Yes, but ... March 2, 2010
Color Name:Grey w/Black Buckle|Amazon Verified Purchase
Yes, these are nifty, hi-techy, practical. You can really take your shoe off and put it on just like a slipper - ant it works! Actually, I left the old traditional shoelace on one shoe and only installed one Yankz on the other; I guess it must look funny, but that's the price of a review :)
Installing them is not a breeze, but Saint Google came to the rescue - once again.
BUT the problem is that they feel a bit too tight on the instep, specifically where you tighten them. I tried playing with them a little, but it makes not much difference. I'll play some more and update. So far, I'll keep both shoelaces on!

I rate items based on three criteria - Does it work as advertised? Does the value justify the cost? Does it improve my life? I put my recommendation at the top, then answer those three questions below.

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend this product to anyone who owns one or more pairs of shoes with laces - I seriously cannot believe we're still tying our shoes. We may not have flying cars, but dang it we've got a sweet way to put shoes on.

FUNCTIONALITY

You replace your shoe laces with these - once you get them set up to the right level of tightness, you will never tie them again. The elastic laces cinch everything up perfect as you slip on the shoe - never too tight or loose, if you got it right when you set them up. I have a pair of running shoes using Yanks that have 500-600 miles on them with no noticeable degradation. The shoes are toast, but the Yanks are still fine.

VALUE

$8? Are you kidding me? You're outsourcing the tying of your shoes. Instead of taking 60 seconds every time you put them on - and not always getting it to the optimal comfort level - they're just preset for awesomeness.

DOES IT IMPROVE MY LIFE?

You'll tie a pair of shoes at least 100 times before they wear out. That's probably 2 hours spent tying shoes. I can pay $8 to eliminate that? I like that transaction A LOT.

This is such a great product. My husband starting doing Triathlons this year and I purchased these for his birthday. He loves them. Saves him the time of tying and retying his running shoes. Thank you for a great product!

Great product
This is my 4th pair for 4 different pairs of shoes. I have had no issues to speak of and find that this is a great solution for fast entry and lace free shoe fitting.

Great quick laces
Great for hiking boots, no need to worry about laces coming loose or needing to be retied! Reflective ones are great for running shoes too!

No Instructions
This looks like a very good product, but there are no instructions included with the laces. Why would anyone need instructions to replace shoe laces? Read more

Too complicated to use
I could not figure it out. there was a video on line. I still found it impossible. I called the New Balance Store and no one knew how to do it and they admitted not easy. Read more

Great Product ....but not 5 stars
I really like the yankz in general, but mine broke after about a month of use. The plastic piece at the toe end of the laces broke. Read more
