Review on XPAND Round Lacing Elastic No Tie Shoelaces: Quick Release Tension Control - One Size Fits All Shoes! by Roberto Strumer

These work perfectly! However, always err on the side of leaving the laces too long. I made the mistake of cutting them too short the first go around, as I’ve had problems with lesser brands allowing my heels to slip out. When lacing initially, (before I cut them to size) I’ve learned the laces should appear slightly loose while my foot is OUT. I leave an extra 3” at the top and use the lace lock but I DON’T put the cap on the cut end yet. I try them on & walk around to ensure my foot & heel don’t slip. If they do slip, I tighten the laces VERY SLIGHTLY, a little goes a long way, then put them back on for another test walk. If they feel at all tight through this process, or are pulling a shoe together tightly without my foot inside, I know they’ll be too tight when I wear them all day. I pop on the end cap, without trimming the extra, until I’ve worn them a couple times & know for sure how long they should be. Hope this helps!
