RJ-SportTieless Elastic Shoe Laces - Heavy Duty No Tie Shoelaces for Kids and Adult with Strong Lock and Speed Shoestrings

Es la segunda ocasión que compro estas agujetas elásticas para dos pares de botas. Son fáciles de poner y de usar, y los colores combinan muy bien con mi calzado. Muy recomendables.

I am getting older and less agile and wanted to get rid of laces that kept coming undone. These seemed like a good idea - easy to put in although my arthritic fingers struggled a bit with the two clasps so I had to resort to using a pair of pliers to hold them open to thread the laces and snap the other two clasps firmly shut. Very pleased with the result - having read the reviews I left a bit more lace until I had worn my trainers a couple of times and then I can adjust them if necessary.

So far, I have bought three pair of these, because the first pair was so good I couldn't help myself.Now I know that we all don't need ANOTHER review, but again, I couldn't help myself! :)I have been looking at these for awhile now, and it was only the other day that I decided to try them, I'm glad that I did. Not only did these work, they work very well.The FIRST PAIR (white) was for a brand new pair of Adidas walking shoes, they felt O.K., but with these, it made them REALLY comfortable! I walked on my treadmill and it made quite the difference. To say I was impressed, well, I was.I'd rate the comfort in these shoes as a 6 out of 10, (with 10 being best) but, it's the shoe, not the laces, I think, I'll get back to you on that if I find something different.The SECOND PAIR I bought was for an older pair of "tennis shoes" (that's what we call call them in Texas) that were really still very nice, even though they are probably around 15 years old. I rarely wear them, only to run out real fast, or something, the reason was that I bought them a size too small. I wear a 9-1/2 and these were a size 9...Anyway, they kind of hurt my feet if I wore them too long, hence why I rarely wear them, so after I put on my new GREY color shoe laces!(A guy in a Review above me complained because there were no grey colored ones, well, they do have them)These laces made such a HUGE difference that it was at least a 50 increase in comfort, I can only guess that since they were slightly too small, these stretch laces allowed my foot to expand horizontally, hence my newfound comfort. I just walked 30 minutes on my treadmill and they were perfect! I now not only have a comfortable shoes, I actually gained a new pair of shoes! :)I would rate these a 9 out of 10, I'd give them a 10 but I don't have enough use to really rate them. I love 'em though!So, today my THIRD PAIR arrived, they are for my hiking boots (that I never hike in), I just wear them everywhere.While the laces were very comfortable, this pair did not make me scream with joy, I liked it, a lot, but it was not a huge difference.I'd rate these at a 8 out of 10, again, I am unsure of the longevity, but my initial trial is that these are going to be good.The GOOD THING though is, I can slip on, and off, ALL of my shoes with ease, and that to me is a really good thing.I read a lot of complaints about how the snap closure doesn't work well, I found that to not be true in my case. You need to understand how they work, then you can make them work. You need to make sure that the lace is nowhere in the way of the snap, if it is, it won't close properly.Also, if you screw up, and I did, you can undo the snap by using a ball-point pen or something semi-pointed that is not sharp that you can poke into the end of it, that releases it. You can then try snapping them again, it ought to work fine. It makes an audible CLICK! when snapped correctly.For the people that lose them, I would almost bet that they never had them snapped correctly in the first place.Makes sure that you do your part correctly because these seem to be made very well and I can sure see how someone that isn't good at these things could have trouble. I had a little trouble on my first one, so I can relate.One more thing. I have also read Reviews where people say they they BROKE while tying them. Broke? Tying them? You don't need to tie them, you rarely need to pull on them if you install them correctly.These are designed to be a looser fit than a regular shoelace, and, they DO NOT need tying, not even a little bit. Look at the pictures, that will show you what you need to make yours look like.The way I have mine done there will be no way that I can ever break my laces, there are no knots, not tangles, no nothing to make it ever snap or break. If you adjust yours quite a bit I can see that wear can happen, but that would take a long while, I would think.Just something to think about. :)I know this is long, probably no one will ever read it, but In felt I needed to say how well these are! :)I'll be back for a report on how well they did after some time, just to make sure that I'm not giving credit if they are not what I said they were..

These should last longer than the rubber fasteners I replaced. Easy to install and look great!

These work well. Install was simple. I like the fact that there is some adjustability after install with the main button instead of individual stretch points on each lace like some attachments.Just installed them so I'll have to see how they withstand the test of time.
