Not sure how many of you have seen them before, but this is a little product that I've been using in my running shoes since 1998 when I competed in Triathlons.

They are called Easy Laces. Elastic laces that keep your shoes a constant tightness, and never come untied.

They say they come in 30 different colors.

I still haven't found a con for using them. They make putting on and taking off your running shoes a snap. Try them out.

    They aren't too tight are they or can you put them at what tightness you need? I need to keep my laces super lose when I run or during my runs my shoes start feel super tight if I don't.

    You set them up as tight or loose as you want them. I skip one of the upper eyelets so the main part of the shoe is tight, but not too tight across the top pf my arch.

    You loosen the clip to take them on/off, and then cinch down the ends to tighten them up when you're ready to run. They are super quick to install and set up.

    Huh, I never thought of how useful these would be for runners - I know they are around, but my experience with elastic shoe laces has been with people with a disability who can't tie laces and need slip on shoes :smile:
    My laces often come undone if I don't make the effort to double tie them, so I should look out for these.
