Silicone No Tie Shoe lace for kids, shoelace fits for most kinds of running shoes sporting shoe, lazy shoe lace time saver

These are actually really cool, I seen it on a youtube video of things everyone should have to make you life easier. So the silicon based product is amazing and stretches quite well. Although these were made in China, lets see if we can get these made over here and support our own. Overall easy to install on most of my shoes, sneakers with the smaller material holes are harder and require more pulling, but dont worry, the Silicon hold up well, I only broke 1 because i was pulling really really hard.

My 10 year old has autism and still hasn't grasped tying his shoes yet. And he is getting to the age where Velcro shoes look silly on him and kids his age can be mean so I am always keeping my eyes open for different ideas. I saw these and had to try them. My only worry is that he wears a medic alert on his laces and that if it these fall off I have to pay for a new medic alert. So far they have worked pretty well.putting them on took a bit of time, but hopefully that means they won't fall off. The ends are like arrows, so if you think of those like three fingers I took two fingers put them together and stuck them in a hole then I was able to pull a bit and get it thru without much trouble and without breaking it. And remember to start at the bottom it will make it much easier. The little white buttons pop off which makes it easy to put it thru the loop in the tongue if you want. I also made a hole in the loop and put the button back in. But my son said one of the buttons kept falling off all day at school and he kept having to put it back on so I think I will try super gluing them so they don't fall out. I was glad the buttons came off though because then I was able to push his medic alert onto it and it fit just right.UPDATE: my son has been wearing his shoes now for a few weeks and right away the little white buttons started falling out at school. I had two extra at home so I glued them all on and still two fell out again at school. They still work fine without them, they just look funny. I would not buy these again unless they could fix this problem.
