An Easier Way to Keep Shoelaces Tied

Getting his shoes to stay tied has been a huge problem for my son. It took him quite some to master the basic idea of tying a knot, but he still can’t get his shoes tied tight enough so they’re not constantly coming undone. Double knotting just gets the laces hopelessly tangled for him.

So, when I happened to stumble across Foot Galaxy laces, I thought they might be worth it if they saved us the aggravation of having to constantly retie his shoes throughout the day.

The Foot Galaxy laces are elastic springs that help keep your child’s shoes on without needing to stop to tie them. The Foot Galaxy laces look really small at first, but they are amazingly stretchy. When you’re threading the laces through the shoes, however, you have to be sure your child is wearing them at the time. Otherwise, they will probably be too tight to get on and off easily.

The Foot Galaxy laces come in many different colors, all the way from basic black to neon orange or a fun rainbow print.

Even though Foot Galaxy laces may seem like a product for children, they’re also stretchy enough to work for older people with mobility issues that make it difficult to bend to tie their shoes or to thread the laces properly.

I’m thinking of purchasing a pair of Foot Galaxy laces for myself so I will have a pair of sneakers that I can easily slip on when I need to step outside to take out the trash or pick up a package from the FedEx man.

You can purchase Foot Galaxy laces on Amazon for $2.49, but you might also be able to find them at a shoe store near you. I purchased mine locally to avoid high shipping costs.
