Awesome! Just leave extra.

These work perfectly! However, always err on the side of leaving the laces too long. I made the mistake of cutting them too short the first go around, as I’ve had problems with lesser brands allowing my heels to slip out. When lacing initially, (before I cut them to size) I’ve learned the laces should appear slightly loose while my foot is OUT. I leave an extra 3” at the top and use the lace lock but I DON’T put the cap on the cut end yet. I try them on & walk around to ensure my foot & heel…

Pros
  • Gets the job done
Cons
  • May be difficult to put on

Looks Great good for me

So far they are great. The tie laces on my Cole Haan wouldn’t stay tied. I got these, Glow-in-the-dark and they keep my shoes comfortably snug. I’m glad I got the round laces, as the holes weren’t very big and the flat would never have fit. I don’t have really strong hands, so I needed to use pliers to snap the End Clips.Also, if like me, you want to adjust where the End Clips are there is a video under FAQ on their homepage that shows you how.

Pros
  • like.. makes puttimg on shoes easier.
Cons
  • Color may fade over time

Instructions need to be improved and legible

The instructions that come with this product are tiny and incomplete. They need to print words and pictures on a full-size sheet of paper and then make sure that the average person can follow them. This paper should be folded up and put inside the little product pouch.

Pros
  • Provides peace of mind when wearing shoes
Cons
  • May not be as secure as traditional laces for individuals with heavier body types

Takes a bit to get used to, but they are superior to usual laces. I use them on my mephisto walking shoes. Because they are elastic:1) I can push into the shoes without adjusting the tension, though a shoe horn makes it easier.2) I can just slip out of the shoes3) Walking is more comfortable because of the laces flex as the foot expands or contract. They are never too tight or too lose once you discover the (non-critical) optimum tension rangeWith such treatment they tend to loosen after many…

Pros
  • Perfect for individuals who value efficiency and practicality
Cons
  • Could cause friction or rubbing on the skin if not properly adjusted

Never tie your shoes again

I bought them because I have some mobility issues that can make tying my own shoes slower/ uncomfortable/ more difficult than I'd prefer. I usually keep my shoelaces loosely laced and double-knotted so I can just step into my shoes, but I wanted a better way.The video demo from the manufacturer's website effectively showed how to add them to shoes. After I paused and rewatched a couple of parts, it was pretty easy to put them on.I had to "install" them twice because I managed to pull one…

Pros
  • Improves independence when putting on and taking off shoes
Cons
  • May not be secure enough for high-impact activities

Better than Velcro good for me

These easy to install laces are perfect for my grandson who loves to have his shoes tight. Velcro closures weren’t tight enough and wouldn’t stay closed. He’s able to pull these as tight as he needs and lock them himself. It’s so nice not having to stop every third step so he can tighten a Velcro strap. Excellent quality and durability

Pros
  • Bought for someone else
Cons
  • Lack of variety in colors and designs

Just what I wanted good for me

I don't know if these would work for runners who cover a lot of miles, but they are just perfect for those of us who switch shoes going in and out. I keep these on several of my indoor pairs as they make them easier to use and less likely I'll not change when going out on wet, or salty or dirty drives. I actually can do 1 pair of shoes with one lace as most of mine are 4-6 grommets each. My 'On' sneakers (Swiss-made & $100+) use ties like this and they just use a knot to keep the lace in place…

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • Could be difficult to replace if lost or damaged

Amazing! Most secure lock, and most low profile!

Amazing! I have been using elastic laces on most of my shoes, and have tried all the different types. These just became my favorite! I just got these for my new pair of "INOV-8 Bare-FX 210 V2 sneakers” and, other than secure grip and a lock that does not slip, (which by the way, the lock on these by far outperforms the competition) it was very important for me that the lock mechanism is as flush with the shoe as possible for rope climbing exercises, and sure enough, this lock stays on and stays

Pros
  • Improves overall shoe comfort
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for individuals with pronation or supination issues

Work great on my logging boots

I didn't think they would work well on my big logging style boots and felt they would feel a little loose but you can't tell the difference from laces. It requires a good tug to get them on but pop off easily at the end of the day. I love 'em.

