Lock Laces™ Reviews

Lock Laces™ Athletic Endorsements

“Every extra second you spend in T2 is a second faster you have to run per mile to keep your current position. Lock Laces™ can help you get in and out of transition fast enough to even gain time. I have been using Lock Laces™ for 2 years now with no problems whatsoever, and they have never come loose during a race. The other lacing systems are more complex than actually lacing shoes themselves. I recommend Lock Laces™ above any other ‘quick lacing system’ out there.” - Joe Gambescia, Triathlete / Denver, Colorado
"I have found Lock Laces™ to be invaluable for Trail Ultra-Marathons. They provide a "glove-like" fit without being too restrictive. In one of the marathons I ran, it rained all day and water rushed down the trails like a stream. The Lock Laces™ were unfazed, the fit stayed the same and to my surprise- no blisters! I’ve run races in rain, sleet and in 6 inches of fresh snow yet again and again Lock Laces™ allowed my feet to remain comfortable. I can’t ever imagine running without them now." - Kurt Barkley, Ultra-Marathoner / Hickory, North Carolina
"I put Lock Laces™ in my racing shoes and was impressed by how comfortable they are. They feel tighter but yet the elastic laces flex when I’m running. I can just slip my running shoes on and it is as though my shoes aren’t even on my feet. In my last triathlon, I totally eliminated my transition time. I didn’t have to fumble with my shoelaces going from cycling to running shoes. In the past, I would at times, hastily tie my shoelaces during transition only for them to come untied during my run. The utmost advantage I found to be was that Lock Laces™ never come undone, period." - Chuck Odonnell, Triathlete / Team Tri-Animals- Burke, Virginia
"The feature I particularly like about Lock Laces™ is the elasticity of the laces. Once I laced my shoes up and adjusted the fit, I could slip my shoes on and off very easily. There were no stops on long runs to tie laces and there was nothing dangling or flip-flopping, my shoes looked neat and compact. This may not be a problem for most runners but I live on Mt. Hood and this time of the year it is wet when I run. So, I also like the fact that Lock Laces™ are water-resistant." - Mary V. Jones, Runner / Mt. Hood, Oregon
“I have been using Lock Laces™ since my first marathon in New Orleans in Jan' of 05 (3:35) and have since trained and ran two more ING Ottawa in 05 (3:30) and Disney 2006 (3:14:54). As you can see I'm inching my way towards Boston, I'm 29 so I need 3:10. With all the training, I've logged over 3000 miles and I have NEVER had to stop to tie my shoes. I'm sure you understand how nice that is. I usually buy 5 to 10 at a time as they go into every pair of running shoes I own. You have a great product!! - Ryan Sterling, Marathon Runner / Abilene, Texas
"I put a pair of Lock Laces™ in my lacrosse cleats for this season. They give the tightest support imaginable and I don't have to worry about them coming untied. Lock Laces™ also maintained their fit during my games. The fact that Lock Laces™ are also water-resistant is a dream come true for those "Mud Bowl" games in the early spring season." - Thomas Langan, Lacrosse Player / Arlington, Virginia
“I purchased a pair of Lock Laces™ from a vender at the Gulf Coast Triathlon back in May. I was so impressed by their comfort and performance that I purchased another pair from your website to wear in my shoes that I used for Ironman Brazil. I am a USAT coach and recommend Lock Laces™ to all of my clients. Thanks for making a great product.” - Matthew Chauvin, Triathlete / League City, Texas

We highly recommend Lock Laces™ to anyone who is concerned about their performance and wants a quality product. Thank you Lock Laces™ for producing a superior product with lasting power." -"Earring" Doug Judson, Team Captain of Esprit de Corp adventure racing team / Hood River, Oregon
“I saw a vendor selling Lock Laces™ at a triathlon race packet pick-up. I was stubborn and unsold due to being used to tying double knots. However, on race day my hands were so cold coming off the bike that I could barely tie the knots to tighten my shoes to the fit I wanted. I wasted a minute in transition trying to do it. After the race I saw at least 3 people wearing Lock Laces™ and all of them spoke of how fabulous they are! My husband and I were happy to make the switch. Thanks for a fantastic product!” - Christine Jones, Triathlete / Vienna, Virginia
"I run about 25-30 miles a week in all types of weather. When it rained my old cotton laces would soak up the water and make my shoes feel awkward on my feet, not to mention how hard it is to untie a wet double knot. Now, with Lock Laces™, it does not matter what kind of weather I run in. TheLock Laces™ stay snug on my feet and have the same “feel” throughout my run. The elastic laces flexes to my foot’s every movement." - Steve Noppenberger, Runner / Boston, Massachusetts
"As you know, fast transitions are important in triathlon. It always seemed like I lost precious time during this critical point of the race. Your Lock Laces™ practically eliminated my transition time. I truly believe that Lock Laces™ helped me win “1st Place Overall” at Spud Triathlon. Thanks!” -Tom Biery, Triathlete / Baltimore, Maryland
