No-Tie Shoe Laces?

While in Illinois last month, my daughter gave me these No-Tie Shoe Laces. She said they were supposedly kids' size but that they fit well on her shoes.


I made the mistake of using the shortest size at the bottom first which didn't feel right. It hurt to take the silicon plug ends out through the little holes.

Art took pity on me and redid the laces using the wider size silicon ties at the top of the card.


OK, so far so good.

I'll have to wear them a while to see just how much I like them. Meanwhile I'm keeping my regular laces, just in case.

POSTSCRIPT:

OK, it's been a while now and I used it several times. The first couple of times, it felt too tight on one side, but it must have stretched out a bit because it's now quite comfortable. I like it. I like it.

  1. Haven't seen those to replace regular ties. How do they work?

  2. I must live in a cave, I've never even heard of them! But they look pretty cool, just watched a video about them--they're elastic & you just pop each row in separately. Now I want them :)

  7. My house shoes (old converted tennies) have curled elastic laces that have started to lose their stretch. I will have to look for these when shopping is allowed again.

  8. Those laces mean you just slip on the shoes? That would save time. I am always wearing 'mules' out in the yard and then kicking them off when I come back.

  9. I'm going to try those. I am always stuffing my feet into my sneakers without untying the laces. Don't think it's great for my shoes.

  12. And I've never tried them for fear they would stretch and I need tight, supportive laces.

  13. Wow----I've never seen nor heard of that..... I wonder if Kids these days will ever even learn to tie shoe-laces..... Oh the things that have changed.....

    I love your shoes. I would never know they were the kind of laces you don't need to worry about lacing!!!!!!! Awesome...

    Stay safe and healthy.
    Hugs,

  16. Interesting. So, they're individual "clippies", like hair clips? I have some that were in my Propet brand tennies, then I brought the elastic shoelaces which has a toggle to adjust once you've got them in the shoes. Great for my nursing tennies. Linda in Kansas
