Lock laces

[Terminal_Boy]

I’ve used the Lock Laces ones for a couple of years now on various pairs of Merrell MOABs etc. Much less faff in the morning when my old eyes and fingers are still half asleep and they don’t loosen off like the junk OEM laces Merrell supplies.

Very handy for regular air travellers when you need to remove them for security inspections and you can slacken then off during the flight at a press of a button.

Don't be a ****.

Could be any number of reasons why he can't tie laces. I broke my thumb and two fingers a few years back and some mornings I can't tie mine. Laces require a lot of dexterity which some injuries or conditions reduce.

You're right, I didn't think of that. Apologies OP! Shouldn't OcUK tired!

I don't know where the other posters got the fact I am old - Only reached 75 last month - old indeed - well not in my head.- The rest of me doesn't seem to do what my head wants it to do - no need to worry about fire brigade - I can spit on their station from my back garden.

Back to the point- been wearing them today and it's one of the best hacks I have done- A pair of lace up shoes has gone from no go to most comfortable pair of Toe Tektors I have ever had - so easy to put on and to release laces.

This changed my life.

As the title - Does anyone use these and do they work - I have two pair of work shoes I can't wear due to my stupid fingers not doing what I ask them to do. Tie laces.

Just get a pair of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00667RFK4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Been using them for years, when walking they hold shoes/boots tied as firmly as regular laces but when force is applied they stretch turning any shoes/boots into slip ons

Rather amusingly, this is one of the reasons that I like zip up boots.. I tie the laces once, and then just use the zips
