I ordered this upon inspecting reviews and getting the feel for fit for men who ordered these for 4 outlets. Many said the 45 would fit, but when I received them they are too long for 4. I tried putting them into my 4 outlet oxfords and when tying my bunny ears I could tie two of them! If you're thing for something smaller, I would look elsewhere. For a boot or shoe with more than 4 outlets, these seem great and look like they hold up well. A pretty good deal for a handful of shoelaces as well!
