"Where have these been all my adult life?! These work far better than I had hoped."

As comfortable as sneakers are, tying shoelaces can be a real hassle for a number of reasons: bending over can be a struggle for people with limited mobility, or those with arthritis might have difficulty handling the laces, for example. Even for those who are up for the task, dealing with shoelaces coming untied or having to adjust the tightness can be annoying. Enter: Lock Laces, the elastic shoelaces that erase the need for tying your laces entirely.

Lock Laces can transform any pair of sneakers you have into slip-ons that won’t come undone, and the added compression keeps them feeling comfortable. Installation is a breeze: Just remove your shoes’ original laces, lace them up with the Lock Laces, and slide on the included lock to get the tightness right where you like it. (You can adjust the tightness if needed.)

Then, you trim off the excess amount of shoelace — you get 48 inches to work with — and attach the included clips onto the ends so the cut, raw edge doesn’t fray. You can cut the ends to be short enough to tuck in between the laces on the upper of your shoes so they’re not loose and waving around.
