I have replaced all my athletic shoe laces with these.  Each has a different color.

I prefer the reflective laces (which would reflect lights at night/dusk/pre-dawn) -- but they were not available in red.

SO nice not to have to tie laces -- and not to have to double-knot laces that constantly untie by themselves.  Also, when my feet swell while walking or exercising, the stretch laces give.

Try them!
