Would these be appropriate for basketball shoes?

I would not use this for basketball shoes. They are more work book boots. I believe you would be quite uncomfortable with them in basketball shoes.

No they are a thin round lace therefore may be uncomfortable in a basket ball shoe

I'm sure they'd work, probably eat up your shoe eyelets before they'd ever break. They're like steel cord, real ridged and tough.

I think these would work fine for basketball shoes. If using while playing basketball, just make sure you tighten each row of the laces after you put your shoes on. I wouldn't use these if you're a "I'll just slip on my tied shoes" kind of person.

Absolutely. If the toe area of your shoes are already tight, this might be too much. But otherwise, this is fine for any shoes.

I don't think that's what this is meant for. This is so you can keep hockey socks from falling down. There's a clip on each end to connect to the socks. I don't even know what you'd attach it to for basketball or football or running.

I don't have a basketball handy, but I believe it and the shoes will fit ok. I use it for my workout at the Y and it's great. One thing I like is the zippered pocket where I put my padlock, so I don't have to fish around for it. Also the ventilated area for my wet towel and swim suit so they don't mildew in the summer.

YES! I use this strictly for shoes! I think it's perfect. It didn't take me long to assemble either. ;)

I would say it depends on the shoes you are putting them in. If your shoes already fit snug then probably, but if not then you should be fine.

No, I use them in my athletic shoes and insert them between the shoe and and pad. They stay in place nicely and are much better than the felt pads the doctor gave me, not to mention a lot less expensive ($80!!) You could probably glue them in place if you had to.

Yes! I also used these for my husband's shoes, he needed them a bit wider. I would recommend you leaving the stretcher in for more than just the weekend.

I don't think they are as tall as baseball socks. My daughter wears them for basketball.

No. It's very flimsy and the spots aren't large enough for men's basketball sneakers.

You probably can and they would stick however why would you want to do that? They are designed to be placed inside the shoe.

I think these small ones would be, I guess it depends on your shoe size. I've only tried these, but it follows.

Previous responders are correct. I see everyone uses these for shoes, they should be adsvertised as such.

Well if its too wide, you can always cut them down. they are sized to fit most guys regulars shoes, it might be wide enough. I use them in my Asics running shoes

I wouldn't think so since they tend to get pretty uncomfortable just in walking. I never got much use out of these. It's been sitting in the shoe closet.

Yes they can. They do take up a little space in your shoes of course but they work well. I find them to be quite comfortable and they help.

My daughter is 9 yrs old and they fit her. Yes, she uses hers for basketball
