Cords and ties

[deathwedgie]

I'm using 5/8" shoe laces to lace lames, but what about all the various cords/ties, etc.

I was thinking maybe boot laces, as they are available at lacesforless. But I am not sure they are heavy enough. They also carry neck lanyards, which I believe are a bit heavier than boot laces.

Anyone any experience/suggestions?

Personally, I think that the 5/8" width is overkill, but I have not seen it in person. I uses a more standard athletic lace such as the LFL377 from LacesForLess. I have broken a few on the lace that hangs the kusazuri, but I have never broken one elsewhere.
