When you tie the lace, how well does the knot stay tied? I've experienced many laces that come untied easily. How are these?

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

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

Hi, for the most part it stays tied pretty well. I don't have issues with them. I wear these boots very often.

I havent had any problems with laces coming untied. I usually break a pair of boots down every 3-4 months, but my laces last.

I always double-knot mine, they hold all day. Not sure how well a single knot holds up.

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.

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.

I just loosen the laces and slip my foot it, I don't totally re-lace it each time I wear it.

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.

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!

Yes. I had a set of these which I used almost everyday for a year and one lace began to fray. I called their customer service, sent a pic via email along with a copy of my receipt and I had a new set within a week..awesome customer service and great laces...!!

No I have re-used them numerous times. Use a pair of scissors or a small flat screwdriver and push the tab inwards that clicks when you first clicked them on then pull apart. It is a little stubborn but you won't break them as long as you push the tab onwards first. After you get it open re-trim the laces and snap back together.

No,it does not come with a lace closure. But it is a wonderful hair. It's worth your money. You can re-use it after you wear it and it still look fabulous

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.

Unfortunately no. It is the same as any other tie down you pull tight and tie off. I wish it had a locking mechanism to it. It does seem very durable though.

Yes, it is very easy to tie a knot with the 8 lb version. Easy to tie knots with 20lbs and under break strength.

I tie the cord through one hole and the body. Not just a knot to stop the cord pulling through. Pass the cord through both holes so you have a loop at the end where you tied the knot. The cord must be thin enough to pass through the hole twice.

nope - just like shoelaces... you can tie a simple knot and they stay snug...

I use the same knots as I do with monofilament, I just double up on the wraps to account for the slipperiness of the braid (eg 12-14 wraps for an improved clinch knot). Never had an issue.

I think that bead set comes with connector beads that you put on each end. They are come shaped beads that snap together. Pull the string through that perked end and tie knot. The knot will slip inside the cone shape and let you close the beads together.

I havent had that problem. Maybe you can find a large washer from your local hardware store and put those on the inside of the knot and it might prevent it from coming out of the loops.

No my child has not gotten these undone. They've stayed securely tied. He's very curious & always figured out how to get into things & hasn't tried anything with these. He's currently 21 months old & we've had these on his crib since he began teething quite a while ago.

There are 2 lace clips included. You insert the laces onto the clip. It will permanently lock the lace inside the clip. Just make sure you insert about 1/2 inch lace inside the clip.
