Xpand No Tie Elastic Shoe Laces for Sneakers - Shoelaces for Adults & Kids

Love these. These come with easy to follow directions for no-show and showing the laces. I used them for my gym shoes, and they’re perfect. My shoes are easy to slide on and off while also keeping me shoes on without my heels slipping out. 12/10 recommend these for frequently used shoes!

After trying 3 different systems between 5 companies, these are the best. I've tried the round bungee cords, the silicon bands, and these flat ones. to start off, I have the most frustrating feet in my family, too high of arches, overpronate and oversupinate with each step, not a lot of fat on the ball or heel of my feet. Just terrible, tried every Dr. Scholl's product they make for men, literally. No avail. Then at the hardware store of all places I came across the silicon bands, I think they're called Hickies, mine were knockoffs for about 1.50 in their clearance aisle for a box, tried them, and loved them. they greatly improved my foot comfort, but they all broke one by one. At least now I was on the right path. So after trying out more name brand silicones and others, this was the best. Pros: -They look like laces, you can keep the excess material on them, and tie them like a normal shoe if you want to, so if you're self conscious, then buy these, they're pretty normal looking. -I bought another brand of flat elastic laces that said they were reflective, they weren't, these are blindingly reflective. -They're thin, but not too. The other brand of flat, were a bit too fat to fit through my eye holes of my tennis shoes, so you couldn't adjust tension at a later date easily. -They're the right amount of elastic, not too loose and not too tight. They feel like the silicone ones I had, which I liked a lot. -Randomly the company emails you a ton of informational videos on how to use their products, and different lacing techniques, it was weird, but cool to see a company that in love with their product and wanting to make sure the customer is well informed. -The laces feel odd and have a texture to them that made me feel like they'd start flaking and sloughing off, though I stress tested them and didn't end up with glittery hands. I've had elastics that have done that before, it's not cool. So glad to see the plastic thread is woven into the lace in a manner that it's well incorporated and not a coating. -As I said, I tie mine, instead of lacing them through their stopper. It was more so, if in the off chance I'd need to return them, I could in the same/similar condition I got them. Needless to say they hold a knot well and haven't ran into issues with them untying on me. Though I double wind around then pull through to form my second loop, it's the only knot I've found that can handle the abuse it receives from my stride. Cons: -Maybe they're not going to last that long, I don't know. They are thin, and my shoes have chewed through 6 elastic bands, though since then I "modified" my shoes to round out those sharp cutting corners. Though if you have metal eyelets and your foot moves around like mine, you're going to probably want to puffy paint the crud out of the eyelets like I did, not sure how that's going to hold up, but was working with what I had. -When lacing them, they kind of get annoying to make sure they're laying flat and not twisting on you in the eyelets. Things to keep in mind: I wear a size 10.5 US Male, after lacing, I had a lot left over, nearly 2 feet both sides per shoe, though with a big loop, you can wrangle them and manage it so the laces aren't dragging on the ground. Color wise, they're about a light gray, not too light that they're nearly white. Hex value would be about DCDCDC or 220,220,220 in decimal triplets. Conclusion: For 10 dollars, not bad, if they break, I'll buy them again. Would recommend for those that need that bit of give with their laces.

I'm a Biochemistry research scientist, which means 2 relevant things to this review. First, I'm on my feet a LOT and second, I am required by law to wear closed toe shoes every day, all year round. That means I own/wear a lot of casual shoes and sneakers that lace up and are constantly coming untied. I also have a 6 year old son with autism who does "do" shoes with laces. This is a wonderful and effective product that has made a difference in our lives! I have now converted two pairs of my own shoes (a pair of Vans and a pair of Taos sneakers) with these laces and have loved it so much that I plan to finally buy my son some non-velcro shoes and convert them to slip-ons using these as well! They really are pretty easy to install (if you watch the instructional video and follow along) and work perfectly so far! My shoes are now easy to slip on, super comfortable and I don't have to worry about big ugly bows or my shoes coming untied! They're the perfect fit every time! You can choose the hidden method or the pieces that lock the laces on top of the shoe. I go hidden mode every time. The little lace anchor fits between the tongue and the eyelets and I can't even feel it when I put the shoes on. If I had two complaints, the first would be that they don't come in a cream or off white color. They actually have a great color section but I was really hoping for that specific color. Second, these laces look very much like they're meant for athletic shoes, which they probably are, but I'm using them on casual shoes as well and it would be nice if they had some that were wider/thicker and looked more like casual shoe laces rather than really thin "sport" laces if that makes sense. Still, I'm very very happy that I found these and will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! I paid full price for these (which I thought was very fair) and have no affiliation with this company whatsoever.

