Description

Flat stretch laces, the no-tie elastic shoelaces that turn any lace-up shoe into a slip-on. Pull them on once and they stretch so your foot slides in and out, with no daily tying or untying. Comes as a pair.

  • Fit: flat lace, 1/4 inch wide, with a traditional flat-lace look and a snug, secure hold.
  • Color: 15 colors, from black, white and ivory to greys, browns, blues, neons, purple and red.
  • Works with: any lace-up shoe, from low sneakers to tall boots, for adults and kids.
  • Size: comes in up to 9 lengths, 24 to 72 inches. Not sure which? Our size guide matches your shoe to a length in seconds.
  • Easy to install: lace them through your eyelets like regular shoelaces and tie once.
  • Comfort: the forgiving stretch eases hot spots and pressure points instead of digging in like traditional shoelaces.
  • Material: a polyester and rubber blend, rubber for the stretch, polyester for the wear, so they keep their snap instead of stretching out like cheap laces. Hand cut and hand packed.

FAQ

Are stretch shoelaces a good option for older adults?

Yes. Once you lace them in and set the tension, the shoe becomes a slip-on, so there is no tying or untying day to day. A good fit for older active adults who want to keep wearing the shoes they already love without fighting with laces every morning.

Do elastic shoelaces help with arthritis or limited hand dexterity?

They can. Tying regular laces takes fine motor control, and arthritis, reduced grip strength, or limited dexterity can make that painful or frustrating. Our flat elastic laces are tied once when you lace them in, so from then on there is no daily tying or untying.

Do you still have to tie no-tie stretch laces?

Only once. You lace them through like a normal lace, set the stretch to a comfortable tension, and secure the ends. After that, the elastic flexes as you slip the shoe on and off, and you never tie them again.

Can I slip my shoes on and off without untying them?

Yes, that is the whole point. The elastic stretches as your foot goes in, then pulls back to hold the shoe snug, so you step in and out hands-free like a slip-on while keeping the normal laced look.

What length do I need, and how do I choose a size?

Start with how many eyelet pairs your shoe has:

  • Casual low-tops (2 to 4 pairs): about 30 to 35 in
  • Low-top sneakers: 45 in (5 pairs), 47 in (6 pairs), 47 to 55 in (7 to 8 pairs)
  • High-tops: 55 to 63 in
  • Boots and tall high-tops (9+ pairs): about 72 in

To find your length: pull one original lace, measure it flat, and match that length.

The best there is with a minor gripe

I have bought other stretch laces on here and they feel flimsy like the elastic in sweatpants. These feel thick and "sturdy", if you will. My only gripe is their branding on the aglet. Plain laces would be fantastic but instead they have an "S" on the aglet so it makes them look like laces for kid's shoes.Now, for a note on Adidas shoes. Adidas' site lists shoelace length based on the number of eyelets. I have found this chart to be inaccurate for stretch laces. 6-7 eyelets = 54-63 inches per their site. If you go with even the low end of that recommendation you will get big, floppy laces (see my picture with the gray pants). I decided to size down to 45 inches and they are the perfect length (see the picture with black pants). This is not just for one pair either. I own Stan Smiths and Grand Court shoes and it applies equally to both. So, if you have Adidas shoes consider sizing down. New Balance (574) lace lengths are spot on. Nike (Killshot 2) lace lengths are also spot on.

Laced Up, Ready to Go!

Perfect for my low top Converse, got the 24”. Could have gone a little shorter, but worked it out. Quality appears good. The color is on point. Shoes are easy to slip on/off; laces work out very well functionally. The give the laces have adds to a comfortable fit. Now, to test the durability ✌🏻

Love!

I never wore my Taos sneakers because the shoe strings were so long. Now using the 24 inch & knotting the ends they are much cuter! Just enough stretch to get them on! Highly recommend!

Decent Rothy’s replacement - RS01 white

My original intention was to try to find some replacement laces for all white Rothy’s. The company notoriously doesn’t sell/offer replacements, & a Reddit sub sent me to these laces.

