I bought a few just to try out. I’ve been eyeing them for a few months now. I have 3 pairs of shoes/boots where the laces were off. In the case of my boots - the laces were so short and kept coming undone. They were so annoying and I stopped wearing them in the workshop. I was just going to buy one set of laces for my chucks, but I figured why not give it a try. I’m so glad I did. I’ve had these for about 2 weeks now and these in my boots is a game changer. They stay tied and I can go in and out while doing work - it’s also super easy to take them off and put them back on. I had a burr stuck in my boot and it was nothing at all to slip them off and on. I also love the yellow with the navy.
