This seems like a new spin on an old product. I’ve been using Lock Laces in all my race shoes & at $7.99 a pair (free delivery via Amazon Prime), it’s more economical than these which come out to about $9 per pair if you can get by with just one set of the all sizes bungee kit & 5 sets of the cores. It also assumes that the individual bungees & cores do not break or need to be replaced.
So my question is, what makes these better than something like Lock Laces? As for your comments:
- Once I adjust lock laces like a normal shoe lace, they stay in place & fit my foot perfectly. Plus, I can lace my shoes however I see fit for optimal pressure, relief, or to prevent slippage.
- I assume this is a reference to regular laces. If you have that much lace left over after properly tying your shoes, you are doing it wrong.
- I agree that it’s a clean look, but I’m also not really concerned with the cleanliness of my footwear. Have you seen some of the crap we run through?
- Who moves their laces from one shoe to the other? If I put these in one shoe, and take the time to make sure the lengths are right, I am not taking them out & moving them to another shoe.
I think your product is cool, but I can’t see how it’s really better than what’s already out there now and at a cheaper price.
I definitely move my laces from one shoe to the next. Life of a not super well off triathlete, I guess. For me it would probably be much faster to move over. If you don’t move, and you are regular user with the same pair of shoes you should just be able to pop new ones off and put them right in and not have to worry about sizing. They come on a nice piece of cardboard and each size is stacked, I think 10 of each, so you should be able to tell what size you used for previous shoes.
