Lock Laces. I started using them to save a few seconds in triathlons, but I absolutely love them for running. I ordered a new pair of shoes yesterday and the first thing I did was order a pair of Lock Laces to go with them.

They take a little bit of work to adjust in the beginning, but once you get it right they give you a perfect fit every time. Even if your feet swell during a run, they're elastic enough they just stretch a little rather than getting too tight. They also never come undone in the middle of a run, and they make your shoes very easy to put on and take off.

Hopefully I don't sound like a Lock Laces salesperson. There are other brands and I presume they work just as well, but I haven't tried them. My only real complaint is they're overpriced for what they are, but it's worth it. Also they kind of suck for trail running, and I definitely wouldn't use them for a mud race--that would be a good way to lose a shoe.

Lock Laces are what I use. They have been very helpful in taking off a few seconds from T2, and I have had no issues with them. Most people will set them up beforehand to a comfortable fit so all you have to do is slip them on when you're ready to run. No brainer for eight bucks =)

Just saw /u/waffl6's page. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. There's no way around it, he's in for a world of hurt and hard work. Be there for him, even when he rejects it.

You don't seem to be looking for input on getting him on the bike, which is good, at this point. Here are some things I've posted in the past that may be relevant for you/him. I sincerely hope it helps. Feel free to PM me and we can talk or I can give you my email/phone number and I can talk to him directly.

Most people have to emulate Thomas the Train to be happy/successful in life, "I think I can, I think I can...." Your brother will need to have this mindset from now on

I'm sorry for what your family is going to go through for the next ~year. He will feel defeated, he will feel helpless, and he will probably lash out at you all, at one point or another. Do you best to take it in stride and support him. I am where I am today because my family taught me to look at every obstacle as a challenge and that defeat only exists in giving up - keep trying until you find solutions that work. For example, i only tie one lace on my shoe (half bow). It's fast and easy. Took me 3 months to figure out, though. I step on one lace and tied the other as normal. Your brother could put something heavy on the lace or get special lace like these

They're running shoes. No one cares what they look like while running.

There are also these things for running shoes, which are quick to put on too.

u/TheBigBadOx · 3 pointsr/triathlon

I haven't had any issues and I've put them on Zoot, Nike, Saucony, and Brooks shoes so far. The ones I use are pretty much elastic laces with a plastic quick lock. Here's a link to them at Amazon.

u/skittles_rainbows · 3 pointsr/autism

I know many students with autism who had fine motor issues and poor motor planning. They didn't meet the qualifications for dyspraxia though. Most of my students have issues with tying shoes. I don't even teach it anymore. If parents inquire I suggest Lock Laces.

u/FrankMcDank · 2 pointsr/amateur_boxing

Hey everybody... purely hypothetically, would refitting lace-up gloves with these types of laces make it a slip-on? I mean for training?

u/Renigami · 2 pointsr/motorcycles

Yep. No need for explicit motorcycle branded boots when these with a pair of these is effective, easy to don and secure, and durable.

Not wearing explicitly for track racing or strictly high revving/speed riding either.

u/mstwizted · 1 pointr/Parenting

That's how I taught my kids as well.

Mostly though, they love these things - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007DLVLDY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Don't know how well these work. Might be worth a look. Good luck!

Or you could spend a few bucks on these and save some time. I have two sets for my short and full hiking boots. They've been all over the Alps, Himalayas and Appalachian. They work.

u/AJayH · 1 pointr/interestingasfuck

This is cool and all. But I switched to Lock Laces a few years ago. Haven't tied my shoes since.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

How could you have any cake other for your birthday than funfetti cake?? That's, like, the ultimate birthday cake!

These lock laces would make me very happy by preventing me from having to tie my shoelaces over and over while running.

Happy Happy Joy Joy! And happy birthday! Thanks for the contest. :)

No joke...these are great for shoes you'd ride in: https://www.amazon.com/LACES-Elastic-Shoelace-Fastening-System/dp/B007DLVLDY

u/chillbroswaggins · 0 pointsr/crossfit

I use them for all of my exercise shoes. Besides never having to tie them, they also help in that your shoes are always at the right tension when you put them on. Here is my favorite kind:
