INMAKERNo Tie Shoelaces, Pack of 2, Elastic Shoe Laces for Kids and Adults

I got these to replace the laces in my converse shoes. The instillation is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy... in fact, it’s rather tedious. Once I got them all situated, I wore them for a couple of days and found that these wouldn’t work for me at all.They pressed up against the top of my foot so badly that they left deep indentations and some light bruising.Cool idea. Fun design. Poor follow through.If the t-shaped stops weren’t so thick, this might be more comfortable. But I can also see why they need to be the way they are so they can be sturdy enough not to break.Perhaps these would work better in my running shoes or shoes with a thicker padding. But these did not work well for the shoes I got them for... converse are thin. I wouldn’t recommend these for converse or shoes of that likeness.

I was skeptical as some of the reviews said these snapped right away. My 10-year-old son breaks everything. I mean everything. He has hand motor skill issues and despite years of trying, just cannot master tying his shoes. We’ve been buying Velcro closure sneakers but now that he is bigger they are harder to find and sometimes you just want the look of laces. I bought these and put them on. It took me a few tries to figure out which ones to use for the bottom and top but worked it out. At first, he hated them. It was really hard for him to get his shoes on. He needed a shoe horn and we had a few morning battles before school. After the third day, he no longer needed the shoe horn and now he can slip them on and off at will but they never fall off or seem loose. He’s been using them for 2 months now and so far so good. I can’t say how long they will last but I am happy with them for him. I’m thinking of buying some for my own summer sneakers.

These work great for my vans. The only problem I had with them is that most of the laces were too long. As you can see in the image, the longer ones shown are not very useful. There aren't many shoes with laces that wide. If they came with more of the middle to smaller length laces, this would be perfect. (I wear US shoe size 8 for reference)

I had hip surgery and was not able to reach my feet to tie my sneakers so I would leave my laces loose so I could slip on my shoes. Having loose shoes is not ideal when your leg strength and coordination is not very good. Installation of took about 2 minutes per shoe and I didn't experience any issues that some of the negative reviews mention. You need to do a combination push/pull to get them through the eyelet - put one side of the catch through the eyelet and pull on that while also pushing from the other side of the eyelet. A few seconds per hole is all it took. Now my shoes are easy to get on and snug enough not to slip around or fall off. Would definitely buy again.

I like these. I first tried them on a pair of work sneakers, with limited success because the fabric lace holes wouldn't hold the silicone laces securely. Then I tried them with a pair of low cut boots. The metal eyelets hold the silicone laces very tightly and are difficult to remove once installed.I found that, on my feet, the top laces actually are the widest part and the bottom row the narrowest, so I had to rearrange the laces on the boot to get the correct fit. They should instruct you to measure the distance between opposing eyelets at each row when the shoe is on your foot, then select the best fitting lace.Anyway, once all that is done, the shoe fits nicely and is snug enough I may get a shoe horn to make putting them on easier.

I originally bought some for my 7 year old, because for some reason no matter who ties a child’s shoe, it will come untied 900x a day and I felt bad for his gym teacher. Then I got some for myself! And I LOVE them!

I had some no-toe elastic laces on my 4 yr olds shoes. They were too tight, no matter how I adjusted them. You can see them in the pic on this review on the black shoes. I tried these silicon laces to see if they would be more comfy on his feet and they are perfect. Be patient putting them on. It takes a few mins but they stay in place. These are a great buy!

SO these bands don't stay in the eyelets, and have such a severe range of lengths that don't really match up with the usual spaces between eyelets on a shoe. They pop out of place when I pull on or off the shoe, and then I have to fuss with wedging them back in place. They're not saving time or solving problems. They're scattered all over the city from the dump to under my bed. Don't bother with this garbage - just buy long elastic laces that are one piece per shoe.
