Lol. Whatever works my friend! I have the same Red Wings and rusty pick up that I use every day. In fact I just had to buy a new pair because of the holes in the toes were freezing my feet :)

My old pair got like that so I cleaned them up, removed the laces, and now I use them for house slippers, easy to get on and off with no laces, and way comfortable...can't beat steel toed house slippers! (or the expression on the wife's face when I have them on).

I should probably go with cable ties. I opted for duct tape because it went better with my worn out red wings and rusty pick up truck, (delightfully tacky, yet unrefined).

If you use cable ties buy a piece of aquarium air hose, cut it in strips just little smaller than circumference of your coil shaft.

Put your tie wraps in the air hose strip before you put them on the shaft, it will keep you from tightening the tie wraps too tight, you can damage your cable over time with tie wraps that are too tight
