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.

Where can I buy more laces? my son drags these around with him everywhere so we're always losing the laces. I don't know what they're called or their measurements so I don't know what to look for.

It will unravel into 2-3 "strings" if you do not tie it off. It will not rip apart into fibers, but it will shed little. I have it wound around the neck of several empty water bottles that are serving as bird feeders & the string is holding up fine out side. I do have it knotted & the free ends have unraveled. Hope this helps.

no no no and NO ............ I constantly have to go untangle my dogs (as they often wrap it so bad they only have like 4" of line left) ......... tho I think this would probably work well if it were attached to an inground. Other than that I absolutely love this tie out and feel confident in its holding power.

Yes, it is very easy to tie a knot with the 8 lb version. Easy to tie knots with 20lbs and under break strength.

It is as stiff as fine wire. So yes, it can hold a knot, but not every knot.

Yes I did shorten mine too with a very sharp knife and then put very small snap ties on the ends of them to make sure they don't frey even though they probably wouldn't anyway. Great laces nothing better I put mine into rocky boots that are 2 years old and were them every day and will get another year out of them too. Buy the laces like I will every time... 10 out of 10

I used all of the lace last March with my daughter's wedding, so I'm answering from memory; I don't have the lace in front of me. It was made from a soft fabric and was pleasant to touch. It was not stiff and paper-like as some craft laces can be. Some, maybe all, had fine elastic thread in them making it very easy to use as we tied it around bouquets. The card included at least five different lace ribbons, and I was very pleased with my purchase.

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

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!

When I purchased my hair, I didn't see any lace closures by them. But this bundle is without a lace closure. Just contact them and ask do they sell them. They are great about responding to customers answers.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.

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.

Kind of a tough question to answer affirmatively but you can lace them pretty darned tight... let's put it this way: you can lace them tight enough to be uncomfortable/painful if you want to.

No my child has not gotten these undone. They've stayed securely tied. He's very curious & always figured out how to get into things & hasn't tried anything with these. He's currently 21 months old & we've had these on his crib since he began teething quite a while ago.

No problem...it clings tightly...they do not fall out. I absolutely love these!

If you remove the end cap off the end you pull out to hook up, then slide out the full length cover. You now have the exposed, knots that tie the lines in place. I'd recommend not to untie, but push excess line through the knot and pull tight to hold in place. Do this again with any other lines that are too loose. Don't cut off excess as you may find these lines too tight in future, then you will have line to push back out, if needed. Good luck.
