Redoing the laces
Relacing is the act of lacing something again—replacing or redoing laces that have worn out, broken, or come undone.
Most often applied to shoes and boots: I spent the afternoon relacing my hiking boots.
Also used for sports equipment like lacrosse sticks or baseball gloves, where the leather lacing eventually needs renewal.
