| Lock Laces - Shoelaces you never tie | ¦ back |
|
Lock Laces!™ are an all-new, patented* 'elastic
shoelace and locking system' that feature specially designed elastic
laces combined with a spring activated locking device. Lock Laces
can be worn with all types of athletic shoes for sports or casual
use.
Fed up with shoe laces that won't stay tied? Or perhaps you just struggle to tie a bow! Either way the Lock Laces from the 1000 Mile stable could solve your problem. While the locking system is nothing really new - it works on a simple, spring-loaded, push release - the actual laces are round and.... elastic! The idea is the elastic provides a snug fit and means the lace length can be considerably reduced, keeping everything neat. There's a choices of eight lengths to suit all types of shoe from men's eight eyelet (34in long) down to kids' four eyelet (24in) in black or white. All sizes sell at £4.99. - Athletics Weekly April 2000 You already know how lace locks save time and guarantee that your laces won't come undone at an inopportune moment. Now you can go one step further with lockable elasticated laces. The advantages over normal laces? You can tighten a shoe up even faster because they pull through lace loops quickly, they're extremely snug and they balance tension. They also come with better-quality lace locks than normal. Down sides? It's easy to pull them too tight. - Todays Runner July 2000 "I found Lock Laces! to be very helpful. It is a great feeling not having to fight with the laces and knots every time I put my running shoes on. I also have a high instep and a tight lacing on the top of my foot bothers me. Lock Laces! took care of that problem too." - Everett Moulton, Runner / Eastern Region Director, Road Runners Club of America- Portland, Maine "I think they (Lock Laces!) are great. I put Lock Laces! 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." - Brooke Gardener, Editor / RaceCenter NW Magazine-Beaverton, Oregon "I put a pair of Lock Laces! in my lacrosse cleats for this upcoming season to try out. They give the tightest support imaginable and I don't have to worry about them coming untied... I was impressed by how Lock Laces 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 / Product Review for Dynamic Lacrosse.Net-Arlington, Virginia *U.S. Patent Number- 6,026,548 |
