Xpand No Tie Elastic Shoe Laces for Adults & Kids - Easy Slip on Shoelaces

Repeat customer. These strike the right balance between ease of putting on my shoes and maintaining a sure fit.

These are so great. Not only is it a time saver to not have to tie my shoes, but I almost always have pressure across the bridge of my foot and in my pinky toes when wearing laced shoes. These laces, while very secure, provide enough give on top of the foot to prevent strain. I was also able to do a heel locking lace pattern with them and that’s working beautifully even with the elastic! Took this pair of shoes from something I was unwillingly breaking in to a pair that I can’t stop wearing!! Planning on converting all of my laced shoes moving forward.

Overall I am satisfied so far. I paired these with some new trail shoes and have only gone for a couple runs on both. I am finding it slightly difficult to find a balance between the tightness of each shoe (again, maybe related to breaking the new shoes in as much as breaking in the laces). I am not in love with the locking mechanism as it is an open enclosure. I can forsee that causing problems on long trail runs. Probably just a personal preference, and the lock has not actually failed, but I did end up buying a closed 3rd party lock button system. The laces are secure but allow for movement and flexibility. Good price point. As easy to install as most standard shoelaces. Would consider again!

I have Cerebral Palsy and these have made life so much easier. They are easy to install, and their flexibility allow you to fit the shoe to each foot easily and comfortably. Their elasticity is fantastic, but always keep in mind the shoe itself is the biggest influence on how easy the it will go on after installation. If the shoe construction is rigid, these laces will not address the challenges of putting them shoes on. It will be easier, but not easy.

Works great

It took a little bit to get the laces adjusted to where they were comfortable but once they were right, it was great to be able to slip my shoes on quickly. They stayed exactly as I had positioned them, the anchor and cap holding everything really well…until one of the laces broke. It didn’t even last a month, and I was not wearing the shoes on a daily basis. I don’t know what caused the failure as I checked the eyelet of my shoe for a sharp spot and did not find one. The laces were not overly tight, and it broke where there was not a lot of tension on it, so for now I’ll give this product the benefit of the doubt and purchase another pair because of how much I like the concept and how it makes putting my shoes on so quick.

excelente producto y calidad mejor de lo que imagine, pienso comprar otro

Tolle Erfindung, keine Schuhe mehr zubinden

This worked well with my Nike trail shoes. No issue whatsover.

Came very quickly in the mail, easy to set up even for an old bastard like me

When I was a kid, I hated tying my shoes. As an adult, I still do. Shoe technology has advanced so far, and yet here we are still tying delicate little bowties to keep our shoes from flying off like it's the middle ages! Where are the self tying shoes that Back to the Future 2 promised? In today's busy world, shoe laces are nothing but a hindrance. Modern problems require modern solutions. Enter the Xpand elastic shoelace. Sleek. Stylish. Comfortable. And lightning fast! No more delicate bowties. Simply pull the laces, slide them into the slot, and let go. It's just that shrimple. A shoelace for the man of tomorrow, today! On a more serious note, I have been using Xpand laces for over three years. They are my go-to shoelace. Every time I get new shoes or boots, I buy some Xpands to go with em. The elasticity keeps em snug on my feet while the stretchiness keeps my feet from feeling restrained the way tight shoelaces usually feel. It also makes putting them on and removing them a breeze, essentially turning your shoes into slip-ons. And the adjustability allows you to wear thicker socks on occasion and still enjoy the same level of comfort. The plastic latch that the laces slot into is incredible solid. Just be sure to really yank the laces and pull them into the slot as far as they will go for a super secure tie that will never let you down. I prefer these round laces over Xpand's flat laces because here the lace ends rest on top of your shoe. While it's not a 100% seamless look, it's way more comfortable than tucking them inside the the top eyelet like you do with their flat laces and adjusting them is far more simpler. Installation is a little more complicated than regular laces. I recommend wearing your shoe and adjusting the tightness before trimming the lace ends, and leave the ends long enough that you can tuck them underneath one of the further lace straps with lace to spare, as the pull tab that the ends install into will take up a chunk of those ends. Something to note is that up until less than a year ago, the plastic pull tabs at the end of the lace were prone to busting open if they didn't get a good grip on the lace ends when you install them. But recently Xpand has been using a new pull tab design that clamps down even tighter onto the lace ends for a super secure grip. I have yet to have the new pull tabs become even a little bit loose after installing them. And even if the tabs or the latch gets loose, it'll still be 100 times less often than your shoelaces coming undone. Overall I highly recommend Xpand laces. They're comfy, secure, and efficient. Just what a shoelace aught to be. Buy them, your future self will thank you.

Happy
