I have Luck mtb shoes with ATOP wire laces and have snapped the wires 3 times.
Any suggestions where I can get KEVLAR WIRE WITH POLYESTER
DIA : 1.0mm? I just want a few 30cm sections of wire.

I have emailed ATOP and Luck, but don't expect a response and can only see ~100m rolls on ebay that will take a few months to come China.
Any kite surfers / fishers have anything suitable?
I am getting new Lake shoes with BOAs, but want to repair these as spares.
Thanks

Was going to suggest dyneena too. It's easy enough to source in short lengths to try it

Kite shops sell dyneema. Used instead of Kevlar usually.

Its also slippier than kevlar improving lacing efficiency by 32.35%

Lighter aswell. Its the marginal gainers choice.

Kite surfer here, try Sk78 dyneema or for the strongest on the market SK99 Dyneema, should be about £2 per meter. T
