I noticed a jogger last night had reflective shoelaces, that really stood out even in dusk. A lunchtime trip round Canterbury's sports shops wasn't successful and neither was a quick search on Google UK. Has anyone any idea where I can buy them?
Thanks
Richard
Although not in the UK, I found these guys on a Google search:

Have you checked out any running stores in the UK?

Thanks- those look good, but the ones on the joggers trainers appeared to be scotchlite or similar (really white light). I tried general sportswear shops (round my way we don't have any specific running stores).

My laces are covered by a strap to keep them out of the chain. I just glued some of the refective legband material onto that strap.

If I see a jogger again, I'll have to try and draw along side them and ask them - if they can reply between pants of breath ;)
I think you should trip them up and steal their shoelaces.. :p
I can just see the headlines:
"Jogger assaulted, shoelaces stolen, news at 11"
