HOMARNo Tie Shoelaces for Kids and Adults Stretch Silicone Elastic No Tie Shoe Laces

This is a pack of 20 silicon laces that insert into the holes of shoes that allow you to turn any pair of sneakers into no-tie shoes. The laces are of different sizes ranging from 1.6 inches to 3.15 inches. They are hard to get in and out, especially if the lace holes on your shoes are small (you may need to use tweezers or something with a narrow tip to help push them through the holes). So, you want to choose your lace size correctly the first time. I would suggest removing them from the cardboard and holding them against the span of your shoe and don't just assume that the smallest one will go in the bottom holes. Once they are in, they will keep your shoes on your feet pretty well, even when working out, and make it very easy to get your shoes on and off.

If you have issues whether mobility to bend over or bring your feet up to tie shoes OR even tying in general due to poor hand strength and mobility these are an excellent option. I do say though that it is a bit tough to get them into the shoe lace holes, so if you do have issues with your hands please see about asking another to put them in for you (like I did). The feeling of them is also uniform so no more "tight" spots from over tight laces. I understand there is the option for lace-less shoes out there but I still love sneakers and the stability they hold for me. So these were the perfect fix for my issues.

A kid could definitely not braid them on their own, I actually required tools. But they’re good. Material is ok.

These are just replacements. I have to get a new set every time I get a new pair of shoes. I purchased a different brand before and they were great. These are okay but this time I had 2 (of the same length) break about a week apart. That hadn't happened before.

First off - I really like these laces. I have them in a pair of boat style shoes that had standard laces that just would NOT stay tied. These solved that problem perfectly.However, I guess my left foot is slightly larger than my right, because despite the same size laces in both shoes, my left was just a bit too tight.Other answers to customer questions about how to remove said ‘just pull out; they are very sturdy.’ Well, two of the three broke (the T-shaped ends snapped off). Fortunately, I had bought two sets, so I was able to replace them with the proper sizes.So be sure you pick the correct sizes - not that easy to change out once they are in!

Likely tricky to install. Make sure you have something to pull then through but look great once they’re all in

So yeah, I've let my youngest son be a little lazy about the whole shoe-tying thing; most of his shoes have been velcro or slip-on (or they've ended up that way because he rigged the laces to slip on/off).When it was time to get him new every-day shoes this time though, he wanted Heelys. They're not cheap and they're not easy to find, so I didn't want them run down with ratty, shredded laces. Also it could be dangerous since he'd likely end up rolling over them.Enter the search for no-tie laces! I'd tried a couple of types when my boys were younger, but never found any that worked very well. The ones with the spring-loaded clasps were a total fail, and the ones that are round, bouncy elastic cables didn't keep their shoes on.These were obviously different, but I didn't realize HOW different until they arrived. I'd expected them to be made of a strong elastic fabric, and instead they're almost like thick stretchy plastic. But it's STRONG, whatever it is! I like the fact that there will be no threads hanging off the sides as they're worn longer, and that they look as nice now (after several weeks of running/skating through mud & puddles) as they did new. Just wipe them with a damp cloth and that's that.I found installation to be extremely easy. Sure there's some resistance when pulling them through the holes, but if they slipped through easily, they'd never stay put. I just used a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip & get them through the grommets, then adjusted as needed.I really like that there's plenty included - in our case almost 2x as many as we needed, although that will obviously vary by shoe. The color is perfect and he says they're as comfy as his old Nikes, which is a huge compliment from him.I do recommend being careful to check that the pieces you're putting in are the right widths. I had him put the shoes on several times during the process, to double check that I was making them tight enough to hold on, but loose enough to slip on & off. They weren't necessarily 5 right next to each other - I made sure they all fit exactly, instead of picking one that fit and then the 4 immediately after that. A little investment of time & caution can save a whole lot of aggravation later.Now I'm going to order some for my collection of Pumas!!!

I just tried these out on a pair of New Balance running shoes. Not too difficult to install. Looks like they will hold up. Keep my shoes snug, but not too tight.I recommend and I will buy these again.

I swear by these types of laces because I have arthritis and an injured spine from a car accident I had 2 years ago.So popping shoes on and off is so much easier and less painful.I highly recommend these for people with any types of disabilities or illnesses that make bending hard, they’re a life-saver.

Great quality. Does not snap or come off while using it.

Love these. They look great on converse shoes!

The product is not Homar branded as advertised - the photo shows the product I received instead. The laces may work just as well, but I can't open the packet as I wish to return the item and get it replaced.
