It's almost the beginning of a new school year which means we've been shopping for all the necessities these past few weeks. We've got the notebooks, crayons, and hand sanitizer covered, and now it's time for apparel. I was recently introduced to HICKIES Elastic Lacing System and I knew they'd be perfect for our son. I've partnered with HICKIES no-tie shoe lacing system to share more about their shoelaces of the future, and I'm giving away six sets of HICKIES for kids!
My son is young and tying shoelaces is pretty much impossible for him. On top of that, his laces come untied throughout the day and get in the way when he's biking or playing on the playground. Then he has to find someone to help him tie his shoes (though he's more likely to just run around with them loose until he loses a shoe or trips!). The HICKIES Elastic Lacing System is the perfect alternative because you fasten the laces in your shoes just once, then they're good to go!
HICKIES Elastic Lacing System for Kids
My son wears tennis shoes most of the time and we chose Neon Yellow HICKIES to match his favorite pair. Each set comes packaged with a set of instructions that tell you exactly how to install your HICKIES.
There are different installation patterns depending on how you want your shoes to fit. I tried both for my little guy (looser on the left below and normal on the right). In the end, the classic installation worked great for him.
They were so simple to thread through the eyelets of his shoes and fasten. The best part is, once you do it once, you never have to adjust them again (but you definitely can if you want to).
HICKIES are great for kids of all ages, and we're especially loving the benefits for our son. He doesn't have to be self-conscious about not being able to tie his own shoes yet with these awesome laces. Plus, he says they are comfortable and his shoes don't slip off even while he's playing hard.
He's gotten lots of compliments on his HICKIES laces so far, and everyone is amazed by the innovation of the laces. They save us so much time in the morning also, because he can just slip them on and head out the door! I also really like that they give him a little bit of individuality. He's got to wear a pretty standard uniform at school, but the HICKIES let him stand out from the crowd just a bit.
I'm also thrilled to add HICKIES to my little guy's tee ball cleats. Last season, his laces kept coming untied and I had to keep running out to the field to re-tie them. Never again with HICKIES! Plus, I love that he can add a bit of team spirit to his cleats since HICKIES come in all sorts of colors and patterns.
HICKIES Elastic Lacing System for Teens and Adults
The great news is, HICKIES aren't just for kids! They also make a HICKIES Elastic Lacing System for adults. I was excited to try HICKIES 2.0 in Neon Pink to match my running shoes.
One of the things I appreciate most about HICKIES is the variety of configurations I can use. When I'm running, I like my shoes to be tight and stay firmly in place. I always struggled to get regular laces since I either can't get them tight enough or they end up too tight. At the risk of sounding like Goldilocks, HICKIES feel just right. For everyday wear, I prefer my sneaker looser and I love that I can easily change up the configuration when I want.
I really like the clean look of my shoes with HICKIES and I love saving time when heading out the door since I don't have to tie my shoes anymore. They are perfect for casual joggers or for people who run triathlons and other events.
HICKIES really are the shoe laces of the future, and I can't say enough about this no-tie lacing system. Plus, they're affordable and long lasting! If you purchase from the HICKIES website they've got a couple of great deals going on right now. If you buy 3 sets you get 1 free, and shipping is only 99 cents with a purchase of two or more packs.

I'd be boring this time, should I win... because I want these for my HUSBAND.. for reasons. LOL I'm horrified at how he wears his sneakers. You would be too. He hates the tie and untie so he pushes the tongue of the shoe up thru looser laces and pulls them on and off and looks... well, it looks super slobby. I want these for HIM.
