Who among us has not been annoyed by slippery, all-nylon nightmares [shoelaces] that refuse to stay tied? What to do? Fight back and buy replacement laces. For a high-tech option, there’s Lock Laces™ to keep your sneakers tied."

Lock Laces™ are great for running, working out and other activities The unique lacing system keeps shoes tied so you don’t have to worry about those dreaded double knots. The elastic laces give a firm yet flexible fit of the shoe on your foot."

Many bad things can happen during a race. Stomach problems, tight hamstrings, a flat tire- the list is endless. One of the most frustrating is having your shoelaces come untied. A simple way to eliminate that problem forever is Lock Laces™; they will never come undone. Now, with Lock Laces™, you have one less thing to worry about."

You can double or triple knot your laces, but they still unravel. Lock Laces™ solve that annoying, and potentially dangerous problem. “They also save precious time in the transition areas at triathlons and adventure races.” mentioned one of our race-savvy testers. Lock Laces™are an innovative time-saver and costs less than two lattes, plus they clean up easily after muddy runs. We’re putting them on all of our shoes!"

Snappy Lock Laces™ keep your feet firmly in place. Lock Laces™ come with a neat slide down plastic device that allows you to lock the elastic laces at the desired tension. They enable you to shove your feet straight into your running shoes without the need to tie laces. No more tying knots or struggling to get your feet into your racers."

Lock Laces™ are unique because they use a traditional lacing scheme with specialized laces. The exception is a locking mechanism in place of a traditional knot. Sound simple? It is and it's effective. That’s part of the reason I like them."

I think Lock Laces™ are great. I put them on my trail shoes, which I use for long runs. I put 19 miles on them last Friday and they seemed to feel much more comfortable. It’s almost as if they assist the shoe in adhering to the foot of the user."

Would it be nice if you didn't have to worry about tying and double knotting laces only to wrestle with untying them later? Lock Laces™ eliminates the struggle all together… within minutes after installing my Lock Laces™; I could immediately notice the improved overall fit of my running shoes... I could feel the support in my arches as I was running and the elastic laces provided me with flexibility and eliminated any heel slippage."

Fed up with shoelaces that won’t stay tied? Perhaps you struggle just to tie a bow. Either way, Lock Laces™ will solve your problem. It’s easy to use, it works on a spring-loaded press release and the laces are round and elastic! With Lock Laces™ your shoes fit more comfortably and they keep everything neat on your feet. No more untied laces!"

Lock Laces™ save time and guarantee that your laces won’t come undone at an inopportune moment. The advantages over normal shoelaces? They’re extremely snug and balance tension throughout the shoe. Now you can go one step further with these lockable, elastic laces."

Lock Laces™ have a very comfortable feel, with the overall appearance being quite similar to normal shoelaces. Lock Laces™ gave me a much snugger fit than my shoelaces, but they also allowed for my feet to expand when I'm running long distances."

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!"

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!!"

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."

My goal as Team Captain is to find innovative products that help us go faster with less concerns race day. Lock Laces™ are one of those such products that allow you to put on your shoes and forget about them. You'll have faster transitions and ZERO worry about whether or not you'll trip over your shoelaces. Lock Laces™ are quick, easy and a life saver in those grueling races. 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."

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."

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!"

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

After a knee injury and surgery 6 years ago, I am now using orthodics in my shoes. I wear them so that I can continue hiking, gardening, and have an active lifestyle without my knee swelling. The orthodics work for me, but I spend too much time tying and untying my laces switching the orthodics from shoe to shoe. Lock Laces™ satisfied my impatience quite nicely!"

I have a mild form of Cerebral Palsy and as a result, the fingers on my left hand have limited dexterity. Tying shoelaces is not easy for me and even when I do tie them they invariably come untied. One alternative I tried is Velcro, but they are so obvious and childlike. Lock Laces™ works the best as they appear like normal lacing yet give me the luxury of not having to tie or untie them."

I recently had hip replacement surgery. Because of this, I am not allowed to bend over or risk possible dislocation of the joint. With Lock Laces™, I no longer depend on my wife to keep my shoes tied. The convenience alone is worth the cost of the laces. The thing I like best about Lock Laces™is they're elastic. With regular shoelaces, my feet begin to ache, but not anymore. You will be getting another order from me and for the rest of my family!"

