Do these laces distribute pressure and support more evenly than conventional shoelaces?

I really like that I could decide how tight or loose at different parts of the shoe.

I think they distribute pressure evenly. The laces are elastic and move with your foot without making my sneakers feel like they are slipping. My wife made a comment to me this morning that she is so happy she doesn't have to keep retying he sneakers. Everything is subjective, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair.

I bought them as a gift for my sister law who runs and leads jazzersize. She likes them and uses them. Hope that helps.

Yes. Put the new laces in the shoes, determine the right length and cut off the excess lace. Then you will need to close to lace lock around the ends of the shoe laces and snap it shut. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

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

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.

Yes there is a real advantage. I split my tibia up the middle. I was non-weight bearing for 6 mos. Once I was allowed to start weight bearing, it was the only brace my orthopedist wanted me to use. It gives better stability, more even control of tightness, has a much better feel of control while walking. It really has nothing to do with the "speed" you can lace it up, in my view. Yes it is faster, but that is one of the least important factors. I tried some of the lace ups to cut down on the cost and use when I needed to wash the speed lacer and they just don't compare.

you might already know this but they have holes in them for your shoelaces I've worn them all my work shoes for quite a long time and they hold up quite well I hope this helps

Hi Andy,There is some play in the length of the laces, I believe they are 48" and you cut them to size when installing them in your shoes. I take size 10 and ended up cutting off about 2.5". In hindsight, I probably could have left them a bit longer but they work o.k. because of the elasticity. As for your size 16's, if you haven't already done so you should ask Locklace directly on their website. They have a page for questions like yours. I hope you get a good answer - it's a great product.

I cut off about 8 inches when lacing my tennis shoes with them- so, if boot laces are more than about 8 inches longer than tennis shoes, then I'd say no.

Dear Rose B --It's been a couple of years (I think) since I bought these laces so I don't recall anything specific. My friend installed them and missed a hole. It's not a big deal. It's better to follow the old laces with the new laces. BTW I didn't ask my friend to re-lace the chair. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

I have no comparison as I only wear the SPAT. I have worn it on my shoe from day one. If a lace up I put it through 3 laces...half of one set and ll of the next lower one. If no laces, my other shoes will barely accommodate it. I've heard of clips breaking and being replaced, but that's no good if you lose it altogether.

Not particularly. I ordered these as a less expensive alternative to the superfeet orthotic inserts I have been wearing. These do not fit as well or relieve pressure/correct alignment issues nearly as effectively. I would not recommend.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.

Yes. The come in one size and you cut them down to the size you need. You'll probably be wasting a lot of lace on each shoe..... but it would still work.

Kind of a tough question to answer affirmatively but you can lace them pretty darned tight... let's put it this way: you can lace them tight enough to be uncomfortable/painful if you want to.

Yes- once you have laced them you need to cut the excess before putting on the plastic end piece to secure the laces.

These will work with any eight hole boots if a little common sense is included in the project. The length of the laces can be problematic if you have a wide foot and thick ankles. Good product.
