The first picture is a before and after of my shoes with laces vs the no tie HOMAR laces -- what a sleek difference!

They were a tiny bit of a stretch to get in (which means they'll be a stretch to get lose and probably won't fly off on me), and they look incredible. I was surprised to find that, even being a petite adult woman, the bottom 5 sizes were almost a bit too big near the end. Would have liked them just slightly tighter. But, for normal sized feet they're probably just right.

They look great and feel great. Definitely a product I bought with a "meh" and will re-buy with great enthusiasm!
