Broke the lace on the new versions. Anyone ever replace them? Seems really hard to do

I have replaced the laces on previous versions. Use a curved yarn/tapestry needle to push the lace through. Then use forceps to grab the lace.

Well, if the stock laces break easily and don't stayed tied, at least they are super hard to replace...

I had a friend who is a seamstress with small hands do it for me, it sounded like a battle.

I replaced the laces proactively when one started to fray. My plan was to use a larger diameter lace that would be much easier to tie with gloves, but it turned out that the eyelets are so small that I had to use a lace similar in diameter to the original, but the one I finally ended up with is much grippier and holds a knot much better.

What laces did you use?

Sorry, I don't know, my seamstress picked them up.

I would just advise spending time finding a good pair of laces in you are going to go through the pain in the ass of replacing them. Wish I could be more helpful.
