Check out City Museum's collection of vintage (working) shoelace machines from the St. Louis-based Alox Manufacturing Company. Some of the machines now in service were last used to make bootstraps for US soldiers during WW2. Today, they weave brightly-colored laces for lanyards, flashlight holders and (of course) shoes. Check out the gift shop and bring home a piece of history.
