Xpand Round Lacing. Elastic No Tie Shoelaces - Quick Release Tension Control - One Size Fits All Adult and Kids Shoes

I used to buy slip in shoes until I bought these laces. They are easy to use and allows me to purchase the shoes I enjoy wearing while having the convenience of a slip on shoe.

Work great and very durable. I put them on all my hiking boots

Overall I am satisfied so far. I paired these with some new trail shoes and have only gone for a couple runs on both. I am finding it slightly difficult to find a balance between the tightness of each shoe (again, maybe related to breaking the new shoes in as much as breaking in the laces). I am not in love with the locking mechanism as it is an open enclosure. I can forsee that causing problems on long trail runs. Probably just a personal preference, and the lock has not actually failed, but I did end up buying a closed 3rd party lock button system. The laces are secure but allow for movement and flexibility. Good price point. As easy to install as most standard shoelaces. Would consider again!

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 shoes 3) 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 range With such treatment they tend to loosen after many trips, but a few second easy readjustment fixes that. They never become untied like traditional laces and seem very durable, unlikely to break.

Not easy to use. . .instructions are limited and unclear. . .other options are better.

Before this on some of my shoes I use Lock Laces, which are a good idea and seem like a good product still, but the locking part seems to protrude out more which means that the bottom of my pants don't as easily wrap around the shoe. This Xpand lock design doesn't come out as much but rather sits more flush on the shoe tongue. Also if I recall they claim that it's stronger locking. From what I can tell so far it seems to be a better design. Either way you go, these no tie systems seem good, for my needs at least, especially if you wear some kind of shoe around the house or for whatever reason have to frequently put your shoes on and off. Also, not sure if the elasticity of the laces help a bit with wearing comfort.

The laces are thin, around half the diameter of the originals. The locking mechanism is difficult to put on and not easy to use.
