U-Lace Classic No-Tie Elastic Laces – Black

Description

U-Lace Classic No-Tie Elastic Laces in Black – turn any trainer into a slip-on, in black.

If you are after black no-tie laces that let you forget about tying your shoes altogether, these U-Lace Classic units are the clever little upgrade I recommend most. Each pack holds six short, stretchy lace segments in black, and you simply thread them across the eyelets to turn an ordinary lace-up trainer into a comfortable slip-on that never comes undone.

U-Lace has been making no-tie laces since 2009, and the idea is beautifully simple. Because every segment is elasticated, your foot slides in and out easily while the shoe stays snug and supportive all day. This black is sleek, goes with everything and hides marks well, and because they are Mix-N-Match you can blend colours later if you fancy a bolder look.

I fit these for customers of every age, from parents who are tired of retying little ones’ trainers to runners and commuters who just want to grab their shoes and go.

Why choose U-Lace no-tie laces?

• Never tie your shoes again – once fitted, they stay put, so there are no loose ends to trip over.
• Easy on, easy off – the elastic stretches as you slip your foot in, then holds a secure, sock-like fit.
• Genuine comfort – the give in the black segments eases pressure points across the top of the foot.
• Mix-N-Match freedom – combine with other U-Lace colours to personalise your trainers however you like.
• Great for all ages – ideal for children, older feet and anyone who finds bending down to tie laces awkward.
• Reusable – pop them out and move them to your next pair whenever you wish.

How to fit your U-Lace laces

Fitting takes about three minutes per shoe once you have the knack. Here is how I do it:

1. Remove your existing laces completely.
2. Push the closed loop of a U-Lace segment through an eyelet from the outside, working the aglet through from inside the shoe.
3. Hook the open end over the matching eyelet on the opposite side so the segment lies flat.
4. Repeat across each pair of eyelets, keeping the open ends pointing towards the toe.
5. Adjust the tension row by row until the fit feels just right.

You will usually need two packs to lace a standard pair of trainers, and an extra pack for high-tops or shoes with more than three rows of eyelets.

About U-Lace

U-Lace pioneered the no-tie elastic lace back in 2009 and it has been a favourite with trainer fans ever since. The segments work best on three-piece trainers such as classic canvas high-tops and low-tops, where each unit can sit neatly between the eyelets.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for one pair?

Two packs will lace most standard trainers. If your shoes have more than three rows of eyelets, or you are lacing high-tops, add an extra pack.

Will they fit my trainers?

They suit almost any flat-soled lace-up trainer. As long as your shoe has standard eyelets, these black segments will thread straight in.

Can I reuse them?

Yes. They pop out just as easily as they go in, so you can move them to another pair or swap colours whenever the mood takes you.
