Is this better than a stick with a shoelace tied to it?

Yep. My cat likes all kinds of string. But the string here is made of lightweight fleece, so it bounces differently. And zigzags like a snake would. You could make one, fleece is 5 bucks a yard at craft store, but not sure that ot would easily attach to a stick.

Yes, but only because a long strip of fleece dances around better than a shoelace. If I'd realized how basic it was, I'd have made a cheaper, more durable one myself with scraps of fleece, a wooden spoon, and duct tape. Another easy toy is to tie floss to a wooden spoon, with something soft and bouncy at the bottom (such as a hair elastic). I wouldn't buy it again!

I agree with JCinTexas. If however your own laces are not elastic you would be missing half the benefit of Lock Laces.

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.

No.... It is not very good. We put on a cat and found it to be less than useful. We are no longer using stick n find.

Yes, but it has no power from the shoe...it just is convenient if you want to have a place to hold it.

No. You'd have to make something that would work. I suggest a string tether of some sort.

No, the positioning stick is just pressure fitted together. Mine is more of a wooden Dowell attached to the plastic ends. Sometimes the stick comes apart while removing magnets, but it due beats getting up on a chair.

Yes. This thing is super light. However, if the lace gets sat on, and thus pulled, that hook likely wouldn't hold up. The one it comes with did pretty good as long as you mount in a stud.

If pulled too quickly through your fingers, the edges can cut you but haven't had it burn me. The leash part isn't shaped round like a rope-more like a wide,flat shoe lace.

The double stick tape that is included is not real high quality stuff. As others have said, use the tape to hold the puck in place while you put the screws in it.

The only thing going against the guide should be fabric, so the type of foot should not matter. CAUTION: I would not use on computerized machines. Magnets and electronics do not play well together...

No - haven't tried that. I used it on a spike high heel (shoe)that got damaged and had to glue it to make is stay securely.

I am pretty sure it did. If not I have used string, even shoe laces in a pinch

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

its more like 2 feet long and are made of a soft plastic, so you probably don't want to lace up your shoes with them. Just use them with your usual laces as decorations. they also aren't very bright.

No...there is no place to attach it. I saw online where a guy used fishing line to make his own tether. Maybe you can try something like that.

I used it for an insert in my shoe, it does not move, so can't answer that. It removes really easily with Duck Adhesive Remover.
