Lock Laces Review and Giveaway

Up for review today: Lock Laces. I'm particularly excited to review this product because it solves TWO shoe problems in our house.

The first problem - my kids are too young to tie their shoes. Sometimes it's ok (I love Christopher's Chucks so much I'm willing to tie them anytime he's willing to wear them). Sometimes it's not (Hannah takes off her shoes and takes out the laces every single time we get in the car).

The second problem - I really don't like the look of velcro shoes.

Enter Lock Laces, a patented elastic shoelace that uses a spring activated locking device to guarantee easy-on lace up shoes.  Not only are they great for kids but, "Lock Laces are great for running, triathlon, playing sports and casual wear."  They work with all styles of lace up shoes for adults and children and come in 11 different colors so you can match any shoe.

I purchased Lock Laces for my adult and Christopher's child-sized tennis shoes.  Gone are the days of stopping to retie his shoes.  We can both slip on our tennis shoes before leaving the house and not think about them again until we come home and kick them off by the door. 

We're HUGE fans!

Lock Laces has generously agreed to give away five pairs of shoe laces to YOU, my faithful blog readers.  All you need to do is leave a comment on this post by 9PM on February 14.  I will select five winners at random to receive a pair of Lock Laces - and YOU can choose the color!.  Make sure you include an email address if you leave an anonymous comment so I can contact you when you win!

UPDATED:
A big thank you to EVERYONE who entered the Lock Laces Giveaway!  Your comments were great!

If you weren't one of the lucky five you can still order your Lock Laces directly from the company.  At $4.99/pair they are an affordable option for any family.  And you can choose from 11 colors to match any shoe.

And now for the winners...

  14. Neato! I'd love them for my early morning workouts so that I wouldn't have to think about tying laces while I'm still half asleep :)

  16. Yes! Include me please. I can only imagine how helpful these will be when I'm a new mom and have to balance getting myself and baby out of the house each day!

  17. These look really great- especially for winter where you are constantly taking your shoes on and off. My 7 year old would go bonkers if he didn't have to tie his shoes, which I refuse to do for him anymore.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Well. That is really cool.
    I will have to buy some if I don't win them in the drawing.

  24. Those sound amazing for the kids who haven't yet mastered the shoe tying trick! Thanks for a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  25. My kids really need a pair of these. I would no longer have to yell at my kids to untie their shoes before they put them on. (I don't untie mine either. oops:)) Getting out the door would be so much faster.

    ReplyDelete

  26. My daughter really could use these. She still can't tie shoes due to her autism. Her favorite color would be Lime Green ones. This is a cool product

    ReplyDelete

  38. I would love to try these! My brother has CP and is only able to use one hand (his right side of his body is paralysed. We have been buying elastic from the notions wall at the fabric store and replacing his laces for years. I wonder if these are usable with one hand? Looking forward to a review, even if we don't get to try them out!

  42. I was just looking at new sneakers for my 4yo, but unable to find a pair I liked that didn't have regular laces. This would solve the problem! What a great idea!

    ReplyDelete

  52. I desperately need these!!!!!! Even though I feel like the comment with the autistic daughter deserves them more than I do because it looks simple enough. Hope she wins one of the pairs!

  55. Sylvie.

    Boy do I need these. Only yesterday I had to stop 20 minutes into my 40 minute treadmill walk/run to retie my shoelaces. Eventhough I saw the lace flapping about, I was tempted to just continue for the remainig 20 minutes BUT that would have been foolish. I imagined all manner of accidents and decided to stop, relace, and continue.

    So, these locks would be great. My brother has them on several sneakers.

    I'm drawn between the pink and orange creamsicle laces.

    Thanks for the chance.
