Type of review

I love these things! It makes slipping my sneakers on and off so easy. Before, I would just keep my laces loose enough to slip on easily, but that meant sacrificing a snug fit. With these Xpand laces, my shoes fit nice and snug, and I can still pull them right off and put them back on again without touching a thing! I also enjoy getting rid of the lace loops and ends that used to dangle off the side and could get caught on things. If you are a trail hiker, these laces are an excellent…

Pros
  • Very easy to use. Love that I don't have to tie shoes anymore.
Cons
  • May not be as customizable as traditional shoelaces

Easy in, easy out good for me

I wear boots for the winter and I figured the round laces would be more durable than the flat laces from the same company. I have a no shoes policy for my apartment. I know I can keep my laces tied loose, but the problem with that is that they stay loose so walking is ridiculous and feels sloppy. With these laces you can lace them up relatively tight and still slip in your shoes with some help with a finger (to help so the back doesn’t fall down). If you want them tighter, there is a lace lock.

Pros
  • Make sure you measure the right length you want before you make your final cut.
Cons
  • Limited color options

I really DO like these laces. Shoes are so much easier to put on when they don't need to be tied. And some laces, especially Sperry Dock Siders, just don't stay tied. I use these Xpand laces on running shoes too and love them.2 (somewhat) negatives: 1) Xpand round laces only come with "quick release" ends rather than the "hidden" ends available on their flat laces. I would really like to have the round laces with the "hidden" ends. 2) The clear plastic tips used for threading the round laces…

Pros
  • Gets the job done
Cons
  • May be difficult to adjust the tension

Definitely avoids having to tie shoes. Better instructions would help. First, do not cut the laces too short, as I did and now am considering a repurchase to get new laces. After cutting the laces, the ends fray, making it impossible to relace the shoe; easy solution, light the lace end with a match and the end becomes hard and firm, no fringe to interfere with lacing. The end piece locks the laces together, but they pull out too easily with pressure. To fix that, put the laces through the…

Pros
  • Never have to worry about tying your shoe or slipping out of them again
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with aesthetic preferences for traditional shoelaces

Work perfectly! - my new review

Exactly what I needed. We had a little trouble putting the clip on the ends of the laces, but were able to figure it out. Simple. Look great.

Pros
  • Shoe Care & Accessories
Cons
  • May not be as comfortable as traditional shoelaces

Easy slip on and off for sneakers

I added these to a pair of Merrell sneakers. The new model did not come with stretchy laces. I’m in and outdoors all day and like the quick on and off these laces provide. The instruction pictures where hard to see but intuitive design

Pros
  • Great for all ages, including kids and seniors
Cons
  • May not be suitable for outdoor activities in wet or muddy conditions

Absolutely perfect and necessary if you work EMS

Love them! I work as a paramedic with 24hr shifts. At night, we're allowed to take our boots off to rest. Most boots offer a side zipper but I've always had problems with the boot folding in on itself. These new shoelaces are the best! They stay looped and keep the mouth open enough for you to slide your foot in and then really simply pull the elastic and lock it in. You're good to go for the next 911 call! Anytime I buy new boots, I'll be buying these along with them.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting, so you don't have to replace them frequently
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for those with flat feet or high arches

Only gave 4 stars because I haven’t used them yet. Years ago I purchased hiking shoes with this type lacing and loved them. I have back and joint issues that limit my ability to tie standard laces but have been unable to find desirable shoes that come with this type since. I bought these laces anticipating ability to purchase any shoes I wish and will install these laces. I anticipate upgrading to 5 stars then.

Pros
  • Eliminates the need to tie and retie your shoes throughout the day
Cons
  • May slip or loosen during strenuous activity

Cute laces for my opinion

Laces are really cute and made my shoes easy slip-ons. They were not easy to assemble as the clip would not click. I had to burn the edges to flatten them to fit properly in the clip. Frustrating, but it’s done.

Pros
  • Saves time in the morning when getting dressed
Cons
  • May not be suitable for sports that require tight laces, such as soccer or hockey

No instructions best in my review

I couldn't figure out how to attach the little locking piece that attaches to the end of the elastic lace. That's my review.

Pros
  • Replaced the shoelaces our German Shepard puppy chewed. Worked out great!
Cons
  • Elastic may wear out quickly

Great shoe laces! for my opinion

I prefer your xpand laces over lock laces. For me they are easier to use. I recently had a hip replacement and itwas too hard for me to tie my shoes with regular laces. I liked them so much that I ordered two more pairs. Also I like the great variety of colors available.

Pros
  • Ideal for shoe collectors who have multiple pairs to share with family or friends
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with weight-bearing restrictions

Every time i buy a new pair of shoes i buy these Xpand laces, honestly i freakin love them. they are so easy and convenient. They have a TON of options so you will always have a match for whatever color shoe you buy. i can't say enough good things about this product. i use it all the time.

Pros
  • Comfy and stretchy material moves with your foot
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with allergies to certain materials

Almost but not quite.

The other stretch laces have a much better locking and adjustment mechanism than these. Nice colors but the locking mechanism just doesn’t cut it. I had to use the lock from a pair of other laces to make them work.

Pros
  • like.. makes puttimg on shoes easier.
Cons
  • May not stay securely tied

Great for your everyday shoes!

I love these! I like the look of laces, but the everyday ease of slip-ons, and these deliver! I've tried others, but the spring clasp thingy is just big and clunky. These, the Lace Anchor is small and efficient! Great product, I'm ordering another pair for my golf shoes and a couple for my wife!

Pros
  • Makes slipping into your shoes a breeze
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with arthritis or other hand conditions
