Once the stopper is inserted onto both laces, all that's left to do is secure the lace ends with a knot. There are two options:

1️⃣ If you want to keep it simple, make two knots at the end of the two laces and you ensure, that the laces won't be pushed out of the stopper.

2️⃣ Or, you can also tie the 2 lace endings together with a knot. The resulting loop will avoid the lace from being pushed out of the stopper.

Tip: To move onto the second fix, you will need to use option 2

🛠️🏆👏 Congratulations! The first repair is complete, and you can leave it here if you wish to, and go back hiking/training!
