I got these for my son who's 6 yrs old. He has to wear dress shoes to school and the laces are so thick and short, that double knotting them to prevent them coming untied wasn't working. I've tried a couple different options and these have been the best by far! The holes in his shoes are small, so it took some yanking to get them in, but then we've never had a problem with them coming out! And they are textured, so they don't look funny at all. Nobody has ever said a word about them, they just look like regular laces.I bought these for my non sport shoes, and they are ok since I'm not playing, training, running, etc.. They were hard to get through the holes in my shoe, but a chopstick worked great. I used the bands from the smallest on the bottom and worked my way up, but they didn't line up great with the tongue flap slide through pocket and now looks like its pulling up. Also they are slightly looser than i would like, but again I'm not running around in these. Overall I would but again. They do save me from leaning over and killing my back tying a shoe.
I used these with Rocket Dog's "Jazzin" sneaker and they are excellent. I wear a women's 6.5 and used all but 3 "laces" on each shoe. Place one whole side (all of the holes top to bottom) first, and then start to secure the other side (beginning with the bottom). Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. I would only recommend these for casual wear, not for endurance or rigorous activity. I am a long distance runner and I don't see these working well with running shoes (for those I use Lock Laces). But for casual wear, these silicone laces are perfect!These are the best! I was looking for a solution for lace-up shoes and kids who can't tie them on their own. Enter: Homeout No Tie Shoelaces! I ordered a white set for my son's Converse shoes and a black set for a pair of his boots and they work great! They can be a bit tricky to "install," especially if the shoe lace "holes" are small, but after that, they are stretchy enough to get his feet into and tight enough to keep his shoes on comfortably. I am no longer afraid of buying lace-up shoes for my kids .
The shoelaces work great and are a better alternative to lock laces in my opinion. Lock laces have a good piece of the lace that protrudes out above the lock, which is difficult to tug away. These laces do not require any tying and look clean. They have silicone ends that do into the holes, and stay in place very well. The material is flexible, which makes putting on the shoes easy and quick.not a fan. They didn't fit through the holes on my running shoes without a pair of long nose pliers to pull them through, but once I got them in, they were ok but they were a little loose so I tried to get the top one out to put a shorter one on and I had to cut it. It' wouldn't go back through the hole. It only took about an hour to put them on the shoes... I would only recommend these if you have large holes for your shoes strings.
Love them. I had to enlarge my shoelace holes on my shoes by inserting a pen-shape object in each hole. But once I did that, it was easy to install the No Tie Shoelaces. Also I used only the five largest shoelace sizes and left my two tip-top holes on each shoe empty. Works great.My 6 year old knows how to tie his shoes, he just doesn't so instead of fighting him on it with his school shoes I replaced the laces with these. No Tie Shoelaces Wholesale has helped me keep my sanity from asking him every 5 minutes to tie his shoes. His teacher are equally glad that he is not tripping over untied laces anymore. I wouldn't recommend these for sports type shoes like shoes intended for running, soccer, or other sports. He has them on his every day recess playing new balance shoes and they work perfectly.
Insanely comprehensive :)
