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

The laces fit perfectly on my new walking shoes. To more easily attach the top piece that covers the shoe lace ends, place the trimmed shoe lace ends over a lit match, about 3 to 4 inches above the flame, for a second to melt the frayed ends. Just a second will do! Be careful! This will leave a nice, smooth end to the laces. They will fill well into the end piece if you do this. Obviously, the laces must be all polyester/synthetic fabric.
