Review on Say Goodbye To Traditional Shoelaces: Xpand'S Elastic No Tie Shoelaces For Perfect Fit In All Shoes! by Reza Shoecraft

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far So good - my new review

I received my laces on time. The vendor was great at communication and making sure things were going smoothly. Whether it was an automated thing or not I couldn't tell you.The laces look true to the pictures. I got a set of purple and a set of blue. I've put the purple laces on my motorcycle riding shoes, Dainese York Air. They make it a little tough to get into the shoe, however I believe I'll get used to them and they'll simply be put on easily enough. My right foot has issues going into it's shoe, my left foot slips in much easier. The laces keep my motorcycle shoes snug. Not over tight, but tight enough you know they're on. They keep the sleeve for the ankle snug as well. The shoes feel a bit different, but not annoyingly so. I can tell the laces pull the shoe tighter across the whole lace pattern and not just here and there and loose here and there.Install was simple enough. Put on shoe. Lace up shoe. Don't pull tight on the laces, but pull just a little. They are elastic and will contract and expand. When you're at the top of the shoe, I went for the "hidden" look, loop from outside to inside shoe through their locking device. Stand and walk a bit to make sure the shoe isn't too tight, if so loosen a bit. When fit is to your liking and lace is locked in, cut the lace about an inch or 2 from the locking device. Burn the end with a lighter. Tuck the locking bit in and you're done.So far I'm not having issues and I like how the purple laces look on the grey and black shoes I have them on. I plan on putting the blue laces on my running shoes later.Update:So I've had these for several months now. They're holding up really well. I finished my Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course a week ago. Laces did great. I was on and off a motorcycle all day with no issues. The heat from the motorcycle didn't do any harm to the laces. I was on a Street 500 and the riding pegs on one side is right on top of the exhaust pipe. My Dainese shoes were comfy all day. Will definitely get these for other shoes in the future.

Pros
  • Pretty great overall. Kinda wish they were wider for flat laces but they work well.
Cons
  • Removing end clips to adjust length is impossible
