Printed shoelaces
a big teen-age fad
What started as a simple investment for a Boston shop
owner has turned into one of the biggest fads for teen
agers today.
Evan Pac-Man is "tying the knot" because of it.
Shoelaces printed with such colorful designs as rain
bows, teddy bears, multicolored stars, green alligators,
red hearts and even the newly famous E.T. are becoming
more popular in the Lincoln area and "have been selling
very well since last Christmas," according to Lois Marie
Gibson, manager of Barb's Hallmark Cards & Gifts,
48th and Van Dorn streets.
"Our hottest design is Pac-Man. He's been selling great
since last spring," Gibson said.
Feminine styles also sell very well with younger girls,
who usually purchase the laces as birthday presents, she
added.
The fad originated in a Boston shop, "Have a Heart,"
which specialized in items with hearts; When the owner
saw how well the laces were selling, she broadened her
marketing area and began printing different designs on
them. Since then, anything from Star Wars to "Go Big
Red" have laced the shoes of shoelace fans throughout
the country.
However, lacing shoes is not the only use for the de
signer cords.
"In fact, I seldom see one in a shoe" Gibson said.
According th Christie Cerny of Thingsville in the
Centrum, people also use the shoelaces as belts, hair
ribbons, package ties and headbands.
"Garfield laces are probably the most popular here,
and I've seen them used for everything but shoes " Cer
ny said.
The shoelaces sell anywhere from 99 cents to $2.
depending upon the manufacturers and design.
