Product Review: "Speed Laces" - never tie your shoes again!
Now that my hands have been giving me more problems than usual, I was finding it very hard to lace and tie my sneakers. I hated the idea of not wearing my favorite sneakers, but I didn't think I had any other option.
I found speedlaces.com and saw a simple solution.
This little lacing tool was originally made for the runner or sports enthusiast in mind, but I immediately saw how this product could help me too. Speed Laces moves lacing to the surface of the shoe, instead of pushing laces in and out of the tiny lace holes. I found it quick and simple to install and once the "clips" were in place, I could easily maneuver the cord laces around them. The cord lock made tension adjustments in order to make the sneakers lighter or looser. I will never have to tie or worry about a shoe lace coming undone again! My shoes slipped on and off effortlessly. This was such a quick fix for an every day annoyance.
I would highly recommend speedlaces to anyone who has problems tying their shoes or to any parent or caregiver.
IBungee laces are also available from this site. They are the same concept but do not include the fittings on the shoes for the strings to go around. With the IBungee laces you have to manually put them through the holes. The custom cord-lock holds laces securely & adjusts instantly for a comfortable snug fit. The special bungee lace allows users to slip shoes on and off like a loafer. I think the variety of colors are great and depending on the severity of your disability, then you might want to just get these instead of the whole set.
IBungee laces fit most shoe types and are available in three colors and sizes.
