Biggest piece of crappola I’ve ever bought on Amazon. Run for your life!!!
These are very hard to put in the he shoes. I mean it’s crazy hard , I read other reviews that said it was hard, but I thought “really how hard can it be?” I’ll tell you how hard! Crazy, freaking, cuss like an angry trucker sailor hard. It would be like 5 million times easier if the ends were stiff , but there not so they totally suck rocks. Once we got them in our sons shoes(my husband & I had to switch off back & forth trying to install them so we wouldn’t loose are frigging minds), they worked great for a couple of weeks. Then horror of horrors a couple broke. But after all the work that went into them, we let him wear them for a bit, not super effective, but like I said after all the blood, sweat & tears that went into it, we couldn’t let it go. So pretty much straight up crap!!!! Don’t buy them, take my word for it. I didn’t listen to the other reviews & I am barely alive to tell about it.

Lace-up shoes become easy slip-ons; no loops to trip over
This is my second time buying/using silicon no-tie laces (to replace the traditional laces that came with my shoes.)The first pair I tried (and generally liked well enough) was made by a competitor (rhymes with Nicky's) -- a similar concept but they have a "loop" at one end of each piece that snaps over a little "hook/button" to secure them. I liked those fine, really -- I LOVED converting my lace-up tennis shoes into easy "slip-ons"! But (having US-12 feet) they didn't last terribly long for me, and one by one they started breaking after about 5 months of frequent/near daily wear. (They also were very easy to accidentally "unhook" when I'd cross my feet at my ankles.) When enough of them wore out so that I needed to consider a replacement, I found this brand's product as an alternative and decided to try it.I haven't quite made it to 5 months with these yet (to test longevity of this brand) but I do like this product more already, vs. the first product I'd used, for several reasons:1. At a glance these look more like you have regular laces in your shoes -- they even have a subtle "fabric-like" texture on their flat surface, like a real lace would. And you don't see the "button/hook" in the center of each silicon lace like my earlier product. These give a slightly "cleaner", less-cluttered appearance as a result.2. These can't accidentally "unhook" by resting one foot on top of the other/crossed your feet at the ankles.3. These come as a set of graduated sizes -- make perfect sense for tennis shoes/sneakers, where the spacing between eyelet holes gets wider quickly as you move up the shoe -- the competitor's product was entirely same-length pieces, regardless of which pair of eyelet holes you were lacing -- having graduated lengths in this product I feel contributes to a better fit, AND I think, less likely to have over-stretching (by using a longer piece in the upper, wider eyelet holes) hopefully less breaking. Additionally, because I can use the shorter-length ones nearer my toes, the overall fit of my shoe is now a little more snug (not at all over-tight, however) than the competitor's result.(Right now, I have this product entirely lacing my left shoe, and the competitor's product entirely lacing my right shoe, so it is easy to compare fit and feel.)I will happily buy these again (for my other pairs of tennis shoes) once I pass the 5-month mark with no breakage, to confirm whether they last any longer for me. vs. the first product.My only caveat/warning is that they required some really focused work to get them INTO the tennis shoes' eyelet holes -- I had to use a tapered, flat-tipped chopstick to help force them through the tight eyelet holes of my shoes. Took about 10 minutes to get both shoes outfitted with these, but I love the result!

Made my comfortable sneakers even more comfortable
I'm not crazy about sneakers that tie with standard laces, and prefer Velcro fasteners on my sneakers. However, Costco had a great price on Fila sneakers, and I already had a pair of Fila's from Costco that were comfortable and long-wearing. Once I started wearing the new Fila sneakers, I liked the fit and comfort, but the laces always came untied and were a bother. I got a set of these Homar elastic laces and gave them a try -- and I love them! They made my Fila sneakers more comfortable and easier to get in and out of.The first shoe I laced up with the Homar stretchy laces, I forgot to thread one of the laces through the loop on the tongue. Ooops! You really need to do that to get the most out of the laces, as that keeps the tongue from sliding down to your toes when you slip the sneaker on. I tried to get the stretchy lace out of the shoe's eyelet using my fingers, but I could not get it out. I pinched and pulled and thought I might break it, but I could not get the lace out. Fortunately, I have a pair of extremely pointy needle-nose pliers, so I used those to push the Homar stretchy lace out of the eyelet so that I could thread it through the loop on the tongue. Mission accomplished, and the laces are now the way they should be.My Fila sneakers are walking shoes, and the Homar laces are perfect for them. It is so-o-o-o comfortable to have the gentle give of the laces when I walk. However, these stretchy laces are not as solid-feeling as standard shoelaces, so my Fila sneakers are a bit looser on my feet. It's probably okay for jogging with the Homar laces, but playing a sport where you have to plant your foot and change direction quickly (tennis, basketball, etc.) will cause the shoe to slip. Standard laces would be better there. However, for around the house, working in the yard, going for a walk and all-around general comfort, these Homar laces are excellent. And they look good, too.Finally, getting in and out of these Fila sneakers is much easier with the Homar laces. Slipping off the shoes is just like a pair of loafers -- they pop right off. Putting the sneakers on takes a hand to help slip them on, but it's a one-handed task and much easier than dealing with laces.I like the fit, feel and look -- at a casual glance, they look just like shoelaces. And they never come unlaced! I recommend these Homar stretchy shoelaces.

