Synch Bands No Tie ShoeLaces- Elastic Tieless Shoe Laces with Clips for Adults and Kids, Sneakers & Shoes

There are several brands on the market that are elastic shoes lace systems. Some are individual strips, some are round-ish laces, some are over thought designs, and then there's SYNCH. This is the easiest system to use, PERIOD. Lace them up, tighten to your preference and never, EVER tie your shoes again. I have these in every pair of my lace up shoes. Casual shoes, VANS, TOMS, LEMS (zero drop running shoes). Buy the longer laces and trim to fit. I can't believe it took human this long to come up with this idea. Kudos to SYNCH!!!

I have a pair of On Running sneakers that I adore and they come pre-laced with slip on laces. My lazy brain has adjusted to not needing to tie my sneakers, so when I purchased a new pair of New Balance running sneakers this weekend and had to bend over to tie them I was instantly exhausted. I came to Amazon to fix the problem and these elastic laces came highly recommended. When they arrived I watched the video and unlaced my new sneakers prepared to re-lace them into the future. Yeah, that did not happen. First, Synch Bands are not made for running sneakers. They may be terrific for simple canvas kicks, but more complicated sneakers do not work. The bands get twisted and are nearly impossible to flatten and then will not tighten. Also, the Synch Bands are just barely long enough to fit through the holes in running sneakers. There are 7 holes on each side and my foot is a size 8 and the medium size was JUST long enough to thread to the top. Once the bands were in we simply could not get the elastic to tighten correctly. Running sneakers must have smaller lace threads because the laces immediately folded in half and while pulling one side to tighten the other side would stretch out and loosen. We took the Synch Bands out and put the original laces back in. Apparently I should have just purchased velcro running shoes.

I attempted to shorten the string as described, and even watched the videos mentioned to make sure I did it right, but each only mentioned the task and never showed how to do it. I know it seems direct, but I’m going to assume there’s a special way to do it because once you cut the string, even if you singe the end, it slips back through the eye of the stopper with ease. So, I attempted to melt the stopper onto the string to help keep it in place. So far, that’s working. The color wasn’t exactly what I expected, but it’ll do. The strings tend to very thin when trying to lace up or even slightly tighten which makes them look sort of funky.Tip: Pull the string taught on one side, then lace down that once side and only after go up the other side—instead of lacing them up, simultaneously. This helps you avoid loosening/tightening up and down, perfectly.For me, there may be a different product that works better.

I had trouble figuring out how to install the laces. The directions on the back of the package were dark and hard to read. I was frustrated and about to just return them, but I decided to contact customer service first. They replied quickly and I was told they were aware of their packaging problems and were in the process of correcting it. I was also told that there was a tutorial idea on their website (Good to know!), but I was encouraged to write them back if I had any more questions.So I kept the laces and I am glad I did! Once I figured out how to install them, they really work great. They are a gorgeous color too and the price is very affordable.

I had some surgery on my hip and couldn't lean down to put on my shoes, let alone tie them. I was freaked out about my shoes coming untied during the last 9 weeks when leaning down hasn't really been an option so I found these. These are WAY better than those ugly rubber things. These look mostly like real laces and are still adjustable even though it's a little bit of a pain after they're already installed. I highly recommend these!

I bought these for my mom so here’s her review:I honestly never bother to write reviews but I love these! I bought them because I have difficulty bending over to tie my shoes. I own a few pairs of slip on type of backless tennis shoes but they really are not good for when I go for my walks to exercise. I am so happy that I bought Synch Bands, they have solved my problem. Now I am able to slip my sneakers on and my foot remains securely in the shoe. Also they are a synch :) to take off and they don’t even need to be re-adjusted. I would highly recommend!

My only "complaint" is that the eyelets on some Vans are smaller than those on Chucks and shoving the metal bracket of the laces through can be kinda difficult. Otherwise, these things have saved me so much time and annoyance.

These look amazing without the hassle of having them come undone or that they are too long. Got them for my son and then my husband wanted them too. Before I knew it we have replaced all our shoes with laces with these. Especially great for teens that are running out the door without having tied their shoes! Highly recommend them. Oh, and they are easy to install!

Love these. Bought them to wear with Converse All Star as I didn't want oodles of laces poking out the sides or tucked into the shoe as it's too uncomfortable. So these are perfect - they don't look as nice as the softer Converse laces (these ones look elastic on close inspection) but in all honesty you don't really notice this when walking around. They hold nicely in place and has turned my Converse into slip ons.

I have had a few pairs of these now, as they have taken away the stress of getting my Autistic sons shoes/trainers to 'feel right' every time he put his shoes on. An absolute must if you have a daily battle getting your child's shoes on. At last daily struggles with shoe laces are a thing of the past!

12 year old son loves them as although he can tie his laces, he still prefers this elastic ones as he can just slip his trainers on without spending time having to tie them. I wasn't quite sure how to apply the disc on them (we all tried but failed) so I just ended up not using it and tying a knot at the end of each lace. Works fine.

Ordered these for my 7 yar okd autistic sin for his school trainers as he cant tie laces. We got a small for a size 11 kids trainer there a great fit and look smart

These laces worked brilliantly and now my favourite trainers just slip on and off when I need to wear them.No more undoing laces, adjusting and retying....My feet just slip straight in!Make sure you buy the right size otherwise there is too much excess of the elastic. Mistake I made with my first purchase.The only thing is I wish they looked closer to normal laces but it's not a great issue unless you look close up :)Lovely!
