Can these be used on hiking shoes? I own a pair of Merrell hiking shoes and would like to switch to these shoelaces. Thanks...

yes, I have them on my work boots (like hiking boots). I used them on my sons cleats playing baseball and they work great for both

I believe these would work nicely on a pair of hiking shoes. They do allow adjustment for a snug fit. I was even thinking of putting these on my blackhawk boots but they don't have the length to fit. I think these laces are better then standard laces by far.

if you're asking how to remove the tip clip, it can be done with a small blade screwdriver or tip of scissors. Google something like "Locklace tip clip instructions" and you'll see a how-to U Tube video on this.

I would think they would have too much "give" while walking. I like my hiking bots tight. However I do understand the rock comment.

absolutely - they are awesome! much easier to take on and off when you get a rock in your shoe!!

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

They would work just fine. On my running shoes, they work very well and prevent me from having to stop if a shoe comes untied. You can secure them as loosely or as tightly as you want. I like them.

I was wearing them on Brooks Cascadias so yes they will most definitely for on running shoes. They would also fit on some of the lighter weight hikers like possibly Keen or Merrells

I use them for extreme hiking - Cliffs, Ice, Frozen rivers Etc... You should probably look at a pair of good running shoes with spikes if the conditions call for it to be icy. I would not use these in a Marathon.

Use the smaller ones, these are really big. Honestly haven't tried either size for shoes though.

I really wish they had a medium size--the smaller is definitely small and the larger is just enormous. My wife has the small size which, with her size 8 day hikers, have only one slot left. I ordered the larger size so they would work with my big winter boots (size 12) which they do though they still have 3 or 4 slots left, and to adjust them to use with my regular day hikers, I had to add a couple extra holes because the smallest setting was still too big (I then had to loop the extra length back up and zip tie it in place it was so long). Hope this helps.

As long as your hot shoe works, there is no reason why these won't work. By the way, these are GREAT. I have used the heck out of them over the last 3 months and never a glitch, even through walls.

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.

I'd say it would be about 50% thicker than your average pair of athletic socks, except on the bottom where I'd say it's about double the thickness and maybe even a little more. If you're concerned about shoe fit with these, if the shoe is snug in normal socks, it will be a mite tight. I've never had a problem with hiking boots or athletic shoes such as you might find in Merrell's or Keen's inventories. But I can't wear them with my cowboy boots.

They fit perfect on my Trekker poles and unbranded eBay poles I bought out of China a few years back. I can't say if they will fit any other poles. I have been using them for a few weeks during daily hour long hikes in the woods or pavement after heavy rains and they are holding up real well and staying on the poles. Tips I bought a few years back on eBay fall off all the time.

I have the mid long. I use them with the merrell hikers and they are just fine.

If you can I would recommend removing any insole that is a part of your shoes and replace them with these; depends on the shoes. I bought these to use in my Running shoes and had to remove the existing insoles before putting these in the shoes. That worked for me. Hope this helps!

"Normal shoes" as in street shoes/tennis shoes/running shoes etc? No, not really a good idea, and I personally would really have to say "No." these are "clip in" style pedals that are for bike shoes with road cleats (specifically SPD-SL road cleats)... if you want to ride with "normal shoes" you really should use a pedal with toe clips such as the Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle

Yes, they are perfect for under heavier hiking socks. The material is thin but sturdy. Helps prevent blisters between the toes. That is why I use them.

The laces should be great. Just take your old ones out, measure their length and get the closest length of these.

you could, but without the stretchiness of the included lace material, not certain that would be an ideal solution. the locks have teeth designed for this material, but they would probably work on regular laces, too.
