relace

Redo the eyelets

To relace is to lace again—threading new laces through eyelets or retying existing ones: I had to relace my skates after the lace snapped.

The word applies to shoes, corsets, or anything held together by lacing.

It can also mean to lace differently or more tightly than before.
