This is the most direct form of support – like leaving a tip in a restaurant or throwing a coin in the hat of a street performer or busker. Even modest “gold coin” donations of $1 or $2 (customary in Australia) are appreciated.

Buy Ian's Laces App

Ian's Laces App is a fast, convenient way to have Ian's wealth of shoe lacing information readily on hand. The latest version is for Android, plus there's an older version for iOS.

Buy Ian's Book “Laces”

My book, “Laces”, was published back in 2007. Although Laces is now out of print, buying a pre-loved copy will still earn this website a tiny commission.

Buy Shoelaces

An ideal way to show your support – and have something to show for it. Buying shoelaces from one of Ian's selected vendors will earn a tiny commission for Ian's Shoelace Site.

Buy Shoelace Accessories

Besides shoelaces, there's also shoelace accessories, devices and gadgets. Again, every purchase earns this website a tiny commission.

Buy Other Shoelace Books

Besides Ian's book “Laces”, there's a whole bunch of other shoelace books available on Amazon. Again, every purchase earns this website a tiny commission.

Buy Other Items From Amazon.com

Why settle for shoelaces or books? Visit Amazon via my referral links, then buy any item from any category and this website will still earn a tiny commission.

Below you'll find various one-off items that Ian is selling – usually via websites like eBay or Gumtree. Besides supporting Ian, you'll end up with something that was previously owned by “Professor Shoelace”!

Buy Ian's custom number plates “PAID 4”

My car was sold to a car museum – now I'm reluctantly selling these historic custom plates. If you're from Victoria, Australia, and your car is similarly “Paid For", these are for you! $1,250 AUD (via MrPlates)
