Not just for kids! Great for elderly or those with arthritis or even those of us who just hate tying shoes & prefer slip-ons shoes!
Fun colors (plus "normal" black, white & brown too) and plenty of stretchable length allow you to customize any look you can imagine - and in the process also turn lace-up shoes into slip-on shoes that never need to be tied again!
The trick to a simple knot that never comes undone - forever? Opposite knots: cross the base knot in the opposite direction that you normally tie - (meaning which lace goes over and which goes under) before tying your bow knot as usual. (And then if you feel you still need to double knot - be sure to tie this 3rd knot opposite to the bow knot - so that would mean do it the same as the 1st knot.)
The "Double Lace" style - as shown with the red laces - not only looks stylish, but also serves the purpose of locking the elastic laces in place. This allows for the option of wearing the "un-tied" shoe-lace style popular with young people, while also keeping the shoes firmly on the feet.
I will attempt to explain how to do the Double Lace style: Start at the opposite end that you normally would. Put one of each end of the laces down thru the top of the eyelets (at the spot where you would normally tie the bow). Be sure to leave one end of the lace about 1.5 inches longer than the other (as you will need to cross over one time with just one lace at the top end by the toe to get a finished look). Go down the knot end eyelets, cross over underneath and come up at the next set of eyelets, cross over & repeat till you reach the toe end. Being sure the lace lays flat as you go. When you get to the top, cross over with the longer lace and then lace your way back down as normal - but now you should be lacing into the empty spots that were not covered on the way up. At the end you will need to cross over again and pop back up through the eyelets to get a clean finished look. Basically it just takes trial and error or likely there are some videos online demonstrating the technique.
The laces can also be cut in half and a knot tied and hidden - thus using just one lace on two shoes. Two or more colors can be used together or alternately laced on a shoe as well.
All in all a very good deal. I was not compensated in any way for this or any of my reviews to date - so if it has been helpful to you, please click the button. Thank you and have a blessed day!
