I absolutely LOVE these Xpand no-tie shoelaces! They r better than I had hoped.

I didn't even know that they had no-tie shoelaces existed, bc I have never seen them at my local sporting good store sneaker department. But a couple weeks back I was browsing the web when I stumbled on an article that mentioned no-tie shoelaces. My interest was especially piqued bc Im currently going three days a week for physical therapy on my knee, and I have to take off and put on my sneakers multiple times during every exercise session. It was kind of nuisance w regular shoelaces, so I checked out my options on Amazon.

I looked at a number of shoelaces including the No-lock laces, but after reading how the Xpand no-tie shoelaces worked, and the positive customer reviews, plus watching the VIDEO from the manufacturer that explains exactly how the no-ties function (so definitely watch the video; its up top by the other photos of the shoelaces!).

Moreover,  the fact that these shoelaces come in amazing 44 different colors was what also sold me, bc my workout sneakers are red Nikes and I thought matching them up w the right color shoelace might be a challenge. I need not have worried bc the manufacturer offers two red showlaces, one w a reflective pattern sewn into the laces, which looked cool, so much so that I definitely like the Xpand laces better than shoelaces that came w my sneakers. (See attached photo of my sneakers w the reflective red no-tie showlaces on them.)

The showlaces come w an installation manual; however, I simply watched the manufacturer video again to best understand how to properly anchor the showlaces to the sneaker. You need to decide whether u want the anchors that hold the showlaces in place to be visible on the outside or in stealth mode and hidden on the inside of the sneakers. I opted for hidding the anchors just inside the sneaker bc I did not plan on having to adjust the length of the showlaces once I was done; however, opting for the anchors on the outside allows for to u to adjust the length of the showlaces, such as if u want to wear the laces tighter in your sneaker for whatever reason.

It did not take me long to figure out the right length that allowed me to slide into my sneakers but still have a firm hold on my feet, enough that I could jog w them w no movement of my feet inside the sneaker. The manufacturer recommends that u leave the shoelaces a little longer the first day u wear your sneakers to make sure u have the best fit.

I most decidably will be purchasing more of these Xpand no-tie shoelaces for another pair of sneakers and a pair of regular shoes bc the laces come in black. I also intend on introducing these no-ties to family and friends who I have doubt will be interested.

In closing, I highly recommend these Xpand no-tie shoelaces. With so many different color laces from which to choose and at a price point of less than ten dollars, it is a bargain for the ultimate convenience and comfort that these no-tie showlaces offer the wearer. U will not be disappointed w this purchase. I promise!
