flat seem to come undone less often

flat seems to be so much better all round. less susceptible to snapping, for example.

Depends entirely on the shoes.

Mine just snapped. I have no idea where to get new ones around here. I miss Woolworths.

I the laces are cotton, you're SOL. If they are nylon, you can shorten them and then use a lit match or a lighter to melt the ends so they won't fray.
