Xpand Round Lacing. Elastic No Tie Shoelaces - Quick Release Tension Control - One Size Fits All Adult and Kids Shoes

I used to buy slip in shoes until I bought these laces. They are easy to use and allows me to purchase the shoes I enjoy wearing while having the convenience of a slip on shoe.

Work great and very durable. I put them on all my hiking boots

Overall I am satisfied so far. I paired these with some new trail shoes and have only gone for a couple runs on both. I am finding it slightly difficult to find a balance between the tightness of each shoe (again, maybe related to breaking the new shoes in as much as breaking in the laces). I am not in love with the locking mechanism as it is an open enclosure. I can forsee that causing problems on long trail runs. Probably just a personal preference, and the lock has not actually failed, but I did end up buying a closed 3rd party lock button system. The laces are secure but allow for movement and flexibility. Good price point. As easy to install as most standard shoelaces. Would consider again!

Great and look good

Great product.

It took a little bit to get the laces adjusted to where they were comfortable but once they were right, it was great to be able to slip my shoes on quickly. They stayed exactly as I had positioned them, the anchor and cap holding everything really well…until one of the laces broke. It didn’t even last a month, and I was not wearing the shoes on a daily basis. I don’t know what caused the failure as I checked the eyelet of my shoe for a sharp spot and did not find one. The laces were not overly tight, and it broke where there was not a lot of tension on it, so for now I’ll give this product the benefit of the doubt and purchase another pair because of how much I like the concept and how it makes putting my shoes on so quick.

Before this on some of my shoes I use Lock Laces, which are a good idea and seem like a good product still, but the locking part seems to protrude out more which means that the bottom of my pants don't as easily wrap around the shoe. This Xpand lock design doesn't come out as much but rather sits more flush on the shoe tongue. Also if I recall they claim that it's stronger locking. From what I can tell so far it seems to be a better design. Either way you go, these no tie systems seem good, for my needs at least, especially if you wear some kind of shoe around the house or for whatever reason have to frequently put your shoes on and off. Also, not sure if the elasticity of the laces help a bit with wearing comfort.

I bought these for my boots. It's winter time, so I can't wear my slip-on shoes anymore. A few things: Don't expect to use these all the way laced to the top for boots. You can, but it's difficult to get into you may as well use normal laces. I found lacing these up to the neck is about as far as you'll want to go. You can slip in and out of your boots and they'll stay on your feet fine. If people haven't worn laceless shoes before, most are incredibly comfortable and feel a little bit loose at the same time. These laces in boots feel the same way. I would also suggest you don't immediately cut them to length. Tuck the excess in and wear them for a few days trying out different configurations. I prefer up to the neck of the boot, and I've had them like this for a month or two now and it's fantastic. SO COMFORTABLE.
