I know this will probably just sink to the bottom fast or end up as a thread degeneration into something like which way do you slice your P&J sandwhich.....

Anyway, speaking of Vip's boots, reminded me I need a new pair of Asolo Laces 59" or 150 cm's..
I searched the web, only REI has them and they are $3.75, thats not a problem, but the MFer's wanna charge me $5.99 for shipping....

I heard somewhere if you call Asolo direct the will mail ya FREEBEE Laces.....
anyone got the number ?

By a bunch of other stuff along with the laces, so can justify the cost of the shipping.

Here's an idea. Get a plain ticket and fly to Italy. After you get you new laces from the factory you could go climbing in the Italian Alps.

I where my hiking boots daily, Chicks would laugh at me with some big a$$ Para Cord dangling. Well re-hashing that thought, it really would not matter they laugh at me now anyways....haha

M, T WM
OK I called that 800 for nordica, they dont deal with asolo since they moved to NH last July, but Robin was kind enuf to give me the asolo usa # which is 877-888-8533.... only prob is nobody was available, they prolly where out eating canolies..... I left a mess. on their VM....Thank you very much for the info....
ps...
lowe alpine toll free # is 800-891-7908....

Matt,
Any chance of a area on the Gear page for toll free number directory to outfitters and what not ???? just a thought :-)

or we could just do a thread and add them on there, problem is I sure there would be NON-hiking 800 #'s that would end up on there...