They are a good sub - not perfect. The white color isn’t an exact match… the OEM laces have a little more yellow in them. OEMs are a little wider as well. Installed on a men’s & women’s pair of RS01s, size 45 on the women’s, and 47 on the men’s. Size is good. Actual size of the Rothy’s laces are 46 W & 51M. Stretchlace has elasticity, so they fit well. I’ll keep them and give them a whirl. Picture has OEM laces on top & Stretchlaces on bottom. Shoe picture has Stretchlaces on both the men’s/womens RS01 in white.

Best elastic laces I've tried ever. (See photo) One month after I bought these 45 inch laces, still working great on my size 13 wrestling shoes. Bad reviews must be paid for or some kind of idiots!

Time saver

Because of where I work I’m having to lace up more than ten times a day which is a hassle and time consuming, these stretchy laces makes putting on and off my shoes a breeze. Plus their customer service is the best, a model of how every company should operate. Thanks Jamie!

Great on sneakers!

I love having these on my sneakers. I can just slip them on and off while leaving the laces tied. The laces look good and seem durable. The price is okay. If they were a couple bucks cheaper and give them 5 stars. But, if the cost is not a problem for you, I'd say get this.

Totally Worth The Money

These laces have completely transformed my Lems boots. I have been trying to embrace the minimal shoe lifestyle. I work on my feet as a custodian on concrete all day and have bouts of plantar fasciitis. The Lems have helped with that, but I just couldn't ever get the laces comfortable. They were always either too loose or too tight. I found these stretchlaces and it completely changed the way my boots fit and feel. Even with lace up boots, I am able to slip them on and off like a slipper, without ever untying my shoes. I. Love. Them. If you are thinking about trying these laces out, I highly recommend.

Stretch laces perfected - convenient and stay in place

I've used other brands of stretch laces over the years for triathlon, everyday running shoes, kids' shoes, etc. Their design included intrusive plastic components. The Original Stretchlace look like ordinary shoelaces, but turn shoes into perfectly laced slip-ons. I'm particular about the fit of my running shoes (fussy feet) so the ability to lace them up just the way I like ONCE then forget about them is so convenient! The fit is secure after several 10+ mile runs. Ordering more for my family's athletic and casual shoes. I ordered 47" Flat Grey for women's size 8.5 Brooks running shoes and the laces are plenty long. Could've gone shorter, but wanted extra length for potential "heel lock lacing" technique.

Ivory 47 inches flat shoe laces by the original stretchlace

These shoe laces are just what I needed for a corset I bought second hand at Owen's closet that was missing the cord. They lay flat and dont slip around while I am wearing my corset. They are super stretchy and hold their shape worth the $12 for a pair of these shoe laces.

Make any shoe a slip-on! A maternity must have!

I hate tying shoes and wanted to turn my Vans into slip-ons. These worked perfectly!! I love that they look like regular laces with the ties showing on the outside and aren't plastic/rubber looking like other elastic laces.Tip: be sure to measure the laces of the ones you are replacing and order the correct length for your needs.Pro tip: these are perfect for maternity!

It’s like wearing slip on shoes!

I have always worn slip on vans. I recently got a pair of tie ups and missed the slip on fit. I bought these and I’m slipping on/off again! And they’re easier to walk in, not too stretchy. I’m Very happy!

Game changer!

Love love love this product! The royal blue was a perfect color match! These laces are great because they make difficult shoes, easy to put on while maintaining the overall integrity of the shoe. Game changer!

Gets me and my boots through airport security quickly!

I've converted almost all of my athletic & sports shoes over to StretchLaces. Makes it easier to slip cycling, mountain biking, stair running and hiking shoes, on & off easily, with no pressure points on the tops of my feet. Plus I love the color choices - I've bought purple, bright pink, and neon green/yellow (which practically glows in the dark). And these are easier to install and adjust, than the "bungee-plus-plastic spring lock" that some other brands use. One suggestion- It would be helpful if y'all could print or stamp the actual size (i.e. S-M-L or inches or cm) more clearly on the outside of the boxes, so it's easy to tell them apart (I order different lengths for different types of shoes). Love them!

These are great for folks who don’t like to tie there shoes all the time. They truly make your shoes slip ons. It takes a few tries to get the tension right, but worth it when you do.
