I want to sing of my love for these laces from the top of a mountain. I own quite a few pairs of high-top sneakers that would take, on average, 5 minutes or longer to put on, with unlacing and loosening and shoving a foot in. These have completely changed that. Once near-impossible to wear high tops are slipped on with little more need than a finger hooked into the back of the shoe to guide them on. If you own Vans Sk8-Hi's, get these. you won't regret it.
