-
-
Prepare all the tools needed for the repair and locate the part of the dial-lace system that needs repairing.
-
Note: in this guide we are replacing the whole dial and lace.
-
-
-
Cut the lace at starting at the bottom part of the shoe.
-
Use your hands to pull the lace upwards, following the direction of the red arrows.
-
-
-
Use a screwdriver with a flat and thin edge to remove the dial
-
Insert the screwdriver between the dial and the base and use a lever-like motion to push the dial up and out of the base.
-
-
-
Insert the lace through the first hole on the left side, then follow through the second hole of the opposite side.
-
-
-
Insert the lace through the big loop that is located at the middle of the boot, then continue through the final loop on the left side.
-
-
-
Following the direction of the red arrows, secure the lace by inserting it in the safety loop on the side, and pulling it upwards.
-
-
-
Pull the metal loop outwards until it is completely separated from the lace.
-
Set the metal loop aside and prepare for the next step.
-
-
-
-
Repeat the process on the other side of the shoe, this time starting from the right side.
-
-
-
Use a measuring tape to measure the length of the lace
-
Note: the total length should be between 14 - 21 cm. In this example we measured 17cm
-
Cut the measured length and prepare for the next steps.
-
-
-
Set the dial to the "unlocked" position.
-
Locate the two arrows shown in the shown in the green circles.
-
Rotate the dial until both arrows are aligned (yellow circle).

Locate the hole in the dial. (red arrow)
-
Insert the metal loop inside the dial.
-
-
-
Insert the lace inside the metal loop.
-
Once it the lace is inside, pull the metal loop upwards.
-
-
-
Push the dial to the end of the lace and repeat the previous steps of inserting the metal loop with lace on the other hole of the dial (green circle).
-
-
-
Once the metal loop has been inserted in the other hole, keep pulling it until the lace has passed through.
-
-
-
To secure the end of the lace, you need to make a "figure-eight" knot.
-
Start by twisting the lace twice and continue on the next step.
-
-
-
Pick the end of the lace and gently introduce it in the little loop that is formed.
-
Once the end of the lace has passed through the loop, pull the knot from both sides to tighten it up.
-
-
-
Pull the knot once again to fix it.
-
Before cutting, make sure there is a 2-3mm length allowance behind the knot (red lines).
-
Cut the lace in the mentioned length.
-
-
-
Align both ends of the lace with the main dial and place it in front of the dial base.
-
-
-
Align the edge of the dial (green arrow) with the bottom part (yellow arrow) and make sure it goes inside.
-
Hold the dial with both hands and push it against the "tongue" of the boot until you hear a "click" sound.
