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.

Stayed tied well didn't last very long though i only got two months out of the pair i bought

I have found a surgeons knot will hold it, but just to be safe put a drop of a type of jewelry glue on the knot.

The links are quite tight, and they are somewhat difficult to remove, especially when it's brand-new. Sometimes I can't get a link to twist off without hurting my hand, but it does get easier after it's been worn for awhile, and they stay on nice and tight so that they don't pull apart while walking the dog. I've found it easier to put them back on than to take them off.

Tips are smooth however my ties have not fallen off the hooks at all. (Just as a note I wear a tie 6 days a week so I am always pulling ties off and on and never had a problem with them falling off).

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.........

yes it ties just like rope with no slipping. Keep in mind once the knot is tied and pulled tight it will not be undone. Using a draw weight scale used for setting up compound bows the line broke at 88lbs no matter what knot i used. Hope this helps

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.

nope - just like shoelaces... you can tie a simple knot and they stay snug...

they are long enough to barely tie, but you may want a longer pair, my granddaughter says they are long enough to tie but you really have to do them very tight.

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.

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.

I've never taken them out to measure. But, but tied securely, there are two bow loops about 4" long each (8" of lace doubled on each loop). There is not enough lace to wrap around the back of the skate then tie, but there is a velcro strap at the top to cinch the ankle securely. The laces are not too long once tied.

You would need to untie the knot at the end of the line and pull it taut, then retie. My clothes line has not needed this and I have had mine outside all summer in the weather. Holding up nicely. The line itself is coated and does not sag much over time.

They're just knotted, so you unknot the loose one and tie it tighter. Easy peasy!

I haven't had my bungees come out of the loops, but i would try making two small holes in the webbing strap and putting a zip tie through the holes (around the bungee) and tightening the zip tie. you could do this without the holes as well.

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.

You can attach the strap to your waist. When I do that I tie the straps in a double knot and have no trouble with it. I do not use the strap like a belt as it is too long for me. It does not fall off when tied.