I run a minimum of 20 miles per week and usually have several pairs of running shoes in my rotation at any given time. I recently bought three new pairs of running shoes and wanted to get speed laces for them. I prefer speed laces to get a better fit from my running shoes and to avoid having to deal with untied laces during a run. I looked at the round, bungee-style laces that I normally used, but then I ran across these Xpand laces and was immediately enamored with the flat lace look of this system. After reading reviews, I decided to take a chance on them and ordered three pairs of laces. I received them quickly with Amazon Prime shipping. The laces were well packaged, with the required hardware, and included a small piece of paper with a link to the company's website where installation instructions are located. I found the instructions very straight forward, so I went and grabbed my running shoes and got to work! I installed these laces on three pairs of running shoes - a pair of Hoka Clifton 3's, a pair of Hoka Bondi 4's and a pair of Newton Gravity 6's. The laces were very easy to install on all three pairs of shoes, though a tad easier on the Hoka Bondi 4's, as they have eyelets that allow the laces to glide a little more easily. I installed the lace anchors immediately, which was really straight forward. After seeing how each pair felt, I decided to keep 1-2" of extra length on each pair of laces for adjustments and proceeded with the installation. I cut the laces, sealed the ends with a quick pass of a lighter flame and then installed the end clips. I was able to lace, adjust and finalize installation of the laces on all three pairs of shoes in under a half hour, not including the short time I spent testing them out on each pair to make sure I had the initial tension correct. I've found that adjusting the laces is relatively easy once you understand how they work. It's not unusual for me to adjust a pair of laces to increase or decrease tension depending on the socks I'm wearing, to accommodate foot swelling during a run or in the evening, etc. It takes slightly longer than the traditional bungee style speed laces I was using before, but really, the difference is negligible and I have done this during a few runs. I don't know that I'd want to mess with them during a race or while chasing down PRs, but on a typical run, adjusting the laces is not a problem. I really love how these laces look on each pair of shoes I've installed them in and the color selection is excellent. More importantly, I feel that that the tension across the tops of my feet is more even with these laces than with other speed laces. I do not get hot spots or uneven tightness on the tops of my feet that I sometimes did with the bungee-style laces. Overall, I really like the Xpand laces and will continue to use them from here forward as long as they remain available. I'm now recommending them to other runners without hesitation. You can see how these laces look installed on my Hoka Bondi 4 running shoes with a little extra lace length for adjustments below.

My son is still trying to learn how to tie shoe laces. But this came in handy as he still practices at home . They work well they have stay in places . I probably made them a lil too tight but rubber band will stretch with time soon think they are good. You can cut them at the length you want and they also have with different options to set them and they do have a QR code to see how the lil end part gets put on the shoe laces .

It's alright, works perfectly fine 5/5 stars on just the functionality of it. I have a few issues 1- The laces are incredibly flammable. Should of been a bit more to the instructions to indicate that. I used a normal Bic lighter, kept only the very tips of the laces in the flame for about 1-2 seconds and then it caught fire, and grew very quickly. I was able to blow it out just fine but it did ruin the end of my laces. LUCKILY I didn't work on both sides at once and was able to cut off the bad bits and re-lace my shoes with the remainder of the shoelace. It's strange to me that they didn't include this as a warning but did have a big warning about leaving extra room on the laces just in case you made your shoes too tight. My advice, take it slow and keep the flame moving in and out, giving time for the shoelace to cool off and prevent any fires. Maybe test it on some scrap shoelace that you cut off. 2- The end bit that you're suppose to use on your shoelace tips looks awful. It's just cheap plastic that turns white when you bend it at the hinges. There are two 'styles' you can wear these shoelaces hidden or visible. Just do the hidden version, looks way better

I absolutely LOVE these Xpand no-tie shoelaces! They r better than I had hoped. I didn’t even know that they had no-tie shoelaces existed, bc I have never seen them at my local sporting good store sneaker department. But a couple weeks back I was browsing the web when I stumbled on an article that mentioned no-tie shoelaces. My interest was especially piqued bc I’m currently going three days a week for physical therapy on my knee, and I have to take off and put on my sneakers multiple times during every exercise session. It was kind of nuisance w regular shoelaces, so I checked out my options on Amazon. I looked at a number of shoelaces including the No-lock laces, but after reading how the Xpand no-tie shoelaces worked, and the positive customer reviews, plus watching the VIDEO from the manufacturer that explains exactly how the no-ties function (so definitely watch the video; it’s up top by the other photos of the shoelaces!). Moreover, the fact that these shoelaces come in amazing 44 different colors was what also sold me, bc my workout sneakers are red Nikes and I thought matching them up w the right color shoelace might be a challenge. I need not have worried bc the manufacturer offers two red showlaces, one w a reflective pattern sewn into the laces, which looked cool, so much so that I definitely like the Xpand laces better than shoelaces that came w my sneakers. (See attached photo of my sneakers w the reflective red no-tie showlaces on them.) The showlaces come w an installation manual; however, I simply watched the manufacturer video again to best understand how to properly anchor the showlaces to the sneaker. You need to decide whether u want the anchors that hold the showlaces in place to be visible on the outside or in stealth mode and hidden on the inside of the sneakers. I opted for hidding the anchors just inside the sneaker bc I did not plan on having to adjust the length of the showlaces once I was done; however, opting for the anchors on the outside allows for to u to adjust the length of the showlaces, such as if u want to wear the laces tighter in your sneaker for whatever reason. It did not take me long to figure out the right length that allowed me to slide into my sneakers but still have a firm hold on my feet, enough that I could jog w them w no movement of my feet inside the sneaker. The manufacturer recommends that u leave the shoelaces a little longer the first day u wear your sneakers to make sure u have the best fit. I most decidably will be purchasing more of these Xpand no-tie shoelaces for another pair of sneakers and a pair of regular shoes bc the laces come in black. I also intend on introducing these no-ties to family and friends who I have doubt will be interested. In closing, I highly recommend these Xpand no-tie shoelaces. With so many different color laces from which to choose and at a price point of less than ten dollars, it is a bargain for the ultimate convenience and comfort that these no-tie showlaces offer the wearer. U will not be disappointed w this purchase. I promise!

I bought these for a pair of sneakers and this is now my go-to brand for turning shoes into slip-ons. They seem sturdy and are easy to put on, so long as you don't have difficulty lacing a shoe.

Works well. Will get more.

Super produkt Hat mir sehr geholfen als meine Hand gebrochen war

Me han sido de gran utilidad Ahora colocarme el calzado es más fácil y práctico

My son really liked it, thank you for a good product. I recommend.

I can’t imagine a shoe without these laces. Buy them once and you’ll never go back to the original laces again
