are these laces difficult to tie

No, I purchased mine extra long so I just wrap around twice then tie them snug. Haven't had them come untied once. I'll have to resole these boots before the laces give out.

They are a little abrasive to the fingers but not hard to tie. They hold well.

These laces look and feel quite similar to standard laces. I believe them to be made of Kevlar, as they are EXTREMELY durable! They are flexible, yet stay just where you tie them. Expensive, yes--but for all appearances worth the money as they will outlast standard laces MANY times over!

No, but they are very thick and depending on the chair, you don't really need ties ~

No, not really. They are adhesive. You would have to get very creative to tie it on with thin roping.

I use a variation of surgeons knot where I wrap twice so its not a problem... Also try google'n Ted Talks "how to tie shoelaces"... It's bizarre but most of us may have been doing it "wrong" since childhood.

Dear Rose B --It's been a couple of years (I think) since I bought these laces so I don't recall anything specific. My friend installed them and missed a hole. It's not a big deal. It's better to follow the old laces with the new laces. BTW I didn't ask my friend to re-lace the chair. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.

They don't stay tied as well as normal shoes laces, but I have yet to have them come untied while wearing them.

No, they are too slippery and course to tie...I recommend not buying them at all...we wanted to use them for dancing and when the kids stepped on the ones on the ground they slipped and fell, it's a miracle no one broke a bone

A bit, ya. I just tie the laces a little looser and it's fine. I also wear wide shoes, so the impact is less noticeable. If your shoe is very narrow at the opening, it could be weird. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Mine weren't that tangled when I received them. you have to pull down on each strand for it be as long as they say.

Yes I did shorten mine too with a very sharp knife and then put very small snap ties on the ends of them to make sure they don't frey even though they probably wouldn't anyway. Great laces nothing better I put mine into rocky boots that are 2 years old and were them every day and will get another year out of them too. Buy the laces like I will every time... 10 out of 10

Yes, it was really easy. I have one pair that I removed two links from. All you need is a thin flat head screw driver and a pair of pliers to remove the small pin, cut off two end links and then replace the small pin. They work great!

Yes, they are. The tie dye bands seem to stretch out a little bit more than the solid colored bands, IMO, but they still work.

Tie them very tight. Never had a problem with my 10.5 month old. He hasn't even tried!

They come untied quite easily until they are worn in and softer/ flexible. Until then use a double knot!

Mine stay tight for a 10 hour work day. The first couple weeks they were stiff and I double knotted them. It seemed after 2-3 weeks that they became more flexible and now I do not bother double knotting them.

Its fairly wide, so I would say not super easy to tie any kind of knot. It would probably compromise some of the strength of the webbing where the knots were. Its very similar to seat belt strap material.
