" ... basically these are pretty good ,makes it convenient to slip on and off with ease .depending on the line up of actual lace holes on sneaker , a slight little challenge putting them on the sneaker. ... "
" ... Easy slip on ... "
" ... Got these for my son who kept wrecking his shoes because he refused to tie them. ... "
" ... So being able to slip my shoes on and off is so convenient. ... "
" ... I bought these because my mother, who’s in her late 70’s, has arthritis in her hands and it’s getting more difficult for her to tie her shoe laces. ... "
" ... So much easier to place my sneakers on and never having to retire the laces. ... "
" ... My husband had back surgery and didn’t want to give up his comfortable tennis shoes. ... "
" ... Being able to slip them on and off without tying laces is glorious! ... "

" ... Absolute junk , they don't hold in place as you see other reviews' pictures , could not get 2 month use out of them !! ... "
" ... They are either to tight or to loose. ... "
" ... This definitely is not a one size fits all. ... "
" ... Could only use 4 each shoe, had 7 eyelets, still tight, left bottom one empty plus the last 2 on top ... "
" ... He even had them on the loose option the top 2 holes of the shoe. ... "
" ... I tried lacing them in different ways and they were still too tight. ... "

" ... They are not very durable at all. ... "
" ... I installed these things on my son's shoes and in less than a month, three have broken. ... "
" ... Bought then for my aging father, hoping that it would solve the issue of having him bend and tie shoelaces. ... On a particular rainy day, almost all but 1 snapped. ... "
" ... They’re thin, too tight, and I broke almost half of them in the span of two days. ... "
" ... Lasted just one month before a band has broken. ... "
" ... I thought I was buying a quality product so I wouldn’t have the frustration of them breaking. ... "
" ... They are too thick to squeeze through the loops, and if I pulled hard enough to get them through I'm sure they would be in several pieces. ... They are not the strongest material, so it's a product I wouldn't buy again (at least not on line), and I'll just have to be old-school laced up for now. ... "
" ... Only a couple of weeks and 2 of the Huskies have broke while at work. ... "

" ... One of the laces broke within the first two weeks. ... "
" ... They started breaking after a few days of use. ... We found if we only use them on the bottom two laces and leave the other laces empty, they will last about a month before breaking. ... "
" ... No good reason why these should be breaking. ... "
" ... I haven't even had these a month yet! ... "
" ... These broke within days. ... "
" ... One broke after first day. ... "
" ... Anyways it's been a little over 6 months since I originally bought the Hickies ... I bought them in June & my problems started in November. ... I'm very disappointed that Hickies didn't even last a year when I expected to get the remainder of the shoes life out of them & the shoes are only 3 years old. ... "
" ... these don't last that long maybe a month before they break ... "
