Lock Laces No-Tie Elastic Shoelaces — Red, 48-inch
Product description
No-tie lacing system: Converts traditional lace-up footwear into easy slip-on shoes. Each set contains one pair of elastic laces, two cord locks and two end clips intended to finish and protect the trimmed lace ends. One pair of Lock Laces is intended to lace a single pair of shoes.
Stretch fit comfort: The cords are constructed from six-strand elastic fibers measuring approximately 0.22 cm in diameter. The factory length is 48 inches, and the material can extend to about 72 inches when stretched, giving a snug but flexible hold that adapts to foot movement and swelling.
Originally made for triathletes to speed transitions, the system is also useful for seniors with limited hand dexterity, people with disabilities, children on the autism spectrum, runners, and day-to-day users who want a more convenient shoe experience. The elastic construction reduces pressure points and eases repeated use.
Simple installation and sizing: One size fits most youth and adult shoes; setup is quick and reversible. Directions and demonstration videos are available to walk through the threading, locking, and end-trimming steps. After setting the preferred tension, trim excess cord and secure with the included end caps.
Durability guarantee: Lock Laces are backed to last for the working life of one pair of lace-up tennis shoes. They are intended to withstand regular wear and provide a reliable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional laces.

Most dependable no-tie laces I’ve used
I’ve used these for years on everything from trail boots to gym shoes. The build survives mud and cold better than standard laces, and they’re simpler to re-tension on a hike. I favor neutral colors and carry spare pairs for new shoes so they’re ready immediately.

Perfect for runners who need varied tension
I need different tension at the toe, arch, and top—these hold multiple tensions well and stay put. Shoes go on and off easily. Keep the removal instructions handy, since the end anchors can stretch a bit over time.

Good swap for standard laces
Makes tennis shoes slip on easily. Durable, simple to thread, and available in many colors. You can trim and cap the excess to prevent fraying and get just the fit you want.

Made my Hokas effortless to wear
Installed these on my Hoka running shoes and they transformed them into true slip-ons. No more knotting every time—easy on/off with a secure, comfortable stretch. Once tightened correctly they hold well and still let the shoe flex naturally. A small change that improved daily routine.

A. Gupta 4/5
Solid performance with one small issue
These laces allow both easy slip-on use and on-the-fly tightening, which sets them apart. They behave more like elastic cord than fabric and keep the foot secure. I did find a minor fitting quirk that required a slightly different threading technique, but it’s an easy workaround.

They really do what they promise
Easy to run through shoes and adjust with the locking mechanism. Tighten or loosen with a quick tug. Best suited to athletic shoes; I chose black and it matched perfectly. Solidly performed as advertised.

No-pressure fit for hiking
These removed the tight spot across the top of my feet. I now use them on all my hiking and lace-up footwear for more comfort.

Absolutely love them for running
I use two sets in my running shoes and they’re fantastic. Set them once to your preferred tightness, trim the excess and cap the ends, and you’re done. They allow slight adjustment for thicker socks or braces and never loosen while I run.
