THE ORIGINAL STRETCHLACE | Elastic Shoe Laces | As Seen on Shark Tank | Flat Stretch Shoelaces

I use them in nearly all my athletic shoes - I wear minimal/barefoot/0mm drop type shoes. I use them in my weight lifting shoes and my trail running shoes. They allow for more flexibility - well, yeah - for lacing shoes. I sometimes suffer from top of the foot pain but I also have narrow heels. These allow for more ways to lace up your shoes to relieve that kind of pressure but still get in a good workout or run. I recently got neon green to dress up a pair of boringly colored trail shoes.

I bought the 24 inch white laces. It worked great on my 4 inlet lace holes on a pair of Keds. Ordering another pair for my navy grasshopper sneakers.Love that I can easily slip on my sneakers without unlacing. Great idea. Would recommend.

Love these. They make it so easy to get my shoes on and off, and they keep them snug without being overly tight.

From a function perspective, they work as advertised... at least initially. However, they don't seem to be very sturdy. I'm nervous about how they'll hold up long term. In fact, I'm bringing an extra pair of regular laces on an upcoming trip because I'm so concerned they'll break unexpectedly.Additionally, they are more of an off-white than white which is pretty disappointing.

Changed my life. I put them in my doc martens and now it’s sooooo easy to get them on and off

These are great. I put them in Vans Sk8-His and now they're easy on/off and always comfortable.One note on sizing, you're probably going to want them a good bit shorter than the laces you are replacing. I ordered the same length and they were way longer than I wanted. The ones I ordered for my old skools fit great in the bigger shoes, though. Will definitely buy more for the old skools.

I buy these stretch laces EVERY time I get a new pair of shoes. They are just one of those things that makes every day life a little easier. One of the best benefits of these particular stretchy laces, in my opinion, is that you can just tie them like regular laces. No more gambling on how long they exactly need to be, or fiddling with weird plastic or metal end caps. You can adjust the tension simply by retying them looser or tighter. Stretchy laces not only make it easier to put on shoes, they make them much more comfortable to wear throughout the day as your feet expand or swell from walking, etc. It's also nice that these come in a variety of colors to match your original laces. Once replaced, they are nearly indistinguishable, visibly, from regular laces.

This is just what I was hoping for when I ordered it. I recently got my kindergartener a new pair of shoes. Somehow between the last pair and this pair, he has completely forgotten how to tie shoes. Seriously. There was no convincing him that shoelaces worked the exact same on every single pair of shoes EVER. I was being asked at least half a dozen times a day to tie his shoes for him.When these arrived, the side of the box read "In doubt, or between sizes? Size down." Crap. Baby boy was right on the cusp and I'd ordered the bigger size. However, when I compared the old laces to the new, they were the exact same size. I will say they are pretty long, so you might be better off sizing down as suggested.These new laces work as advertised. It only takes a few minutes of adjusting to get them comfortable for your feet, then tie them and you're done. My only complaint is that they suggest a reef or square knot, and they don't have instructions or even a link to a video on their website. (YouTube to the rescue.) My kindergartener is happier with his independence, and I'm so glad I'm not tying shoes all day long!ETA: Well, these were fun while they lasted (first photo). All four days. Guess we are going back to much more durable regular laces. 🤦‍♀️ETA: The seller/manufacturer of these laces reads reviews! I was contacted via email within 48 hours of my review. In part, it read, "I actually developed these for my 3 sons, so nobody knows better than me what you are going through with your Kindergarten son! We have also tested these out on other children (neighbors, friends, etc.) and we tested them for almost a full year before actually selling them. What I've found is that the fit really does matter, especially with the kiddos because they are very active. If the lace is flopping around they have a tendency to tear and break depending on the level of activity. I see these types of breaks only with kids and only if the fit is too long." So apparently, SIZE DOWN is the name of the game. She sent me not only a set of smaller replacement laces, but two extras (just in case) and a HANDWRITTEN note. Hand. Written. Color me impressed! What great customer service!We put the size small laces into my son's shoes, and the "bunny ears" were much more compact, even before double knotting. (See second photo.) I really wish I could say that these solved the problem, but we had another break on day 3. I really, really, really wanted these to work. I love the aesthetic (most elastic laces are ugly), and I really love the friendliness of the company. Unfortunately, with a super active 6YO who refuses to stop and retie his shoes when they come undone (and they do), these just did not last. I think this is a great product, and I'm sure it would work fine for my older, more careful kids, but this just didn't work for the baby.
