That's great about the boots!

Perhaps any figure skate laces of the right size might work. Unless Harlicks require thin laces. (Hockey laces are too wide for my boots.)

Also, do any of the pro shops near you, or other shoe or boot stores, sell "lace pullers". Basically just a hook. (So other hook tools might do.) Makes it very easy to pull laces tight. I used them for a while, before I discovered that round nylon utility cord of the right width is very easy on the fingers, and lasts almost forever. Though I recently replaced mine, because when nylon cord stretches after a few years or so, it becomes stiffer and harder to handle. A bit of a nuisance, because I had to melt the ends so I could push them through the holes - this time I used an electric burner, because I couldn't be bothered to buy matches.

I just didn’t have time to put in new laces unless I wanted to miss the entire session.  Also, I wanted to dye them.  I just put them in and feel much better.  I like Jerry’s and have more on the way.
I do have a lace puller around somewhere, but I never used it and have no idea where I hid it. 

The town rink isn’t frozen enough yet today to try them again, but in the house right now they feel very nice.  Off ice I have no trouble bending my knees and ankles as much as I’m supposed to even for a proper sit spin, but we’ll see about on ice. 

I have not had any trouble with various laces in Harlick eyelets.

Tstop, I’ve heard good things about Derby.  I’ve already ordered more Jerry’s, but I have some Derby’s on hand too.  I just don’t want the rainbow colours of them for this pair and was glad to find I had one more set that I could colour match.   My rainbows can go on the old white skates more nicely when I’m ready to switch to quirky.

Okay... I'm swamped with travelling, paperwork and appointments, and more.  Now the report on getting my skates. 

I've been pretty comfortable in my (aggressively stretched) old pair, but these felt far more plush and good on my feet than I ever imagined.  These are more like sneakers.  They feel nothing like my old boots.  Heat moulding made this even better.  There were no pressure spots, not even on the ankle bones, and the top edges didn't cut in.

Those narrow Harlick laces killed my fingers and were hard to pull tight and keep tight.  For the first fifteen minutes I had arch cramps until I was able to tighten the laces enough. 
When I stepped on the ice I felt a little strange, and it was clear there was a slight adjustment in blade position compared to before to get used to.  I couldn't spin for a while.  (I was only on the ice half an hour, and I wish I had more time, because I was doing some sit and camel spins by the end.) 
They don't feel too stiff (the triple duo-bond) although I acknowledge they probably hinder bend and pointing toes.  I actually tried undoing a hook at some point in the session, as some people say to do when breaking in boots, but right away I went back to fully laced. 

Unfortunately I had computer and internet issues all evening, so photos must wait.   
 

For your sake, I hope the video was not a deep fake!  Hard to imagine Harlick is still in business; not sure how many skaters can tolerate nearly a 1-1/2 yr delivery time.  Here's hoping they fit out of the box.

Just imagine boots ordered for a growing child. 

- The CPs have a bit more glide than my old Pros - which might just be a function of them being brand new. They're sharpened to the same ROH as my old blades (1/2"), so no difference there.

If you have a micrometer or caliper, you should check the thickness of the CP vs the Pro.  At a constant ROH, you should get less bite/more glide if the the CP is significantly thinner than the Pro.
