I bought these for my mother for her 87th birthday thinking she would fuss about the pink shoelaces but they were navy sketchers like she wanted.  And I  was going to tell her she could always replace them with navy shoelaces.  Imagine my surprise when she absolutely loved them plus she told me there was an extra pair of navy shoelaces in the box too if she had wanted to change them!!  She said they are like walking on pillows.
