Same. But, I'd be open to an alternative... If someone had something better. I do find the lock doesn't lay as flat as they show in the Pic, and it can dig into my instep a bit. Not a big deal until mile 20 or so.

I buy two pair of swedish googles from swimout.com and use the bungie from those.

And I have two pair of goggles as well :)

I use these. HICKIES - No Tie Elastic Shoelaces
The only issue I have is that you have to be a bit creative with high insteps. In my race shoes, I only use one "lace", 2 or 3 eyelets down from the top.

Xtenex...if you want to drop the coin and go through the setup. Getting them adjusted is a chore, but once it's done, you're set.

TBH though, most uppers are so stretchy these days I just use the stock laces and can easily pull on the shoes. Haven't tied laces on a pair of shoes for a training run or race in years.

Is there a type of elastic laces that stays very tight? I've tried a few different brands and they all feel kind of sloppy. I don't think I like my shoes too terribly incredibly tight, but tight enough that my feel basically don't move in them. Like a level that would be uncomfortable to wear all day for sitting at the office.

I love the idea of elastic laces. It just feels like I'm losing more time by my shoes slopping around than gained by not tying regular shoelaces.

   I have my easy laces from many years ago also but they are worn out. Xtenex are okay but I found some that i prefer. A little bit of setup but pretty easy to use and very low profile. Look for anan520 elastic laces on Amazon.

+1 for xtenex

For this exact reason. I developed The Gripp speed lock. keeping the stability and adjustment of laces. it's currently in it's beta testing phase at the moment. I am getting good feedback

You can tighten the previously mentioned Lock Laces up pretty tight. Like you said I run with my shoes tighter than I would for daily use but I can tighten Lock Laces up too tight, but they're easy enough to loosen a bit.
