Exactly as advertised and so convenient!

This is my second pair of Xpand No Tie Shoelaces. After buying the first pair it is pretty much a given for me now that I will be buying a pair of these shoelaces every time I buy a new pair of shoes. They are so convenient and simple to use that it is a wonder anyone is still using regular shoe laces at all.What you see is what you get when it comes to this product. In the package you get a pair of laces in your chosen color (they have a wide variety), four inside the shoe fasteners, and four…

Pros
  • Good product.
Cons
  • The product may not be the right size for everyone

Great, comically reflective

After trying 3 different systems between 5 companies, these are the best. I've tried the round bungee cords, the silicon bands, and these flat ones. to start off, I have the most frustrating feet in my family, too high of arches, overpronate and oversupinate with each step, not a lot of fat on the ball or heel of my feet. Just terrible, tried every Dr. Scholl's product they make for men, literally. No avail. Then at the hardware store of all places I came across the silicon bands, I think…

Pros
  • Comfortable and secure fit.
Cons
  • The product may be too difficult to clean for some users

Tough to get just right, may or may not be worth the effort

Initially setting these up was pretty straightforward; lace them up, put them through the holder tabs, cut the laces, and snap the little end-snaps on. Overall, the system is very well engineered; the holder tabs make it so it's virtually impossible for it to come loose, and the end-snaps clamp down on the ends of the laces after you cut them to length so that they don't unravel. The instructions say to leave 2-3 inches on each end so that you can get them adjusted; I left about 2 inches and…

Pros
  • Good for chuck
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be suitable for certain foot shapes

These places were a game changer for me

I have neuropathy in my feet and a high in step to complicate matters. It's really difficult to find shoes that I can wear. I found that wearing sneakers is probably one of the most comfortable shoes I can wear, but because of my high instep the laces are too short. These elastic laces were able to extend the coverage area for my foot and made the shoe much more secure. I totally recommend these for anybody with foot neuropathy or a high-end step where other shoes just don't fit very well.

Pros
  • I bought several of this and really like them, so much better than regular show laces.
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be suitable for certain styles of shoes

Works nicely best in my review

The shoelaces installed relatively easily, like regular shoelaces. I made the mistake of installing them, then putting on my shoes. The laces were tight. Here's a tip: have the shies on you feet as you lace them up. It may be a bit awkward but you can adjust the tightness for comfort. I didn't care for the p art of heating the cut ends to seal them but it prevents fraying. If you heat them too much the end may melt I. Such a way as to prevent the end from being snapped into place.

Pros
  • Once adjustments are made they work well.
Cons
  • Too thin otherwise good

Cut only when you’re sure!

I like the Xpand No Tie laces because, for more classic sneaker styles, they offer a look that is closer to standard white laces.I recently put a set a new set of classic lace up Vans. I liked the idea of being able to slip these on while still having the look of being laced. I did not use the enclosed clips, opting to instead to get the stretch level right where I wanted it and then double loop the laces in the topmost hole to ‘lock’ them in place. Then I finished them off with a standard shoe

Pros
  • Shoe Care & Accessories
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be safe for certain activities, like running or hiking

I put them in all my shoes

I've had several pairs of these laces, and now I order a pair whenever I buy a new pair of shoes. They're comfortable and durable. They make slipping shoes on and off simple. And I really like the clean look they provide.One suggestion though: after you cut the excess lace off, melt the ends of the laces. Otherwise, they can start to unravel with time. I really think the should be part of the standard instructions.

Pros
  • Adjusts to the wearer's foot shape and size.
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be as durable in extreme weather conditions

Take your time to set your shoelaces correctly .

These work really well. These are my second pair. My first pair after two years, is working great. They work while I'm exercising. This pair will be for everyday use. No more untied shoes.

Pros
  • These work great for my son who is unable to tie his shoes
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be suitable for people with certain foot conditions

Mostly work well best in my review

Kind of a pain to "install,” but manageable. They work great and are exactly what I wanted - except they’ve gotten pretty dirty, and what do I do about that? Definitely not convenient to try and remove them to wash, if that’s even an option.

Pros
  • Avoids blisters or discomfort caused by tight laces.
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be suitable for people with high or low arches

I’m never using real laces for my sneakers again.

I own two pairs of these now. I only went a week with new sneakers before I had to buy another pair because I got so used to them on my other shoes.

Pros
  • Great for any type of shoe, including sneakers and boots.
Cons
  • The product may not fit all types of footwear

Decent product… in my review

These would work way better with metal anchors instead of plastic. Easy enough to install, but I can see that the plastic anchor point might pose an issue in the future. Getting them to latch correctly can be fickle, and the slightest tug on the laces while installing them pulled the end of the lace out of the clip. We’ll see. If they don’t pop out over the next couple months, I’ll buy more for my other pairs, but I might try a different brand, we’ll see.

Pros
  • Does not damage shoes with wear and tear.
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for people who prefer a more traditional look

They work well on my review.

These shoe laces work really well. They are stretchy enough to get into the shoes but tight enough to hold the shoes on. Plus the blue are awesome on my black shoes.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting material.
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be adjustable enough for some users

Not the best laces good for me

I didn't think these were the best elastic laces. I didn't love the clip aspect and no matter what I did, they kept twisting and showing on the shoe tongue. They also dug into the sneakers and my feet after a while.

Pros
  • Great product makes putting on and taking off your shoes a breeze
Cons
  • The product may not be the right color for everyone

They are ok on my review.

They work OK but I am disappointed about having the plastic tabs sticking out. I have tried to tuck them in but they don't stay put. Maybe there is a trick to making them stay where you want them but I couldnt get it to work. If you don't care how they look then, they are functional at least. If you do care, keep looking.

Pros
  • Promotes independence for children learning how to put on their own shoes
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for people who require orthopedic inserts or other specialized shoe accessories

Works as described for my opinion

I've bought several "no tie" products and this is the only one I still kept using after a few tries.Easy to install and tension to your liking.

Pros
  • Gives shoes a modern and trendy look.
Cons
  • The elastic laces may not be suitable for certain types of sports

Amazing fit good for me

I was worried the shoes might be hard to get on or too loose once I got them on but Im pleasantly surprised! It's easy to get your shoe on and off while still keeping your shoe tight for walking. Really happy, I want them on all of my shoes. (They even work with my high top vans)

Pros
  • No directions at all for attaching them on the outside of the shoe. A little irritating.
Cons
  • Others may find the elastic laces too loose and constantly slipping off their feet
