We love the convenience of slip-on sneakers — pulling them on means not being stuck bent over to tie your shoes. But, if we're being honest, nothing beats the classic style of lace-ups. Luckily, we found a gadget that will turn all your favorite sneakers into slip-on shoes, making them super easy to pull on and take off: the Xpand No Tie Shoelaces System. Once you put these laces on you’ll never have to worry about tying your shoes again and right now, you can grab a set on sale for just $10.

These stretchy no-tie laces will keep you upright for good. Also good: There are a whopping 37 colors to choose from!
Why is it a good deal? ????
You can't really put a price on something that eases pain as well as simplify day-to-day tasks. That said, this doodad goes on sale throughout the year, but the price rarely dips lower than $10.
Why do I need this? ????
Perfect for seniors, people with disabilities, kids or just anyone who doesn’t want to deal with loose laces, Xpand No Tie Shoelaces are stretchy and adjustable, so you can customize them for the ideal fit with the right amount of support and comfort. They use the brand’s patented Lace Anchor locks to firmly secure them inside your shoes. Once installed, the locks will hold your desired tension in place until you decide to change them.
These one-size-fits-all wonders can be used on all manner of footwear, including men's, women's and children’s sizes, and everything from running shoes to casual sneakers and even boots. There are 37 color options, from classics like black and white to bold neon options and even reflective laces which keep you visible — and safe — if you like to walk or run at night. Best of all, once they're on, shoppers say they look like regular laces.

What reviewers say ????
Over 23,000 Amazon shoppers have given them a five-star rating.
Pros ????
“If you are handicapped like myself and have been struggling with traditional shoelaces, Xpand elastic shoelaces are a game changer,” raved one. “They are designed to eliminate the need for tying and untying shoelaces, making them ideal for people with limited mobility or dexterity. With Xpand laces, you can easily slip your shoes on and off without any fuss, and they'll always stay secure on your feet.”
"Exactly what I needed, exactly what they promised," shared another five-star fan. "I have problems with my left foot swelling. I've tried shoe horns and have had to buy from a limited set of shoes for years to get my shoes on. I prefer Nike walkers. So on a lark, I bought these 'stretchy' shoe laces. They worked perfectly. I can now slide my feet into both shoes without much effort, and without untying the laces. Once on, they fit fine and it's possible to pull my feet out easily."
"Never going back to tying laces!" declared another happy shopper. "I mostly wear slip-on boots ... untying and trying shoes is such a pain. This has allowed me to get back into my sneaks by making them essentially slip-ons. I usually don't like slip-on shoes because I like my shoes to fit tight. These laces allow the shoes to fit tight and they look just like normal laces except no excess laces flopping around. I may never use regular laces again.
Cons ????
Color options seem to be on the wish list of some shoppers.
"Best $10 I've ever spent," shared one shopper. "I do wish they had an off-white because it is obvious that this brilliant white did not come with the shoe, but that's minor."
Another shopper wrote: "Desperately wish they came in many more colors, even patterns."
