Anyone try these with Salomon shoes? Solomon shoes have very small eyelets for their quick lace system.

Viking here: Yes, these laces will work with ANY shoes. They would work with combat boots if you wanted. They can be cut to fit any style shoe for almost any length. They are adequate for most shoes.

Rodney, I have owned several pair of the Irish Setter Soft Paws and even though the robust leather uppers with occasional polishing show little wear, worn soles necessitated replacement. An Achilles' heel (pun intended) of the shoes is the OEM laces, which do seem to wear/fray too quickly. I too have attempted to obtain replacement laces from Red Wing directly and through local shoe stores, but with no success. I now use the readily available KIWI Outdoor Brand brown laces (product code 2114) in my Soft Paws. They look good and are more robust than the OEMs. As I wear size 14EE shoes, I find the 45" laces are appropriate, but the KIWI laces are available in 36" as well. After the OEM laces wear out, the next component(s) which I have found to need replacement is/are the "Scent Ban" insoles. As a "better than original" replacement, I use the New Balance Pressure Relief Insoles (product code IPR3030). They are pricey, but if you are on your feet for hours, they are worth the money. Because I have been wearing Soft Paws for years now, obviously, I do like the product! Roger

Yes, although I can't quite get them as tight as I could with regular laces. I find that I can get them as tight as I need them, sometimes they get a little too tight at the top and not tight enough at the bottom.

I have with a size 14 shoe size. It seems to work just fine, though it may be a bit cramped area for your feet, but not enough as to alter the reading.

I one had to buy the ladies large and they worked for me. I am a man with a 10.5 shoe. So, that would suggest they would be fine for you. I highly rec this product. Saved my feet! Also, Amazon is $2-3 less then the drug stores.

I dont know what type of shoes you have but yes. I have a bunion and I can wear my brand new shoes now. BUT-I stretched them for several weeks! I kept turning the shoe horn and I would leave the shoes to stretch. If after a few days I could turn it I did. So my answer is yes, but if you want it quick and in a hurry, I dont think it will work.

I don't think these would work if you need them wide for your bunion. I think they are a bit narrow.

Where can I buy more laces? my son drags these around with him everywhere so we're always losing the laces. I don't know what they're called or their measurements so I don't know what to look for.

It takes two hands to set up the lock laces into place. Mainly slipping the laces into the lock wheel because it is not difficult but not easy to hold the button down, which opens the wheel, to allow the laces to thread into. After the set up process, fit the shoe how you want it to feel while wearing them and you will never need to tighten, loosen or use two hands to slip your shoes on again.

I would recommend up. The inserts are 3/4 length -- if your shoes are a half-size too small, then your toes are going to be pinched, but the half-size difference here really doesn't make a difference.

That I'm not sure about. BBall puts a big strain on laces with stops and turns. The laces do stretch. They seem ok for running and walking. The gripper things seem to hold a lot better than others I have had. There is another brand of laces that do not stretch that may be better if the grippers work as well.

you could, but without the stretchiness of the included lace material, not certain that would be an ideal solution. the locks have teeth designed for this material, but they would probably work on regular laces, too.

It depends on your shoes. I have found that they are too tight on my weightlifting shoes(very flat shoes, I am referring to the New Balance mx20v3.) So I dont use them. But they are fine on my asics crosstrainers.(larger shoes gel 180 TR) I also like to keep my feet tight on my shoes so depends on your fit. Hope it helps

They should work fine. The laces you'll receive will be plenty long enough. In fact, you will have to cut off several inches to not have to much flapping. Cut off less than you think - which is not what I did - you can always trim more lace off later if necessary but cannot add back on.

A small should be just fine. It laces up amd can be pulled as tightly as you need it. The crossing bands give great extra support.

They would work just fine. On my running shoes, they work very well and prevent me from having to stop if a shoe comes untied. You can secure them as loosely or as tightly as you want. I like them.
