Would these be appropriate for basketball shoes?

I would not use this for basketball shoes. They are more work book boots. I believe you would be quite uncomfortable with them in basketball shoes.

No they are a thin round lace therefore may be uncomfortable in a basket ball shoe

I'm sure they'd work, probably eat up your shoe eyelets before they'd ever break. They're like steel cord, real ridged and tough.

I think these would work fine for basketball shoes. If using while playing basketball, just make sure you tighten each row of the laces after you put your shoes on. I wouldn't use these if you're a "I'll just slip on my tied shoes" kind of person.

I do not know for certain as we are using them over wrestling shoes. However, my thoughts would be a)contact the vendor or b)if they are NOT metal spikes I would give it a try...if they are metal spikes I wouldn't think so. Just my thoughts though.

I think it might. I have done repairs on sneakers. My take: worth a shot since cheap and uggs are not.

probably... but depending on the material of shoes, it could possibly damage wear down the finish.

Sure. It would definitely do the trick. However, I would recommend another product that would work better for that goal. I would use Huberd's Shoe Grease, if it's black leather.

Yes they can. They do take up a little space in your shoes of course but they work well. I find them to be quite comfortable and they help.

The little plastic disks with two holes in them are spring loaded to bite down onto whatever is inserted through the holes, and they are separate from the laces themselves. So, yes, it should work as long as you can get your laces threaded through them (the holes are probably about 3/16" when open, so I think most shoelaces would fit).

Yes, but I would advice against it. Given that the sole of the shoe will wear-out the bottom elastic band at a much faster rate. I don't think it will last for long, specialy if your going to use the guards during bag work.

Not sure. I gave this as a gift. I guess it would also depend on the size of the shoes.

Absolutely. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever used with my shoes on. There are cuff-like brackets for your feet, and so you can adjust to be sure they're snug enough that you don't slip out! (and not uncomfortable either).

Yes. They would work well as plain old shoe trees. They do not work as shoe stretchers.
978985
Yes, I am sure that would work, Just let it dry completely. I sometimes just spray on the outside of the shoe, too.

Absolutely. If they are leather. I repaired a beautiful pair of shoes. Make sure you don't skip putting on clear coat. My shoe repair is literally undetectable.

I don't use them to stretch the length of the shoe, and I'm not sure these would work well for that. They are rather flimsy.

That I dont know, since I used them while barefoot. Probably will, if the shoes are low profile like soccer shoes not bulky basketball like shoes.

I used them on my running shoes, but I had a considerable length that I had to cut off the end of the laces. I believe they would work on hiking boots.

My daughter is 9 yrs old and they fit her. Yes, she uses hers for basketball
