These work on my size 6.5 women's walking trainers
I bought the small size, because this is the 3rd of these I've ordered (others were silicon and didn't work at all for my shoes or trainers). The metal bar means these are much easier to get through the lace holes. However even with the small set, I had to use the smallest ones for size 6.5 ladies trainers - and they are not quite as tight as laces would be. I'd love an even smaller set to get them a little tighter. Overall, good value for money and they do what they're supposed to. I have osteoarthritis in my hands, so tying laces is often difficult, this makes things easier.

does the same job as the rubber equivalent you can buy, but 1000 times easier to install!
I've got MS, and sometimes fine motor control movements (like tie shoelaces) is a problem. I bought the rubber shoe lace replacements, which were good, but REALLY hard to install. Plus, after about a year or so, they start to degrade and break off. I saw this item, which performs the same job, but is MUCH easier to install. Took literally 5 minutes for both shoes, if that. (I remember the rubber ones took almost an hour, they were so finnicky!)I'm buying several more packs for other shoes I have and for shoes I buy in the future - just in case this product becomes unavailable. I don't know how long they'll last, but if they last 18 months before needing replacements, I'd be happy. Glad I bought them.

So easy to put in
I ordered these because usually I use the non metal ended one which, give them their due, are fantastic to use but can be a pain to put in. These ones were so much easier to put in and do the job just as well. My children struggle with fine motor skills so these types of laces are a necessity and I used them for a pair of football boots. My biggest concern was sensory issues due to them being metal ended but so far I have had no complaints and all is well. I would highly recommend these for trainers.

These are brilliant!
These are absolutely perfect for the intended use. Definitely look at the different sizes though and measure the diameter between the eyelets on the shoes where you'll be threading them through to choose the right size. I did that and went with a small and they were perfect (even though according to the product description I should have gone with medium as a lady with size 6 feet). The small were an absolute perfect fit. Incredibly easy to use and they actually look better than the laces I replaced. I've recently had my hip replaced so can't bend down to tie shoe laces, so these are absolutely fantastic. I can easily slip my feet in, and they have a good amount of give for you to easily get your foot in, and then relax back to the perfect amount of tightness to keep your foot securely in.I'm really pleasantly surprised, they far exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely buy these again for another pair of shoes if needed. 10/10. Brilliant. Happy customer.

Be weary of size guide
So I'm a size 10 men, decided to buy the ones recommend by the guide and they were waaay too big, the top was fine but the bottom half of the laces were just hanging loose. Fast forward I decided to buy the small version and they fit my Nike Blazers perfectly. They were ever so slightly tight around the very top so I used a couple from the large pack for the top and the rest are small.Look pretty decent, not as nice as real laces although I think once they're dirtied up a little they will blend in much more with the rest of the shoe.All in all I think if you have a wide laced shoe the guide might be ok, but for something like a high top that can be narrow across the laces I would recommend small or even a mix of two packs if you can afford it.Will update review after some use for durability.

Wonderful
Brilliant!Especially good for people with dyspraxia or autism.They're easy enough to put on, and make shoes/boots so much easier to put on, and without the stress of laces coming undone all of the time.Would definitely recommend.

Really good
Brilliant, transformed my trainers.Was going to buy velcro shoes, now no need. Really impressed. Thought the metal eyelet might be uncomfortable but don't notice them. Trainers stay firmly on feet.Not sure how long they'll last once elastic starts to age and stretch, but for now they're great. Only minor downside is they look very elastic/synthetic. A more cotton looking version would look better for some shoes, but couldn't find any.

Excellent idea
Great idea for people who tend to pull trainers on and off without doing the laces every time. Good value pack with more than is needed for normal trainers but they are quite hard to fit in the lace holes lower down, I broke a few nails trying to push and pull them through the holes and ended up using a flat knife to force them through. Could be that the trainers I was using the, on had smaller holes but they are adult trainers. When fitted they look good and have enough tension to be able to pull the trainers on and off while still feeling tight enough while being worn. Will buy more.
