The Stretch Lace provides a unique method of wearing shoes without tying laces.
The Stretch Lace provides a unique method of wearing shoes without tying laces. The elastic lace enables the foot to slip into the shoe easily and allows for the expansion of feet in sports shoes. Stretch laces are a great help to those who cannot bend over, who have a loss of finger dexterity or who are cognitively impaired. They are comprised of a 27" (68 cm) long elastic lace, a round center lock and a gripping slide piece which cannot loosen accidentally.
