When you tie the lace, how well does the knot stay tied? I've experienced many laces that come untied easily. How are these?

They come untied quite easily until they are worn in and softer/ flexible. Until then use a double knot!

They don't stay tied as well as normal shoes laces, but I have yet to have them come untied while wearing them.

Hi, for the most part it stays tied pretty well. I don't have issues with them. I wear these boots very often.

I havent had any problems with laces coming untied. I usually break a pair of boots down every 3-4 months, but my laces last.

I always double-knot mine, they hold all day. Not sure how well a single knot holds up.

I use a variation of surgeons knot where I wrap twice so its not a problem... Also try google'n Ted Talks "how to tie shoelaces"... It's bizarre but most of us may have been doing it "wrong" since childhood.

Mine stay tight for a 10 hour work day. The first couple weeks they were stiff and I double knotted them. It seemed after 2-3 weeks that they became more flexible and now I do not bother double knotting them.

If you like them nice and tight you can lace them up while they are off your feet, That way when you slip them on they will be nice and tight, FYI though the instructions say you are suppose to lace them up while they are on your feet, That way they will conform more to the shape of your feet, I didn't read the instructions and I installed them with shoes off and when I did slip into them they were tight and hurt like hell.

The idea behind the locking laces is that the lace is actually stretchy. This allows you to remove shoes without having to tie and untie laces. The standard lace in a shoe does not allow that.

I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug. At first I had to feel around under the little flap that covers the hole but once I felt where the button is I realized I could push down on it effortlessly for the release of the straps. It will not be something children can reach to push themselves. So tightening is simply pulling the strap between their legs and that is easy. Excess strap tucks under the edge of the seat easily so they can't grab it and tighten it on themselves accidentally. Releasing it is just as easy but you will need to be familiar with the button position. I hope this helps. I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug.

Sure will, I've got a 42 waist, but I don't tie a knot. I wrap the ends around each other a couple of times. The friction holds the laces fine while I sit at my desk.

These laces look and feel quite similar to standard laces. I believe them to be made of Kevlar, as they are EXTREMELY durable! They are flexible, yet stay just where you tie them. Expensive, yes--but for all appearances worth the money as they will outlast standard laces MANY times over!

I have bought many myself from retail stores like dollar general etc.. Ive found the rhinestones hold up and are still holding up and I have long hair and have had no problems with them getting caught...I have however had problems on 4 out of the 10 I bought on the retractable device. The metal clip that holds the retractable to the lanyard comes off and I cannot figure how to reattach it..so im using them without the retractable...the rest of the lanyard is holding up quite nicely and ive had them for at least a year.

I have the no tie one and they are easy to tie if you get the right size. The large for my lab is plenty big w space for tying.

I've not had a problem with it coming undone but I use a few different type of knots

Yes. Looks great. A very slow process to lace but if my 17 yr old son can do it you can also.

I have several casings in a pack @ about 5 ft lengths each after cutting from the knot. Many were tied in a single knot (whether an accidental knot or intentional, I don't know), and you'll have to cut it from the knot with a sharp knife or scissors. Being my first run with casings, these are much tougher than I originally thought

Well, I tied a good knot about two inches down from the top, kept it loose, and hung it on a shepherd's hook, putting the metal through the knot. I pulled it as tight as I could after that. This made it difficult to fill, but I wasn't sure what else to do with it. That was about ten days ago, and it's still holding strong. I have a feeling I'll have to do something different soon. I wasn't expecting a plain rope.

Its a twist on, but wont come off if pulled on. My daughter has been wearing hers for at least 7 months now and havent had and issues or concerns with choking her. *safety knotted* means that each bead is tied separately, so if it broke you wouldn't have beads everywhere.

i bought it because i wanted the ends to unravel........for the purpose that i uses it for.......[ natural scent wicks ] . however.........you can stop the unraveling by simply using a small plastic zip tie above your cut line.........

Sometime its harder to work with them when you putting then on - on clothing. But far more better then normal wired once. I like them really a lot.. Tangling - sometime also tangle a little but also cannot even thing how to compare to normal one.

Actually, when I first got it, I just stuck the sensor between the tounge of the shoe and the laces. It worked great, but I worried that it might, eventually, fall out. So, I cut a little slit in the tounge of my running shoe, stuck it down in there and then sewed it shut again. Works like a charm.

No. You do need somewhere on your shoe to put it, so it stays put. There are pouches for this purpose that will work with any shoe lace.
