No tie shoelaces are a must for every parent
As a Mom for the past 20 years and a teacher for 10 years I have probably tied over a million shoes, possibly even more. When my boys were little I loved buying velcro shoes because I did not need to worry about tying their laces. As they got older the velcro options dwindled down to nothing. Two of my boys have hypotonia which means their hands and fingers have very weak muscle tone which prevents them from doing simple things like tying their shoes. When SnapLaces contacted us and asked if we would like to try a pair of their high performance no tie shoelaces we said, “YES please!”. Once we tried this new product we realized we could not live without them. SnapLaces are life changing and every single kid in the world would love to have these instead of tying their shoelaces all day long. In the picture above you can see the pink SnapLaces in my daughter’s shoes. Yes, my daughter loves to tie her shoes and she ties all her friend’s shoes too. But when she saw her brothers had these cool no-tie laces she wanted to try them too. She does not miss tying her shoes at all and she wishes all the kids in her class had them. The SnapLaces take a few minutes to fit into the shoe, but once they are in, you never need to touch them again. My husband even tried these in his sneakers and he was very impressed. It was so much easier to put on his sneakers to take the dog out for a quick walk. You can even buy these laces on Amazon here. They come in tons of different colors for your child to make their sneakers tons of fun and easier to use!
We have one more recommendation you cannot live without. BugBand is a bracelet that is easy to use. You simply take it out of the package and put it on your wrist, simple right? This bracelet has insect repellant built into it, which is safe to use for kids or adults and is deet free. Plus, this particular band glows in the dark. We use these bands on any dark dog walks to keep the bugs away and to also keep us safe at night. These bands repel mosquitos, flies, gnats, no-see-ums and fleas. Each band lasts 120 hours when it is stored in its reusable container. You can find a whole bunch of different BugBand products on Amazon here. We used these bracelets all summer and we had almost zero bug bites!
Both the SnapLaces and the BugBands were products that we reviewed this summer. All thoughts and opinions are 100% our own.
I need this for my kids. My oldest can tie her laces but she doesn’t keep up with it.
These SnapLaces are even great for adults! You can just slip on your shoes in seconds.
Those sound great! My kids are all old enough to tie their shoes. But I have to wonder if I shouldn’t be using them. 😉
Seriously, the SnapLaces would make your life easier!
This is really perfect for me, I’m lazy when it comes to tie the lace of my shoes.
My husband loved using the SnapLaces! He said it just made putting on his sneakers so much easier.
I was surprised to learn a couple years ago that preschool teachers at my school send home letters saying not to send kids to school with laces! They said they don’t have time to help kids re-tie their shoes throughout the day. I know a lot of kids who don’t care for velcro, though. I can see these being a great way to let kids pick the shoes (with laces) that they want without having to retie them on their own.
Wow, Emily, that is so interesting! As a teacher I was tying shoes all day long. If all the kids in the class did not have laces to tie life would have been so much easier!
I need these laces for my shoes. I hate when my shoes get untied and these are an easy way to slip them on and go.
Adults can really enjoy the SnapLaces too! Kids should not get all the cool products, right?
Snaplaces would be so convenient for our 7 year old’s shoes. He knows how to tie his shoelaces but never seems to want to take the time to do it 🙂
Kids do not want to waste time tying their shoes and that is why SnapLaces is such a great idea and time saver. I hope you get your son a pair to try and see how he likes them.
Oh, this will make things a lot easier for my twin granddaughters. I need to check this out.
I think every parent of twins should have these SnapLaces for sure! It makes leaving the house so much easier.
I’m definitely going to have to get some for the twins:)
Your twins would love these!!
SnapLances are not just for kids either. I know I have arthritis and my hand don’t work right some times so these would come in handy for me. Thanks for sharing these awesome laces.
These laces would be perfect for someone with arthritis. You might need help putting them in initially, but once they are in you just leave them there and enjoy the no-tie aspect!
My husband loves his no tie shoelaces. I packed mine in a box and can’t find the “go figure”. I will have to find them after we move and get settled.
Yes, you need to find your no tie laces! Aren’t they the greatest invention?
Now these shoelaces look amazing! I’m just starting to teach my five year old how to tie his shoes and it is so stressful. Glad to have SnapLaces on my radar!
Teaching kids to tie their laces is not only stressful it is hard work! Plus, they keep coming untied all day long and they need to stop and do it again. SnapLaces are lifesavers!
This is an amazing invention. I would use them for baseball and softball cleats. Seems like my kids are always taking a time-out to tie
Wow, what a great idea. Sports shoes would be a perfect place to use SnapLaces!
great idea for a kids shoe… I’ll keep this in mind and find these for both my kids, thanks for sharing : )
I really think all kids shoes should just come with SnapLaces 🙂
My son needs these so badly! It seems like I’m telling him every 5 minutes to tie his shoe laces and then poof – they are undone again!
Kids naturally have untied shoes because they are active and the laces just untie! I hope your son can try a pair of these soon!
How cool! Love the idea of not having to tie shoelaces – saves us time, big time! 🙂 My son is old enough to tie his own shoelaces, but I think he’d love the idea of not having to tie it too.
These laces are really great for busy adults or teens. My teen loves having one less job of tying his shoes all day!
OH my word! This is exactly what I need for my daughter. She just started school and the lace has been annoying me more than its annoying her.
You can find these awesome SnapLaces on their website or on Amazon. Plus, they come in super fun colors. I hope your daughter loves them as much as we do.
This would be perfect for my little one. It would make a frustrating task easier and save time
Tying shoes are a very frustrating task! SnapLaces are here to make our lives easier.
