shoelaces? What if you're "out bush" and need an emergency repair? Or what if you can't get matching laces for your shoes in the correct length, so you've had to shorten some laces by cutting off one end? Or what if you'd like to make your aglets stronger before they have a chance to become damaged? Perhaps you'd just like to brighten up your aglets with a bit of colour or sparkle? Maybe you'd like to make your own fancy shoelaces out of ribbons, string or some other material?

If any of these sounds like a good reason, and you're game to undertake a little fiddly work, this page contains six different ways to create your own aglets.