A very small price for a very large reward if your child is differently-abled.
My son is a teenager with autism, and he has struggled his entire life with shoelaces. I decided to give these a try after seeing similar brands advertised on facebook. They were a HUGE hit! He wears adult shoes now, and they were very easy to install in his Nike Air sneakers. It was extremely important that I find something like this, as now that he is in high school changing out for PE and having proper athletic clothing and shoes is mandatory. Now that he wears mens shoes, we were really struggling to find a lace-free athletic shoe. This completely solved our problem and gave my son so much confidence! Not to mention his growing feet really needed the proper support from better shoes, and these gave us that gift. Innovative and life-changing sound like spin words, but for us they are legitimate truths.

Addio stringhe! Contro il logorio della vita moderna!
Se anche tu pensi che allacciarsi le scarpe sia da sfigati.Se anche tu ti cacci su le scarpe spingendo peggio di una partoriente pur di non slacciarle.Se anche tu non puoi fare a meno di comprare ogni ogni qual voglia aggeggio che accresca la tua pigrizia......Allora non puoi fare a meno di rimpiazzare le stringhe di tutte le tue scarpe con questi bellissimi cosi in silicone (o sifilone come diceva Homer Simpson).Facili da mettere (non è vero, ma lo fai una volta sola, sù), comodi da usare.Ti infilerai le scarpe con agilità felina e te le potrai sfilare senza martoriare il tacco con l'altra scarpa.Paura che ti voli via la scarpa? Ma via tra nani, è roba elastica, tiene bene!Paura di sembrare un bimbogigi con i lacci di gomma? Ma no che manco Detective Conan si accorge che non son stringhe!Paura per la taglia? Non farti assalire dal dubbio, va che ci sono più pezzi del necessario a misura crescente, scegli tu da dove partire.Ocio però che le tue scarpe abbian i buchi, se c'hai roba con fibbie di tessuto stai fresco, non ci agganci il perno! Tac!Ora va e spendi, che le tue scarpe te li chiedono!

Great so far!
I don't usually write reviews, but I'm really impressed by these laces so far that I just had to! Read a bunch of reviews about these over the past few days & decided to go for it.Yes; they're tricky to thread into the shoe eyelets, especially the first one. But once you have the technique, it's fairly easy. 1st shoe took me 7-8 minutes total, 2nd took me just a 2 mins tops.I don't think they're ever going to be "tight", I'd probably not recommend these for walking/running/hiking. However, for the way I wear shoes, these are ideal! I have an electric skateboard & always wear skate shoes. Skate shoes are notoriously loose fit anyway & I especially don't want any laces anywhere to potentially get caught in the skateboard wheels.That being said, they are certainly a lot better than I thought. They don't pinch or hurt at all, I can't feel them. Then again, this could be due to the type of shoe I have (very thick tongue).Had them on for 20 minutes, very happy so far. Time will tell how long they will last, but the rubber seems very durable and very flexible! 5 stars, so far. Really pleased!

Facilitando la vida
Producto que, estéticamente, imita a los cordones de toda la vida, por lo que cuadra perfectamente con todo nuestro calzado. Lo cogí blanco, aunque hay de muchos colores diferentes, porque cuadraba con la estética de las nuevas zapatillas de mi hija mayor (5 años). Cogí las “kids” y vienen 7 elásticos: 2 del mismo tamaño (los más pequeños) y 5 que van “in crescendo” para adaptarse a la anchura de nuestros pies y calzado.Por el momento, perfecto, como podréis verificar en las fotos.Por cierto, para que sean capaces de ponerse las zapatillas solos los enanos, yo he puesto los elásticos de arriba a abajo, es decir colocando arriba del todo de las zapatillas los más anchos y así sucesivamente. Al tener 5 agujeros la zapatilla, me sobran dos.Espero os haya sido útil mi reseña. Un saludo.

Rubber lace replacements - good for gym shoes
The SRP for these was never ever close to £50, so ignore the supposed big discount. In truth, these lace-replacements are over-priced compared to what you can pay for them from other websites. I got mine during a lightning sale and although I could have got them cheaper elsewhere, I like the shopping experience of Amazon, knowing that if something isn't right, they'll manage the return fairly.These lace-replacements are simply rubber connectors, but they do work. I have 7.5/8 size feet, and they're fine for me. I use them on my gym trainers and they add convenience without affecting fit. They work very well, and they look reasonable. I wouldn't put them on trainers I wear out, and certainly not on dress shoes. I bought them for one purpose and they're good for that.
