Love these Xpand laces. I purchased 4 colors for 4 different pairs of shoes because I like them that much.
Someones review stated that these are great for lazy people. Its not about being lazy, its the look and ease of putting on and taking off.
I love my high top Vans, Converse and my Reebok CrossFit sneakers but I do not like trying to get my foot into the high tops, total pain in the butt and laces, I don't like the look of the bunny ear things. That take away from the look of the shoes. These laces fix all of my issues with looks and ease.
I have noticed in photos that people are connecting the clasp on the outside. Dont do that unless you need to have the extra tightening.
