Fotenk No Tie Shoelaces for Kids and Adults - Waterproof Silicon Flat Elastic Athletic Running Shoe Laces with Multicolor for Sneaker Boots Board Shoes and Casual Shoes - 12pcs/PVC Box

First off, I really like the idea! I do like how they make my shoes look, and the ease of slipping my shoes off is great! And the reason I bought them. I am a firefighter/EMT and was looking for an alternative to laces for taking my shoes off when I need to wear my bunker gear.The pros -- once in place, they are very secure- makes your shoes look streamlined- come in lots of colors- very easy to slip your shoes offNow the unfortunate cons -- they are hard to get through the holes, but once again. Once they are in there, they are not coming out!- now the big one for me! Although they look good and when my foot isn't in there they look "tight". Once I start walking in them, they seem to be very, very loose! I have a wide foot, so one would think it wouldn't be an issue. I wish there was a way to tighten them.Long story short, I would recommend them. Just not for anything super active!

So very annoyed! These *look* like the Hickies type of laces. Those are one piece and have a button on one end and a loop on the other so it connects back to it's self. That is what I thought I was buying. These do not work the same way! The 'button' in the picture is fake! Completely decorative. This product is not one piece that attaches back to it's self it just has a large T shaped end that sticks down in the hole. This will not work for me and the product description was very misleading! Now I am out time and money as I have to order the correct ones. I am not a happy customer.

Two broke immediately. not very stretchy, so they really didn't solve my problem of wanting to be able to just slide my foot in.

This was a huge fail for me. I tried to install them into my gym sneakers.1) it took me foreverrrrrr to do it. It was very hard to pull it through each of the holes for the laces. My fingers hurt.2) Once I had them in I wore my sneakers around and I could feel the pieces inside the laces rubbing against the tongue of the shoe. Very very uncomfortable.3) it was so hard to get them out- I ended up just getting frustrated and cutting them off. Now they are in the garbage.Overall- Waste of money!

The oval red plastic middle accent pieces have all fallen out and lost after only 2 days of use by my 10 year old. The elastic laces are still holding the shoe like laces should but looks odd with the hole left in centers by missing accent pieces. I do not recommend buying until the design is upgraded.

These shoe laces look good. But that's were the pros end. I accidentally put them out of order and it was so difficult to take off from the shoes. So make sure you put them in the correct order! Second problem I had with them is that they stretch too much to be supportive, my foot was going everywhere. lastly the very top ones broke after the first week. I was using these for work and I bend down a lot so I guess that was too much stress for them.

Don't buy these! Couldn't even get them into the shoe without breaking one, then couldn't get them back out so I could return them. Each end of the 'shoelace' has a T-shaped bit that you're supposed to shove through the eyelet somehow. Good luck!!! Since one broke, they were useless, but when I tried to remove them there's no good way to do so beside cutting them out of the shoes. Get real Hickies instead and save yourself the hassle.

I put these in my shoes yesterday and wore the shoes today and all but one of the little gray circles in the middle came out on one of my shoes. I have no idea when/where they came out since I was walking around all day. I would not suggest buying these.