Pros
  • Ideal for individuals who work in professions that require quick shoe changes
Cons
  • May not provide enough protection for the foot during strenuous activity

End snaps don't work

One of the little snaps to secure the ends was broken and didn't work at all. I thought about returning them, but I figured I could just double-knot the laces right out of the last eyelet on each side and they'd work fine that way. It's just not worth using the extra bits in the packages since they don't work.

Pros
  • Makes it easy to slip shoes on and off
Cons
  • Could damage the shoe if not used properly

Half the size of a regular lace

Product arrived quickly. The only issue I have with these laces is that they are about half the thickness of a normal shoe lace. I have not yet put them on my shoes, but I am going to try them. The concept is a good one, I just don't like how thin they are.

Pros
  • Allows me to slip on shoes
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for certain foot types

color of locks for my opinion

These are easier to install than the ones with the magnets. The only thing that would be nicer would be for the locks to be a color closer to the color of the shoe string or at least not a black color for a brown or sand color shoe string.

Pros
  • Makes getting ready in the morning easier and more efficient
Cons
  • Could stretch out over time, resulting in poor fit

NICE LACES PRODUCT, BUT I DON'T MUCH LIKE THE HARDWARE.

I bought this because I liked the color of the laces, but I didn't expect to have to deal with the debatable quality of the lace snaps and the type of what are normally pressure snaps. Maybe I'm just "old-fashioned", but I went out and bought new hardware. Love the laces.

Pros
  • Great for athletes who need to quickly put on and take off their shoes
Cons
  • May be too long or short for certain shoes

The best no-tie shoelace system.

I've been using Xpand laces for years, and these new (to me) round versions are the best yet! I have a set on a pair of Timberland Pro Flex work sneakers, and they are absolutely perfect. No more stopping to tie the ridiculously long laces that came with the shoes; just slip them on and they're set for all day comfort.

Pros
  • Very easy to use. Love that I don't have to tie shoes anymore.
Cons
  • Lack of customization options

Great service good for me

When pulling tight with moderate pressure as you need to do, one lace came out of the plastic end. Very hard to open again to secure the lace. Ended up using a flame to melt the plastic to create a hard seal so the lace would not come out again. Take care when pulling tight, you are better off holding the laces not the plastic end.Update from 2 to 5 stars. 6/4/22 Company posted replacement newer plastic end. Works really well now. Buying another set.

Pros
  • Provides excellent support for the foot and ankle
Cons
  • May not be suitable for outdoor activities that require waterproof shoes

Functional Ease - my new review

This lacing system is easy to use from setup to actual use. Once installed the xpand laces stay snug and keep your feet in the shoes like they are tied. No issues with slipping or being too tight. Its really a set it and forget it type of solution.

Pros
  • Perfect for people with wider feet
Cons
  • Could be difficult to get a tight fit on the shoe

Great for golf shoes!

Bought these for my golf shoes. Easy on/off while standing. Stays fit, but can tighten if needed. Bought for my dress shoes too.

Pros
  • Shoe, Jewelry & Watch Accessories
Cons
  • May be difficult to clean

Easy to Use! for my opinion

Love these laces! This is second pair for my sons shoes. We love the variety of colors to choose from. Easy to lace up and install the end clasp. Simple picture directions easy to follow. Do suggest leaving a bit longer for a comfortable fit after wearing a day or two. These keep a good tight fit and don’t stretch out over time.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design adds to the overall appearance of the shoe
Cons
  • Could come undone during sudden movements or quick changes in direction

Quick, easy alternative to laces!

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.

Pros
  • Allows for more freedom of movement in the foot
Cons
  • May not be as effective for individuals with sweaty or slippery feet
