I got some of these originally for my son in pre-k since the teachers don't like to tie the kids' shoes, and I can't blame them. they worked so good I said, "why am i still trying shoes when I can be slipping them on instead!?" So I ordered some for me and the mrs. The keep shoes tight and transform lace up shoes into slip ons. I even run with them and they stay on but come off easy at the end of the day. Plus the Feet People are just a great bunch of people from what i can tell and they get your stuff out to you quick, and cost effectively. I ordered 3 pairs on a friday afternoon and they were in my mailbox on monday!

{update 1 month later} I am using these on a pair of converse chuck taylor so there are a lot of eye lets. I've had to skip a few holes to make the laces go to the top. usually these shoes have extra long laces because of the length of the shoe so that's not a con for these laces. Also since I've had them stretched out trying to get them into all these eyelets they've lost some elasticity, again that's just due to the length of the lacing area of this particular brand of shoes. So I've been forced to do a loose tie but that has fixed the problem and they are still totally slip on-able. really like having them and the ends are still curly so they have that cool look. Even though this isn't a prime eligible item but the feet people do an excellent job of getting their products out quick.
