Laced my custom-ordered New Balance running shoes with these so far. Previously they had a set of Hickies rubbery fasteners for years and those were stretched out, and I decided to give these low priced stretchy laces a try. I was going for tight fit for the six-holes-on-each-side shoes, so I cut one of the laces in half, lightly melted the raw ends of the cut to prevent fraying with a butane lighter, and used the two pieces to lace both shoes. Otherwise you use one lace per shoe and trim to fit. You put them through the eyelets as normal, run the two ends through the holes of a pushbutton adjuster while holding the button down FIRMLY, then carefully into the hole in the back end of a plastic alligator clamp so the ends are inside and squeeze the clamp shut hard till it latches. I ended up using pliers on it. Worked. Look at the pictures, you should have a bit of slack to loosen it (press the button and slide the adjuster down) and put the shoe on, then again press and hold the adjuster open while sliding it to a snug position, using your other hand to hold the end of the lace taut. Finally, tuck the plastic end under the nearest cross laces. You can then also use the laced shoes as slip-ons, sort of. If you do, you'll have to pull each shoe open strongly as you push your foot in. These are fairly strong. This system is new to me. So far, it works. The plastic parts are holding up, the laces keep my shoes in place on the feet, not bad. If you don't like your shoes laced really tight, then DON'T cut one lace into two like I did if you have six or more eyelets each side. They're not expensive.
