``Strong shoes'' have probably been worn by everyone.
Most leather shoes and even sneakers have laces.
While threading the laces through the shoe holes of newly purchased shoes,
When you close it tightly,
I might be the only one who feels strangely motivated, but
It's good at first.
It's fine when I put them on, but when I take them off...it's annoying!!

So I recently found this (probably it's been around for a long time) and it's super easy.



Yes, "shoelaces"...

It looks like a very ordinary shoelace.
The shoelaces I found at the 100 yen shop are incredibly stretchy!

Are the shoelaces used for sneakers made of cotton? Many are made of synthetic fibers,
Basically, it does not expand or contract.
Perhaps when you play sports, the laces stretch and the shoes become loose.
This may be because it can easily cause injury,
For daily use, it is better to be able to easily put on and take off the shoes.

When I tried changing things,
This expands and contracts quite a bit, so it's easy to put on and take off.
I immediately replaced all the laces on my sneakers with these.
The advantage is that it's too easy,
Best of all, there is no need to spend time tightening or loosening the strings.
It's a great thing that helps save time!

The type of Adidas Ultra Boost that I previously purchased has no laces.
A sock-like structure that stretches the entire upper.
However, even with this, if one part breaks or falls out, the shoe itself becomes unwearable.
If it's a string, you can just replace it if it gets damaged.
Even if you replace it, it's cheap.
And above all, I'm glad that it's worth more than 110 yen.

This season, even sneakers can get stuffy, so I tend to wear sandals.
Sandals make it difficult to walk and cause poor posture,
I only wear them when I take out the trash and go to the beach.

In that case, you will have to wear shoes properly.
Even though the rainy season has ended, there are still frequent sudden rains.
In such cases, regular shoelaces absorb moisture and are difficult to unravel.
The worst thing is that the string gets wet and gets tangled and you can't untie it...
Just thinking about it makes me hate it.
Even in such a case, if you use this elastic string,
Easy to take off even when taking off wet shoes.

If you are interested, please try buying it once.
Most people will probably want to change all their shoelaces!
