THE ORIGINAL STRETCHLACEElastic Shoe Laces | As Seen on Shark Tank | Flat Stretch Shoelaces

I'm an old heavy guy, which means that during each day my feet swell and ...umm... unswell. My podiatrist recommended elastic shoelaces so that when the feet swell, the elastic would also expand and keep the feet from being painfully confined in too-tight shoes. I didn't want no-tie, slip-on action with my shoes. I want to be able to tie them, but just have elastic laces.These laces fill that bill perfectly. They take a little getting used to. At first, I wanted to pull them tight, but they are SO elastic that you can keep pulling and pulling and they get tighter and tighter. Don't do that; it defeats the purpose. Just tie them lightly yet securely and they'll easily expand when appropriate, yet keep the shoes on securely when the feet are not swollen. They're really kind of fun.Word of caution: They didn't have the same exact length of shoelace as my regular laces, so I bought elastic laces a few inches longer--the nearest to the original size. They are REALLY long. They are going to stretch easily, so a few inches shorter really works well. My second pair was shorter, and they worked wonderfully.The only open concern I have is how long they'll last. Of course, that will take a long time to find out.I enjoy using these fun elastic shoelaces.

Saw this on Shark Tank and decided to give them a try. They work great !!!

I've been buying the round cord stretchy laces for a long time and love them. But, I had a new pair of shoes that I wanted to look a bit more normal with conventional laces, but without having to tie them. So, there's that and these shoes were cream colored and I couldn't find my normal stretchy laces in that color.These are basically indistinguishable from normal laces visually, but they are very stretchy. The first consideration is that you really need to buy these in the length you need because, unlike the stretch cord version, you don't want to be cutting these to length. You want the pre-fab ends on these to look normal. This means taking your laces off your shoe and measureing them before you buy. Personally, I ordered a couple inches shorter than the conventional lace to account for the built in stretch I load up the shoes with. My originals were 48 and I ordered 45. It worked out great.Two things that make it a little complicated over the normal strech cord. First, since they're flat laces and we're going for a look, you have to install these so the laces lie flat. That's not particularly hard, but you didn't even have to bother with the cord laces. Also, since they are so stretchy, you have to do a bit of back and forth with them through the eyelets to get them to turn over when you're correcting them. Second, since they are stretchy, tying them is slightly more of a pain than normal laces. They're more slippery when they're stretched and that's what tying does.All in all, the look is exactly what I was going for and I still get the convenience of slip on/off shoes. The cream color totally matched my "oatmeal" colored shoes, so yay for that.So far so good!

I bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them! Makes getting his shoes on and off so much easier.

Purchased for sneakers for my husband. He loves them and perfect size. Quality great and price was great.

Makes getting my shoes on so much quicker and my shoes are much more comfortable!

This is just what I was hoping for when I ordered it. I recently got my kindergartener a new pair of shoes. Somehow between the last pair and this pair, he has completely forgotten how to tie shoes. Seriously. There was no convincing him that shoelaces worked the exact same on every single pair of shoes EVER. I was being asked at least half a dozen times a day to tie his shoes for him.When these arrived, the side of the box read "In doubt, or between sizes? Size down." Crap. Baby boy was right on the cusp and I'd ordered the bigger size. However, when I compared the old laces to the new, they were the exact same size. I will say they are pretty long, so you might be better off sizing down as suggested.These new laces work as advertised. It only takes a few minutes of adjusting to get them comfortable for your feet, then tie them and you're done. My only complaint is that they suggest a reef or square knot, and they don't have instructions or even a link to a video on their website. (YouTube to the rescue.) My kindergartener is happier with his independence, and I'm so glad I'm not tying shoes all day long!ETA: Well, these were fun while they lasted (first photo). All four days. Guess we are going back to much more durable regular laces. 🤦‍♀️ETA: The seller/manufacturer of these laces reads reviews! I was contacted via email within 48 hours of my review. In part, it read, "I actually developed these for my 3 sons, so nobody knows better than me what you are going through with your Kindergarten son! We have also tested these out on other children (neighbors, friends, etc.) and we tested them for almost a full year before actually selling them. What I've found is that the fit really does matter, especially with the kiddos because they are very active. If the lace is flopping around they have a tendency to tear and break depending on the level of activity. I see these types of breaks only with kids and only if the fit is too long." So apparently, SIZE DOWN is the name of the game. She sent me not only a set of smaller replacement laces, but two extras (just in case) and a HANDWRITTEN note. Hand. Written. Color me impressed! What great customer service!We put the size small laces into my son's shoes, and the "bunny ears" were much more compact, even before double knotting. (See second photo.) I really wish I could say that these solved the problem, but we had another break on day 3. I really, really, really wanted these to work. I love the aesthetic (most elastic laces are ugly), and I really love the friendliness of the company. Unfortunately, with a super active 6YO who refuses to stop and retie his shoes when they come undone (and they do), these just did not last. I think this is a great product, and I'm sure it would work fine for my older, more careful kids, but this just didn't work for the baby.

These are AMAZING! I got them in a shorter length so I could use with my high top converse & knot the strings instead of actually tying them. The stretch makes it very easy to slip the shoe on & off without making the shoe look "cheap" with ratty laces. Definitely buying like 10 more to use with all my shoes!

Los compré los de 101cm para unos converse de botín y les quedaron perfectos. Igual y unos más largos quedan mejor, pero si alcanzan. Los hace mucho más fácil de poner, ya no tengo que andar batallando tanto. Los compré originalmente para un viaje y no quería batallar en los aeropuertos al quitar y poner pero ahora quiero comprar más para mis demás converse.

I used to spend at lease 5 mins fighting to put on my Nike Blazers (or take them off), but with these it’s literally like butter and the shoe still look great! Don’t even need to undo the knot to put on or take off.

These are amazing, look just like real laces!Game changer for my son who has trouble tying laces

deveriam ter mais 20 cm, seriam perfeitos

Helpful for shoes to be easier to put on without having to tie laces.
