Durable, user-friendly, fun
My son has mild special needs. He generally passes as typical, and is in most ways, but certian processes just don't stick well in his head. Shoe-tying is one of them. He's good at figuring it out as he goes, but he has yet to just tie them on autopilot, you know, just going on muscle memory in a few seconds flat. He's almost eleven, and devices like this provide perfect little accomodations to help him keep blending in with his peers pretty seamlessly and keeping up with the crowd. Thanks to things like these, he doesn't have to fumble with laces, and isn't limited to the one or two pairs of tennis shoes in the store in his size (never mind how actually well- built or likeable they are; with these, we can pick any tennis shoe (or any shoe that typically laces for that matter), and just add these. Before, we'd had those rubbery (silicone?) faux laces, which worked nicely, but eventually fell apart whilst attempting to transfer them to their third pair of shoes. I mean, we got our money's worth with them, not bad, but when we needed something new, we wanted to try these because they looked a little more durable for the long term, and my son loved how fun and novel they looked. I read over and over that the magnets are indeed dependably strong. As I ordered them, I hoped it was true. My son is really active and loves distance running, and I sure hoped these would hold up during his races without flying open.Now that he's had them for awhile, I'll add to the crowd in saying that they indeed are very strong, very dependable magnets. Really. Days after they arrived, my son got to test them out while taking on a 5k race he'd been looking forward to. They held up perfectly. They're easy to operate (twist a bit to pop them right open, and once they snap shut, they're definetly staying shut for ya). They have yet to ever fly ooen on him unexpectedly, and they keep his shoes on snugly. As far as being fun amd cool, my son says these were a hit with his 5th grade class; they were really impressed with them and kida gathered around to have turns getting a good look with their little fingers, quite the cool novelty. Also, I might add that we love the variety of colors available. Teal is his favorite, which you have (maybe you call it turquoise...either way, you have the color he likes best), so he was happy for the variety of choices, which meant he could pizzaz his shoes up with that spash of his very, very favorite color, mo compromising. When you're a kid, you know, accessorizing in your favorite color makes even mundane things like shoes more fun. He loves them, and I love they live up to the dependability I hoped to see in them.As a note, I got him the middle stregnth ones. They're easy enough for his small hands, while still being quite hearty enough to withstand his high - energy activity level and distance running hobby. They do take a bit of sit-down time to install them, amd a bit of checking uopon the foot make sure theyre just right, but it's not difficult at all, and once they're in, they're quite securely in place, no having to tinker or adjust later. I think they'll tramsfer to new shoes nicely when the time comes.

Just amazing
The Magnetic Lacing Solution has been a true lifesaver, especially for children with autism who struggle with traditional shoelaces. I can't emphasize enough how convenient and beneficial these laces are. Kids who may find it challenging to tie their shoes can now effortlessly put on and take off their footwear, fostering a sense of independence and confidence.The magnetic mechanism is a genius invention, ensuring that the shoes stay securely fastened. It eliminates the frustration of knots coming undone or tripping over untied laces. As a parent, I appreciate the quality and durability of this product, knowing it will last.For children with autism, these laces have made mornings less stressful and have given them the freedom to manage their shoes with ease. The Magnetic Lacing Solution is a must-have for any parent or caregiver looking to simplify a child's daily routine and promote self-sufficiency. It's a small but significant change that can make a world of difference.

I wish I had more lace up shoes to order these for
I ordered these in the largest adult size in red. I specifically ordered them for a pair of custom made shoes that my laces were too short for. I was afraid they’d be large and detract from the look of the shiny red leather ankle boots, but I am happily surprised. The boots still look like they have a normal laced pattern, just with this in the middle. It perfectly matches the red laces I wanted to use too (tons of color options).They also work great. I bought the strongest option and they have to be twisted apart. They are too strong to just pull apart. This actually gets annoying as they love to snap together when you’re trying to put them on and then you have to twist them apart again. I don’t really see that as a draw back though, I see that as it doing its job too well! In fact, I can’t just undo them by pulling my feet out, I have to undo them by hand. So if your looking to never have to bend over and deal with your laces, don’t get the strongest set. If your looking for a darn solid hold all day long, they’re a winner.I wish I had more lace up shoes to order these for! Very happy with them. Would purchase again for sure.

The no tying shoe magnets
I found this item on kickstarter a few years ago. They are a great new look to any shoe. They have so many new colors to choose from. Not sure if the rating system for size changed it used to be the strength of the magnets. They seem to still be the same size as before. I think the kids one is a easier magnet to unclip. The larger ones are more for like a work boot able to lace tighter without them unclipping . I have a medium currently for my everyday shoe and for my running shoes. My kids had difficulty getting them unclipped when I first got them ( they were 6-7). They had to use their hands to unsnap them. I just think their legs were not strong enough to unsap them with just the toe on their heel and then move the foot forward. They are now 9-10 and have no issues. They are great for anyone with bad backs and would like to just slip their foot in and slip right out . Works with any shoe or boot. Take time to put them on and make adjustments to the laces start with the mid work up the laces than go back to the toe end and make minor adjustments as needed. Do not cut the ends of the laces till your shoes feel comfortable with the grey clips in place .Super simple . I would highly recommend this product.

Worked great! Strong magnet.
I bought these for my handicap sister. She’s older and kind of weak. They worked great but were too strong for her to use. But the little kids had no problems, (8 & 11 yrs).

Good for disabled people
I am disabled and have difficulty getting down to lace my boots. These work perfectly! I got the large and the magnets are strong enough to hold my winter boot laces and not pop open, yet I can undo them when needed.

Gute Magneten
Die Magneten könnten etwas stärker sein aber es funktioniert ich habe mir zwei Paar bestellt und wenn man die Magneten angebracht hat kann man die Schnürsenkel mit dem dazugehörigen Plastik festbinden allerdings habe ich nur vier Stück bekommen obwohl es acht sein müssten aber sonst okay eine vier von fünf

Vraiment utile
Les aimants sont assez puissants même en version enfant, ils tiennent bien la chaussure
