Yankz!Laces - Elastic No Tie Shoelaces, One Size Fits All, No Tie Shoe Laces

Love the laces, they stay put, are comfy and make getting the shoes on and off quickly a breeze. The directions suck though. Lacing them in can be tricky. Nothing on the package but a website link that led to very unclear directions. The laces are so great I would use them as my "stocking stuffer" this year, but not until I have time to draw up my own instruction sheet, using the steps outlined below. The first shoe lacing can be a real pain, but when you get to the second shoe it will seem easy. Then you will start replacing the laces in all of your shoes. Does Goodwill take used shoe laces?1. Hold the laces with the large plastic clip facing down. Pull a loop about 1/2-2 inches out, and lock the clip to hold the loop by pushing up on the center plastic strip.2. Still with the logo facing down, start at the top of the shoe (by your ankle) and lace down to the bottom (if you have those little tabs to help hold the shoe tongue up, make sure that you lace through those as well.)3.) Once you have finished lacing down towards the toe of the shoe, hold the other little plastic clip with the wide base of the triangle towards the toe of the shoe. The grove in the little clip should be facing up. Put each lace through a hole on the wide end of the triangle and head them back up towards the top of the shoe (your ankle)again.4.) Pull each lace sharply out to the side to lock them into the little clip.5.) Go back to the loop at the top clip (near your ankle) and pull that loop down to the little clip. The top loop will fit in the groove of the little clip. The logo should then be facing up, and the top loop should stretch a bit to fit into the little clip on the lower loop.6.) Now the try the shoes on and tweak a bit until they are comfortably tight, but you can still easily slide the shoes off.8.) Take the laces that are sticking out at the bottom, and just tuck those loosely into the side of the shoe (under the sides that are laced.)9.) VERY IMPORTANT, wear the shoes for a few days and make sure that they fit comfortably. If not, adjust as needed.10.) Once you are sure that they are fit correctly, you can cut the end laces to make them shorter (but still long enough to tuck about 1/2 inch into the shoe sides.)11.) Before you tuck the cut laces, I would suggest that you paint each cut lace end with clear nail polish, and let it dry to prevent unraveling.

I Love these things. A pair of these came in a pair Merrells I bought. When I got my Merrell Moabs, I wad disappointed that they did not have the stretch laces. In fact I have worn them very little because of that. When I saw these, I wanted to order them right away. I held back because I have very large feet. Then I saw a review from a gtuy who said they worked in his 14s. So I decided to give them a try. I'm not gonna kid you. It took every inch of the lace, but they will actually close all six "eylets" on the Ankle High boots.As for quality, The fasteners work as advertised. THe elastic laces appear to be identical to the ones I have been wearing for the last 3 or 4 years. The shoes are almost gone, but the laces are still holding up.These laces are very comfortable. They provide good support without binding. One of the really nice things about this lacing system is that they seem to self adjust to the contours of your feet evening out the pressure so fewer lace burns.Please follow the instructions carefully. You will be disappointed if you cut too soon.

This is my probably my 14th pair. I've installed these on each of my running shoe pairs over the past few years. Doubt I'll ever run without them!

I picked these up for the my first triathlon and am very happy with them.Pros:* Fast shoe changes!* I didn't notice any slippage of my foot in the shoe, the shoe was on tight enough.Cons:* A little more difficult than normal laces to install on the shoes. Not a major problem, though.* The triangle plastic bit that locks the ends of the laces seems like it could come loose. I haven't experienced this, but it might be nice to have a little more instructions about how to really secure the ends of the laces.These laces are definitely keepers, I'm going to get extra pairs for my other running shoes and for when I have to get new shoes.

I bought my first Yankz about 8 years ago to use for easy transitioning during a triathlon. They are still going strong in a newer pair of shoes. For Christmas my husband and I got new running shoes so I bought us new Yankz for our new shoes. They really help keep a great, stretchy fit for my feet that swell a little when running. My husbands had a broken piece so I contacted the company and the next day they had a replacement piece in the mail. Excellent customer service!

I'm a triathlete and I use them on my running shoes. They help me get in and out of Transition quickly because time matters in my sport. Easy to thread through any sneakers and often outlast the life of the sneakers. I've have purchased them before in the past and I'm glad there are many colors to match my shoes. My fave are the reflective ones because been seen at night is always an advantage when doing overnight races. Thanks for a great product!

I bought these so I could use for a faster transition from bike to running in triathlons. I followed the instructions to get them on my running shoes--really quite easy and didn't take very long--and ran in them for the first time this morning. Wow! Shoes were easy to put on and easy to take off--almost like wearing slippers. And the hold was perfect during my 40 minute run. Great stuff. I'm going to have to purchase a couple more.

I have used Yankz elastic laces for years. Immediately upon getting new sneaks I order laces in a complementary color. So much easier on arthritic fingers than struggling with traditional laces. Easy to install in shoes and comfortable to wear.

Trop difficile ... 😡 j'ai perdu tout de suite le petit morceau plastique ... Donc lacets dans la boîte 😝
