Aiboxin Elastic No Tie Flat Shoe Laces for Sneakers, Tieless Shoelaces for Kids & Adults, Stretch Shoes Strings

UPDATE:This is my 6th purchase and these are awesome! I’ve never had to replace and they do NOT fringe or warp. The elastic keeps it shape too so I’ve never had to adjust even after many runs on the trail! Pro tips:1. Put the elastics in and wear your shoes a couple of days with just the elastics. They look like laces so no one will know and you can adjust for the right fit before cutting them off to install the plates2. Do NOT cut off the end of the elastics all the way to where you think you need them at. I cut to where I still have about 4 inches to work with before putting on the plates3. Put you shoes ON, double the elastic over (as shown in the supplied instructions) and then place your plate on. Screw the screw in to hold the plate. Do the other side the same way. Don’t worry about the extra elastic sticking out yet.4. Adjust the laces to make sure they connect as you wish, the plates lay in the center, etc. If you need to take up more elastic or move the laces around, remove the screw and adjust accordingly.5. Once you are completely satisfied, THEN cut off the extra elastic under the plates.If you cut off too much of the elastic at first, there is NO way to add it back on. Leaving the elastic a little long while you install them does not affect the install at all and allows for mistakes, especially when doing these for the 1st time.It IS tedious but if you follow these tips, you will want these in ALL your shoes with laces as they just look so much better too. I get sooo many compliments and it is so much easier to just slip on and go.Don’t hesitate to buy!!Well, I feel like I’ve earned a Masters degree in tieless shoelaces after installing these suckers. Definitely not easy. But I do like the finished product & the ease of slipping on my run abouts so if they last, definitely worth it. Just prepare yourself to take it slow & careful & definitely follow the instructions!

These laces with magnetic clip are AWESOME!! Easy to put on and look nice on my shoes. Get even a extra lace in case cut incorrectly.

These work well for me and have held up over 4 months. I prefer these over Hickies style for extra narrow feet. The laces themselves are easy to install. The metal clasps are trickier to install but seem secure once you get them. I used a pliers (gently) to get the metal tongue down in each metal clasp, which is what secures the lace. I would recommend leaving a little bit extra length on the ends - less than a half inch - just in case. I've been leaving the metal clip part open and I'm still able to walk comfortably. Color is cute.

Easy to set up.

When finally installed these laces are a great idea if you have trouble bending down to tie laces. But to ‘install’ the is an operation within itself. It’s a process of lacing up the elastic laces provided, putting on the shoe and marking the laces with a pencil (so you can erase them if needed) where you will soon cut. I later discovered that estimating how much lace you will need to put your foot into the shoe ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT WORK. You have to put the shoe on after lacing and before marking where you will cut! Then you remove the shoe and then cut and burn the end. While putting on or taking off the shoe watch where your mark goes. If it completely disappears in the eyes at the top; that’s where your clamp is going to be and that’s where you’ll be placing stress on your elastic laces. Using a 1 1/2 inch Phillips head screwdriver you will need to push the cut ends into a magnetic clamp. On the underside of each side of the clamp is a hole where you must screw in a tiny screw (about the size used for eyeglasses) into the clamp to hold the cut end of the elastic laces that you previously jammed into one side of the clamp. You must do this 4 times for each end of the lace.The lace stretches and the clamp is magnetic with a slightly raised part that clicks in place. When installed correctly they are neat and comfortable. They are not interchangeable, so buying several colors to exchange out with your outfits is not a great idea. Expect them to be permanent unless you cut them off or backtrack each step by unscrewing each screw and pulling the cut and burnt ends out of the clamp. If it sounds like an exercise in madness, it’s because it IS an exercise in madness. I purchased red, white and blue before I knew. The white laces are in a white pair of tennis shoes. The blue will go in my backup pair of KEDS and the red will be my emergency pair of laces. Because the laces are elastic (nylon) and not cotton, they should be more resistant to dirt.In the packet you also get extra screws, Phillips head screwdriver and instructions.The first photo is my mistake in not putting the shoe on to mark it.

I really wanted an easy way to take on and off my super high tops. I bought two packages of the laces so I could have enough length to be able to use the spiderweb lacing method and have enough magnet closures. I put one magnet set at the top and one at the bottom of each shoe. Worked like a charm! The boots go off and on easier than I expected and they feel comfortable on, perfect amount of snug. I'm so happy with the final result!!
