Guide Review - Xtenex Shoelaces
I should have read the instructions first for Xtenex Shoelaces, because I thought they wouldn't fit through the eyelets of my New Balance 833 shoes. But once I read the instructions I discovered there was a simple trick to collapse the elastic knots and lace your shoes - grasping on either side of the knot. Mission accomplished, I laced my shoes and adjusted the tension between each eyelet, ending with the laces just sticking out of the top eyelets without having to tie the laces.
