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.

Stayed tied well didn't last very long though i only got two months out of the pair i bought

Sure will, I've got a 42 waist, but I don't tie a knot. I wrap the ends around each other a couple of times. The friction holds the laces fine while I sit at my desk.

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

The idea behind the locking laces is that the lace is actually stretchy. This allows you to remove shoes without having to tie and untie laces. The standard lace in a shoe does not allow that.

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.

Not sure what to tell u since we tied the bands on using a self-tightening knot. U can find the knot on YouTube. Good luck.

None with mine. I have put these on before. Just place so laces tighten firmly. I also put duct tape rolls underneath to stabilize. Works well.

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

we have had to put ties on them after they came apart, but other than that, they serve the purpose well. We have had them for some time now, and have re-ordered other pairs.

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.

One pair of boot laces works just fine. You'll end up with a fair amount left over, as you just knot the ends at the top of the laces.

I just looked at mine, and there are actually opening in the mesh along the bottom that would probably allow you to attach the laces. I wouldn't recommend cutting, as you would ruin the integrity of the net and it may cause further unravelling.

I have no issues with the knots. They only needed tightening out of the box and then I forgot about them.

I have no comparison as I only wear the SPAT. I have worn it on my shoe from day one. If a lace up I put it through 3 laces...half of one set and ll of the next lower one. If no laces, my other shoes will barely accommodate it. I've heard of clips breaking and being replaced, but that's no good if you lose it altogether.

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.

Actually, when I first got it, I just stuck the sensor between the tounge of the shoe and the laces. It worked great, but I worried that it might, eventually, fall out. So, I cut a little slit in the tounge of my running shoe, stuck it down in there and then sewed it shut again. Works like a charm.

Use a small flat head screw driver and undo the clip. These laces are awesome. They're tight enough to allow your feet to be stable in the shoes, but do not cause pressure point issues.