I got a pair of Lock Laces™ for my son who plays little league baseball and a pair for myself. My son’s cleats are easier to put on and take off now that I don’t have to tie and untie double knots anymore. They always stay in place and don’t ever come undone during his games. For me, they make my shoes fit tight to my feet the way I like them but they feel more comfortable and not constrained. I don’t even like wearing regular shoelaces anymore."

I have an artificial left knee and can't tie my left shoe because my knee doesn't bend enough. My grandson had sent me a pair of your Lock Laces™. I tried them out today and they work great. I just ordered 4 more pair from you for my other shoes too! Your product performs well and I highly recommend them to people with arthritic joints. My grandson no longer has to tie my left shoe anymore!"

I saw your website for Lock Laces™ and I decided to try them out. I bought a pair for me and for my son who is physically challenged. I love mine; they work as advertised and fit just right. No more frayed laces for me. My son is now able to slip his shoes on and off without even touching his laces. Lock Laces™ always look neat and presentable on his shoes. Untied shoes are a thing of the past for both of us."

I purchased two pairs of Lock Laces™ for my 7 year old twin daughters and they [Lock Laces™] are fantastic, both girls love them! Lock Laces™ save me time as I scramble to get the girls out the door each morning for school. My girls are hard on their shoes and so far Lock Laces™are holding up well. Thanks for a great product."

I was having carpal tunnel surgery and was looking on the Internet for a way to still wear my sneakers without tying them. I exercise 5 times a week and walking is one of my exercises. I read the testimonials from runners and walkers on your web site and thought this was the way to go. The Lock Laces™ worked wonderfully. Thanks for making this product."

I purchased Lock Laces™ for my 5-year-old son who has low muscle tone in his hands and is having trouble tying his laces. While the coily laces are marketed hard to kids, for boys, they are a little too cutesy. Your product is perfect, and does not call attention to the laces. There are lots of kids out there who are relegated to wearing Velcro shoes, which look awkward after a certain age. Lock Laces™ would be a great product for them! I also ordered some for my whole family!"

After watching my daughter get off the school bus every day with her laces untied, I knew it was time to do something. I’m always afraid she’ll trip over her laces and fall flat on her face. I searched all over and finally found Lock Laces™ on the Internet. Problem solved, your product is the best. I never have to see her shoes untied again."

I had cut my hand severely and required stitches. Because of my mishap, I only had one hand to function with. I live by myself so I didn’t have anyone who could have tied my shoelaces for me. Lock Laces™ helped me tremendously. I was able to put my shoes on and take them off with my one good hand. I never thought they would be so useful."

Lock Laces™ worked well instantly for me. I put them in once and never had to touch them again. I thought my shoes might be too loose with "stretchy" laces but they always feel perfectly snug. Lock Laces™ are the ultimate lace system for me!"

My 12-year old daughter was going to run in a Girl Scout "Tryathlon" and was told by a friend that Lock Laces™ were a real advantage. She loves them! She likes her shoes laced tightly and with Lock Laces™, they don't hurt when she walks or runs. I found your website useful because the testimonials discussed the advantages of the laces for different users. We have not been disappointed. I also appreciated that the shipping fee was reasonable too."

I am scheduled for rotator cuff surgery so my Lock Laces™ will make it possible to do “two-handed” things with one hand. When my right arm is immobilized for 2-3 months, putting my shoes on won’t be a problem when I want to be able to jog and do other activities. Although you market primarily to the athletic crowd, you may want to extend your marketing to the "independent living" or "mobility impaired" folks too. They would be interested in Lock Laces™ and would not be looking at sports-related websites to find it."

I commute everyday on the MARC Train and have to walk 8 blocks to my job so I wear jogging shoes to and from work. I love Lock Laces™! It’s so nice not having to worry about double-tying my laces, or for that matter, even having shoelaces anymore. I just slip my jogging shoes on and go. It's really a wonderful idea; I’m going to tell all my friends about Lock Laces™."

I heard about Lock Laces™ from a friend who regularly competes in triathlons. I decided to buy them for my son who has Cerebral Palsy. Because of his condition, he has very little strength and control in his left hand. They [Lock Laces™] have been a godsend. I have encouraged other parents of children with similar disabilities to try Lock Laces™ as well. I know your product is aimed at people who run and compete in sports, but for disabled children they are wonderful."

I first bought Lock Laces™ because I thought it was a great idea since I’m always wearing sneakers. When I became pregnant I realized another advantage of having Lock Laces™. Being pregnant, I couldn’t bend over to tie my laces because of my big stomach! With Lock Laces™ I can just slip my sneakers on now, it’s so much easier that way."
