Review on XPAND Round Lacing: Elastic No Tie Shoelaces With Quick Release Tension Control - One Size Fits All For Adults And Kids Shoes - Enhanced SEO by Dana Schmidt

Before this on some of my shoes I use Lock Laces, which are a good idea and seem like a good product still, but the locking part seems to protrude out more which means that the bottom of my pants don't as easily wrap around the shoe. This Xpand lock design doesn't come out as much but rather sits more flush on the shoe tongue. Also if I recall they claim that it's stronger locking. From what I can tell so far it seems to be a better design. Either way you go, these no tie systems seem good, for my needs at least, especially if you wear some kind of shoe around the house or for whatever reason have to frequently put your shoes on and off. Also, not sure if the elasticity of the laces help a bit with wearing comfort.
