Reviews of Yankz - Lime Green Laces, Black Buckle

Customer Ratings:

This is perfect for your favorite pair of shoes for easy on and off or for a triathalon. I bought these for my running shoes for tri's and they not only were easy to get on and off but they also were the perfect snugness for comfort.

I bought these based on a friend's suggestion. They are supposed to allow you to slip your shoes on/off with little effort, yet keep your foot secure in your shoe while you run. Since they are elastic, they will expand as your foot swells, however, if you start them off too tight, the can become restrictive. I tried them laced the convention way (loop at the top) as described on the box, but I could never get them loose enough (women's sz 8) and they felt constrictive. I flipped them around (loop at the bottom) and the fit seems to have improved. Sure the shoe is a bit looser when first put on, but after a while the fit feels secure without being too constrictive. With the shoes laced both ways with the yanks, the shoe never felt like it would just fall off. If you run a lot and are tired of lacing your shoes or need expandability in your shoes, these might work for you. The lime green is really bright and is stands out. I suggest black if you don't want too much contrast (which I also purchased).
