Diagonal One No-Tie Silicone Shoelaces for Kids and Adults, Elastic Shoe Laces for Sneakers, Tieless Slip-On Design, Black, 16 Piece Set

I basically got $130 pair of shoes for free by buying these shoe laces. Every year when the weather would get cold. I would bring out these boots. every year it would get harder to bend over and tie the shoe laces, and every year I would become completely exasperated, when the laces that came with the expensive boots would be become untied after a short walk. I don't know why they don't make them bigger. I want some to buy them as Christmas presents. But the first person I'd start with wears a men's 13. There's no way I could use the smaller ones, and the big ones were too big, so I used the mid-sized laces. Was I worried they would break when I put them in! Patience! Patience! I used an old dental tool from the days when I was in the dental business. I sort of gently poked it through. Now I'm wearing my boots every day and I can just slip into them too. Instead of tying anything.
