I took 2 star off because of 2 reasons:
1) Defective lock 1 of the locks came with the spring dislocated inside the lock mechanism, making it impossible to push to 'open' the holes (maybe that's why other users are complaining about difficult installation). This is a design flaw of the long and high tension spring. I don't believe this is an isolated incident, which leads me to question the longevity of these locks. I do hope to re-use them after a pair of running shoes die.
2) I wanted to get a replacement, but Amazon would only allow return for this item. So I figured I would order another set first before returning, just in case there is another defective unit. Well, I got the 2nd order and there were only 2 packs (instead of 3) in the package!! And the missing one set is the same color as the defective set in the first order!! #$#$%@#$
I am not going to bother with a 3rd order. This is just too much trouble over shoe laces, so I just return the 2nd order (of the missing pack) with the defective unit.
So if you get the good locks, all 3 packs in the mail, and don't mind the preset color combination, this is a better buy than $8 a pack individually.
Good luck!

the lock mechanism are too tight for the thick lace, requires force to lock it, and would requires tools to un-ply themit seems impossible to reuse the lock mechanism on another shoe, risk damaging the fragile plastic
after lacing, suggest to cut only one end of the lace instead to retain the plastic aglet, for easy re-threading
